As the workers tackled the line, my turn was approaching quickly and I still had no idea what I was going to order. Just when only two customers remained in front of me I decided what my dinner was going to consist of:
- cheesey gordita crunch ($2.69)
- crunchy taco ($1.09)
- medium soda ($1.69)
- for a grand total of $5.47...SHOOT!
It was just about my turn when the big $5 box sign caught my attention. I read the detail that listed what the box contained: a cheesy gordita crunch, a crunchy taco, a medium soda, AND a supreme burrito.
A double take confirmed that this $5 box contained all the items I wanted plus a supreme burrito for a lower price. So in an attempt to get all that I wanted for dinner within my $5 budget I ordered the $5 box. The $5 box proved to provide more food for a lower cost than 3 of the 4 items seperate.
The look on my boyfriend's face when I presented the supreme burrito to him was the best part. Little did he know that my "thoughtful" gesture of picking him up a snack was the result of saving $0.47 to get my dinner of choice.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteI think we move so fast in our society some times we don't stop and think for ourselves. I am amazed how many times something like this comes up.I wonder how much money we would save in a year if we were conscious of our own spending behaviors.
