Texas Customer Shocks Internet With Nearly $750 Buc-ee's Receipt - What Did They Buy?!

Buc-ee's isn't a cheap stop. It's not that they're overpriced, either. You just get overwhelmed walking in and you end up with a ton of things you may not need, but you definitely don't want to put back.

Like Beaver Nuggets, for example. Do you really need them? Absolutely not. Do you want them? More than anything. Should you pour them into a bowl, add milk, and eat it like cereal? Yes, and if you haven't tried it before, we can't recommend it enough.

But while it's easy to suddenly find yourself spending $75 or more, it seems like you'd have to try really hard to spend ten times that. But that is what one Texas customer did.

Ever Spent $750 at Buc-ee's?

We kid you not, a Texas customer on Facebook not only spent just under $750 at Buc-ee's, but she shared her receipt on Facebook as proof.

The customer posted in the Facebook Group "BUC-EES LOVERS ❤️" a snippet of her receipt, which showed that, after tax, they had managed to spend $745.47 at the Texas-based travel center.

"That s*** just happens when u grab ahold of one of them cute Bucee buggys[sic]," one person wrote in the Facebook group.

The customer was asked to show the whole receipt, which they did. Among the items they bought were:

• 4 brisket sandwiches
• A Buc-ee's seatbelt cover
• 3 doggie hoodies
• 2 packages of beef jerky
• A Buc-ee's cornhole board

There was a lot more, on there, but those items alone were around one-third of the total cost.

There were some negative comments on the page, but the original poster had a lot of supporters, too.
