Sometimes weekends offer a reprieve from the plaguing question -”What do I want for lunch?”. Doing weekend chores, catching up on to do lists or getting out with the family can usually lead to some different eating out ideas or eating at home can be an inexpensive option too. But this weekend I ate two new lunches.
The first from a place we all know — McDonalds. As much as I try not to eat at the most popular fast food restaurant, my accounting register says that I eat at McDonalds more frequently than any where else. McDonalds are located every other block, in every city or every highway exit. They have truly made sure they are seen everywhere. I eat breakfast there, because its right on the way to work. They’ve got a wide variety dollar menu, but it’s still cheaper in the long run to buy a value meal. For other lunch ideas they even give you a suggestion list on their website.
The Dollar Menu Lunch
$1 Spicy McChicken Sandwich
$1 Small Iced Tea
Total Cost: $2.21
A not so well-known restaurant near my house is Chicago Times. They offer chicago style food in the middle of Colorado. I’ve eaten their pizzas before and they are quite scrumptious. For lunch with my family I had yet another hot dog, but this time it was not an $8 hot dog it was only $2.49. The oddest thing about their Vienna dog is the relish. It reminds me of kryptonite because I think it may glow in the dark with it’s flourescent green. The green just stands out among the other colors placed on this hot dog - red tomatoes, yellow mustard, white onions inside the bread bun on top of the grilled to perfection brown hot dog.
The Chicago Style Vienna Hot Dog
The Colorful Hot Dog
1 Bag of Cool Ranch Dorritos
1 32oz Cherry Pepsi
Total Cost: $5.64
