It’s a slow Monday and there’s not much to report, so I’ll keep this one brief.
Usually when I post about deals, I restrict them to Downtown restaurants, but today I’m going to make an exception. LivingSocial has a deal for $20 worth food and drink from Uncle Lou’s Fried Chicken for $10. The deal expires at midnight. Having worked near the airport for a year, I am familiar with Uncle Lou’s, and it is worth the drive to Whitehaven – it’s on Millbranch just south of Winchester. Some people think the chicken is better than Gus’s. The burgers are also considered to be among the best in town. If you’ve never been to Uncle Lou’s, this is your chance to try it while saving some money.
Speaking of saving money on food, my friend Air Traffic Mike continued with his $100 challenge yesterday. On day 2 of his quest to see how long $100 will feed him, ATM cooked breakfast. For about $1.75 grocery cost, ATM made a breakfast bowl of biscuits, tomatoes, bacon and eggs that looked every bit as good as the brunch items the Sunday Fun Day crew ordered at the Majestic. He washed it down with a 24 oz. PBR that, bought in bulk from the Cash & Carry, cost about a dollar more. As I’ve noted before, ATM has a nice pension, and if he wanted to eat out and drink beer all day, he certainly could have done it. He has the income, and he also doesn’t have to worry about driving home. With the challenge, however, he’s demonstrating that one can have a lot of fun on Sunday Fun Day without spending upward of $50. He’s alluded to a “change in circumstances” that will let him loosen up on beer purchases within the challenge, and I can’t wait to hear what that’s all about.
