Cheapass Eating

If you're a huge tightwad cheapass cheapskate cheap-o pennypincher like myself, you'll only buy meals which are the absolute best value. Share your eating strategies which help you maintain a good buck in the bank for more important things; electronical things.

Here's what I do:

Frozen Food - Costs less, lasts longer. I can live off of a giant box of Eggos for at least a couple weeks. And damn, a 1000 ounce bag of tater tots (cheap Wal-Mart brand) for like $1.50. That'll last me awhile.

Tightwad Tuesdays - Take advantage of local promotions as much as possible. Know of a place that gives free or discounted donuts on a particular day / time of day? Go get some. Does your local supermarket discount some food in its bakery at the end of the day (and you don't mind eating stuff that's not perfectly fresh)? Get your ass down there. I personally am all over Taco Tuesdays like flies on shit. (Tacos 3/$1.00 at Del Taco.) I think Burger King has some kind of cheap burger day as well.

Eating Out - I used to go to Wendy's a lot, but then I realized that even $4 is too much for a meal, so I limit myself to Wendy's for special occasions only. For those times when I want to go out for good warm food, I'll grab a Large Pepperoni Pizza from Little Caesar's for $2.50 (after splitting cost with a friend). Fills me up like a bitch.

Wal-Mart Deli - Pizza Sticks: $0.50, 16(ish) oz popcorn chicken: $1.69, Potato Wedges: Infinity (approx.) for $1.00, BBQ Chicken: Yummy (but pricer). So yeah, Wal-Mart's Deli is the new Wendy's, except it only costs $1-2 to get you full.

Buy In Bulk - Sam's Club / Costco: Mooch off of someone who has a membership card so you don't have to buy one yourself, then go spend your whole paycheck on insanely large portions of food, which will last you at least until 2011.
