The Duggars, of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," spent a whopping $614 at a New York City burger joint on Monday, and that was with a discount for the kids.
The
Duggar family outing to Bill's Bar & Burgers in Manhattan, which included 23 members of the Duggar clan, cost a fortune, even though six of the children qualified for the kids menu. Still, that's a lot of burgers and fries.

"FYI — Burgers start at $7.95 and could double in price if you want cheese and/or another burger patty," celebrity news site TMZ wrote. "Shakes run in the $6 range, $4 for fries, $8 for nachos, $2 per soda."
The Duggars' lives are chronicled on the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting." Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, of Arkansas, have 19 biological children, whose names all start with "J," spanning in age from 25 to 3.
Josh Duggar, the oldest sibling, has two children of his own with his wife Anna. The couple is expecting their third baby this summer, Jim Bob and Josh Duggar revealed on NBC's "Today" show earlier Monday. Like his brother and sisters, each of Josh Duggar's kids' names will start with the same letter ("M").
"It is very exciting," he told People Magazine. "It's fun for Michael and Mackynzie being so close in age and this baby will be, too. We feel very blessed and happy."
Jim Bob Duggar shared in the couple's excitement.
"Josh and Anna are great parents," he told People. "It is neat to see their family expanding. I remember those days when Michelle and I went from one to three because we had Josh and then we had twins. It is a great start."
Michelle Duggar had a tragic miscarriage in December 2011 with what would have been her 20th child.
A three-part "19 Kids and Counting" special that follows the Duggars on an Asian vacation airs this month on TLC.
