I picked one up about 3 months ago and the burrito was barely half the size it used to be. The chips were all broken dust too. Has anyone else noticed the portions shrink on those boxes or am I just getting unlucky at the one near me?
I paid $8.50 for a footlong sub here in Nashville last week and it was basically a bread sandwich with a whisper of meat. The menu says $5 but that's only for two specific subs now, and they never have the ingredients ready anyway. Anyone else notice the portions getting stingier too?
I was grabbing snacks at a Shell station near my hotel in Portland and saw this little cooler full of sushi rolls for $5.99. I figured it was gonna taste like rubber and cold rice but I was starving and cheap so I grabbed a spicy tuna one. Honestly it was fresh, the nori was still crispy, and the rice wasn't dry at all. Now I'm wondering if I just got lucky or if gas station sushi is actually a hidden gem sometimes. Has anyone else found a decent roll at a random station?
Used to grab one every Friday after a job site in Bakersfield, but when I added up the cost for something that's half lettuce and a flimsy shell, I realized I was paying $5 for air. Switched to the bean burrito instead - it's $2, actually fills me up, and doesn't fall apart on me. Am I the only one who thinks the crunchwrap is overhyped?
So I'm always trying to stretch my lunch money at the Taco Bell near my job in Phoenix. The bean burrito is already like $2 and some change, but I got tired of it being kinda dry and plain. Last week I asked them to add red sauce on the inside and grill it, no extra charge for those. Then I added a side of their creamy jalapeno sauce for 50 cents. Drizzled that on top after I opened it up. It totally changed the whole thing, made it taste like a fancy burrito from a restaurant. I've done it three times now and it's consistently good. Anyone else got a cheap add-on that upgrades a basic menu item?
I was bored last Tuesday and counted how many mini tacos you get for $5 at three different spots. 7-11 gave me 9. The Shell station gave me 7. And the random bodega on 4th street only gave me 5 but they were bigger. Anyone else do dumb math like this or am I just broke?
I grabbed a pair of gas station tacos from a place called Quickstop in Phoenix for $3.50 last Tuesday after my regular lunch spot was closed. Honestly, they were decent - way better than the $6.50 Taco Bell box I usually get, but I had the runs by 3pm. So the question is: do you risk the cheap thrill for less money, or stick with the slightly more expensive chain that's safer? Has anyone else gambled on a gas station hot case and won?
