(1) Is it true that some Targets and Wal-Marts have restaurants?
I have a daily allowance of 25$ for dinner. Let's see, a burger
and Naboo fighter? Does a Wal-mart dinner come anywhere near
25$?? Would "71xx Naboo Swamp......$12.00" on a receipt look
like, or pass for, a Cajun meal? Hmmm......

Walmarts have McDonald's and Targets frequently have a combination Taco Bell/
Pizza Hut. You can get a full meal for about $5 from McDonald's, though I don't
envy you that diet. In general dining out is much cheaper in the states than it
is in the UK. (Times I've been in the UK I've found when dining out it's better
to pretend the exchange rate is 1 to 1, it makes ordering and eating much more
enjoyable).

The Naboo Swamp is $9.99 here, plus sales tax (which varies where you are in
the states, from 0 in New Hampshire to lots and lots in NYC).

Hope this helps,
