The longer I am on this $5 diet, the more I start to feel as if it is actually working! I don't feel bloated all the time like I used to, and I can actually flex my six pack once in a while (it's in there somewhere).
Okay, so today I went to El Pollo Loco for lunch and the funniest thing happened! As I was examining their Loco Value Menu, I raised my iPhone to take a picture, and this short, Latino guy yelled out, "We don't allow you to take pictures here!"
I felt like clobbering the little guy, but I instead played the dummy card and pretended not to hear him, and he left me alone.
So I was about to order three items from their $1 menu, but then a picture caught my eye, it was the image of a delicious grilled steak taco, and I just had to have one! So I ordered the grilled steak taco, a BRC burrito and a small beverage.
I must say that the taco was exquisite! The blend of steak with guacamole, diced tomatoes and onion was brilliant! Yes, I said onions! No, I don't usually eat them, but in this case they were so good! Wow. Or, perhaps I was just starving so much it tasted like a five-star gourmet dish? The only bad thing about it was the price: $2.49. FOR A TACO!!!
The BRC burrito, on the other hand, was bland and unimaginative. They basically slapped together some beans, rice and cheese, wrapped it up in a flour tortilla and called it a BRC burrito. BORING!!! The good thing, though, is that it was only a buck.
So the total for the entire meal was $2.49 for the steak taco, $1.00 for the BRC burrito, and $1.59 for the drink. That is $5.08 for the meal, plus $0.44 in taxes equals $5.52. I know, I know, I have to keep it under five bucks... otherwise what is the point of a five dollar diet?
Well, IT'S NOT MY FAULT WE HAVE TO PAY TAXES!!! Is it really fair that I should have to include taxes when calculating my meal options? Aaaargh!!! It's so annoying!
Oh, well, at least I got my pictures!!!
