The $2 Lunch

Okay. So I decided to save some money on lunch today, and decided that a $2 budget should suffice. I hear you yelling “DOLLAR MENU!”, but if you include tax, this pushes you over the budget. And water is free, but screw water. So I decided to go to the local Handimart. A 32 oz drink was 89 cents. Then I found the DOLLAR SANDWICH section. The only two worth trying were the ham sandwich, which ended up being empty, and the pizza burger because the other ones looked like someone had already eaten them and put them back.

I heated up the sandwich and brought it up to the counter to pay my $1.98 including tax.

Cashier: $2.52
Me: I thought this was a dollar sandwich.
Cashier: It rings up as $1.51, and doesn’t say “dollar” on it. You total is $2.52.
Me: I need more pennies. I’ll be right back.

So I payed the rest of my bill and ate my lunch. Therefore, I submit that a $2 meal is virtually impossible unless you trick a friend into buying you food. Or if you like dirt. Cause dirt is free. And tastes like pizza burgers.
