Going price for a gas station hotdog is $2.99. But they are using better quality dogs and buns.

Cost per person. $2.25

    Yeah that is what we are seeing. Less than the cheapest prepared fare and quality above the best oftentimes.

      It’s weird how a person can often buy food to make at home that is lower quality than what we associate with the lowest quality.

      Gas stations are trying to cut costs on those prepared roller grill items as much as possible but they know that if they served the same low level quality we can buy at the grocery store no one will pay the premium for convenience.

        I kinda assume whats at the gas station is the lowest quality but then again I have encountered insanely bad grocery items.
