Eating on the Cheap
We all know there is some of us struggling out there with no gas money or food.
So go to a Pilot or Speedway where they have them SuperDogs at 2 for $2.00....
These dogs are kinda big and 2 is almost too much....
Take a knife in with ya and proceed to cut 1 dog down the middle and split it between the 2 buns...viola...Put the extra dog in the wrapper that the bun came out of and save for next meal....most cashiers will sell ya 2 buns for about .50 OR buy a loaf of bread and there ya go...
Oh yeah grab a couple of them mustard, ketchup, relish packets on the way out for the next one...you can reheat the dog at the next store in the nuker!
You can eat for $2.50 a day IF you are really that bad off.
AND if you really have the moxey...the Deli at Walmart will let you try their sliced meats and cheeses in samples usually half slices...slip them into a baggie just add bread and bingo! Real cheap meal...
Times are tough out there and save a buck where ya can...
Have a Very Good Day.......OVM aka Ken
BTW If you have a Speedway rewards card..after your 6th dog you get a 1,000 bonus points which can be redeemed for yet another dog....enjoy!

Re: Eating on the Cheap
You can also use any fresh road kill that you find. You do have to get permission from the Game Commission or what ever the state you find yourself in calls it, but hey, there is always a fine choice of different types of meat at the "Road Kill Cafe"!! MMMMM enjoy!!!

Re: Eating on the Cheap
Didn't we have a "serious" discussion a while ago about Phil helping out someone who was living on $10 a day for food? He gave him $100 and so on while the guy was contracted to FedEx - FedEx of all places?
$10 a day is good living for some of us.Greg

Re: Eating on the Cheap
if I had to revert to hot dogs I believe there would be a better place for me to work.
when I eat a hot dog its because its just a snack between meals
