Ain't many better ways to spend $1.99


I don't shop at Food Lion very often. Indeed, I prefer to shop at Publix and my Favorite Grocery Store. Yesterday, however, I stopped at Food Lion 'cause A) I needed some throw-away plate's for my last night's pickin' party, and B)I pass a Food Lion on my way home from work.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Food Lion had Sabrett's hot dogs on sale for $1.99. Man, them things usually sell for upwards of four bucks in some grocery stores. I grabbed three packs (hey, I ain't afraid to freeze hot dogs for later eatin'), some buns, and a can of Patterson's fine Southern-made hot dog chili, which I didn't know you could buy at Food Lion.

I grilled a couple of Sabrett's tonight, grilled 'em until the outsides had a nice char on 'em. The first one I ate with some Gundelsheim kraut (which I'll tell you about sometime in the near future) ...


I ate the second dog with a healthy helping of Patterson's chili and yellow mustard. What a fine dinner, indeed. (Check the AMGE archives to find out if Sabrett's hot dogs are my favorite store-bought hot dogs ...)

Dear God, you are way poorer than i thought.

The lower classes have always had to swallow swill for dinner, but only today do they go online and proudly blog about their cheap, disgusting victuals.

So, what does that have to do with Sabrett hog dogs ...?!
