Cheap Chicken Tuesday - 7/22/2014

Hello.  Today is Tuesday.  That is Cheap Chicken Tuesday at Popeye's.  A 2 piece leg and thigh is only $1.09 plus tax in Colorado Springs, CO. In San Diego, CA., it's $1.49 and it's only 99 cents plus tax in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I waited just about a minute in line to order. I ordered two of the 2 piece specials mild. It took me 15 minutes to get my order. When food is cheap, there is a competition between people to get the limited amount of chicken for their meals.  Cheaper's Creepers!

How long would you wait for your fried chicken?  Let me know.

That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Tiny Chocolates - 7/16/2014

Hello, everyone.  With the announcement from the Hershey Company price increase on their product line, it's time to rethink how you buy your chocolate candy.

     I would try to buy less chocolate. Instead of buying a regular candy bar, why not try just buying tasting chocolate squares?  It's just one or two bites. They are usually $1 and under.  I like that concept.  I feel that children will get used to mini chocolate bars.  If they want more, they will be more industrious.  I bet that your kids will work for chocolate.

I am considering changing my chocolate in my chocolate sauce for the ChocoChurro Bites.  Instead of using a Hershey's Special Dark bar, I'll use two Chuao Chocolatier Spicy Maya mini bars.  I know that Belen De Leon from 9 News in Denver, CO still wants to try them.

That's it for this blog post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

NOLA Philly Cheesesteak - 7/12/2014

Hello.  A few weeks ago, I had lunch at Seeds Community Cafe.  For lunch, I had the NOLA Philly Cheesesteak. It's marinated steak with peppers, onions and cheese.  Here's a picture of what I had before I ate it.


Doesn't that look good?  This entree, when on the menu, is sure to sell out quick.  Why not come and try this or any other of their entrees with a soup or salad and help out the community?  How about special ordering a few of these for a boxed lunch?  If you are visiting Colorado Springs, CO anytime soon, please visit Seeds Community Cafe for lunch.

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Doritos Loaded.- 7/9/2014

Hello, everyone.  I recently went by a 7/11 store in Colorado Springs, CO. I saw that they are selling Doritos Loaded cheese sticks.  Does that sound right?  Here's a picture of them on an outdoor sign.


Would you eat that?  It's just a Doritos spiced cheese stick.  6 for $1.99 plus tax.  Is it worth it?  You decide.

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Ruby Roman Grapes Go For $5500 - 7/6/2014

Hello.  Today, I saw a story about one bunch of Japan's Ruby Roman Grapes that was auctioned off.  The winning bid was US$ 5,500.  Isn't that incredible?  Here's a picture of that bunch of grapes.


How much would you pay for these grapes?  How much food could you buy for US$5,500?  

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a good day.

A Scoop Or A Pint - 7/4/2014

Hello.  Happy 4th of July to all of you in the United States of America.

I went to the Old Colorado City area of Colorado Springs today.  I sat on a bench by an ice cream shop.  I saw people get $4 scoops of ice cream.  That is not economical.  How about just going to the local grocery store about a mile out and get a pint of ice cream?  The store brand is cheaper than a $4 scoop of ice cream.  I would even dare to say that the vegan non dairy frozen desserts are cheaper than one single scoop of ice cream at that ice cream shop.

Remember, once your money is gone, it's probably gone for good.

That's all for this post. Until my next post, have a safe 4th of July.
