Rules of Bumming Vol 2: Best of the Worst/ Do the Dollar Menu


The truth is there isnt that much quality cheap food out there.  How do you survive in this environment?  You have to take the best of the worst.  Fast food joints are unfortunately the restaurants in our range at this point in our lives, so i've come up with a few tips for getting at least a halfway decent meal out of one, while skimping on the wallet hurt. 

1.  Best of the Worst:  Despite what the hippies might tell you not all fast food is the same.  Just like any food there are levels of quality and goodness.  Places like Quizzno's, while no fine experience, are better then place like Taco Bell in terms of ingredients and taste.  Im not going to give you a list of my favorite fast food joints, but I will tell you my least favorite is White Castle (anyone who thinks this is ironic cause of a certain movie can go Fuck themselves), you have probably eaten enough fast food in your life to make your own list. 

2.  Do the Dollar Menu:  A lot of fast food places have fine institutions such as the dollar menu.  Thank God for the dollar menu, seriously wise use of the dollar menu can save you serious bank.  For example a 10 pc mcnugget meal is about $7.50, with chicken, medium soda and fries.  If your willing to cut back just a little bit, you can get 2, 4 pice chicken mcnugget snacks off the dollar menu, and a small fries off the dollar menu, all for 3 dollars (pull off the water trick from last volume to replace the soda).  You have saved 4 dollars in exchange for 2 less mcnuggets and a few less fries.
