Is this lunch worth $7.92 ?

Post by Zilog B »

BBQ sandwhich, which I'll admit was good, a mix of sliced beef and ham, with bbq sauce

Medium sized order of French Fries, which are pretty good

Iced tea to drink...


Got it from a little hole in the wall BBQ place that is decent, but their prices seem to keep rising.

WTF do you go? I rarely eat out for lunch, but when I do, i buy myself 2 slices, garlic knots AND a soda for a tad over $5 on 5th Avenue.

Unless I go to Quiznos, where I spend about $8

I love Quiznos, but the closest one is clear on the other side of town, too far to drive.

Brown Bag it. For the cost of 8 bucks you could have purchased some deli meat, bread and the fixings to last the whole work week.

people, understand. Oil is up and so food must go up because guess what? Oil is used to make your sandwich. From the stove to the actual mayonais and or oilive oil put in it. these products are all derived from oils

let's hope we find more oil in the arab lands to feed our great society.

Depends how good the sandwich was. 8, 10, 12 bucks for lunch? ///shrugs/// No biggie for a good deli sandwich.

There's a place here where a bunch of co-workers and I go for lunch where you can get steak, salad, and a drink for about $7...little mom and pop bar and grill :thumb:
