Last year mcdonalds had the $1 lunch time cheese burgers.
As a vegetarian I ordered the burgers without the meat. wwithout the meat reduces them to 10cents (just bun, sauce and cheese). buy a $1 small chips + 2 meatless burgers for $1.20.
a reasonable and inexpensive feed. did for 2 straight weeks and couldn't stomach it anymore and made a pact that I'd never eat there again (except interstate drives).
last night tooks the kids to mcdonalds for a "treat" (i.e. too tired/lazy to cook) and they had the $2 chicken mayo burgers from the small change menu.
feeling hungry, I decided to get one with out the chicken. with out chicken it cost 40cents.
in went $1 small fries and I had a lettuce mayo chip burger for $1.40.
mildly satisfying. would eat again.
combine it with a $1.40 mcflurry and you have reasonable snack for less than $3
will try this, hope it works~!
