So my co-workers like to eat on the cheap. Each day they come by my cube around noon, that’s when I instantly ask, “Where are you going?”. Typically, it’s some Asian fast food place where you can get a large bowl or plate of rice with some sort of cooked meat and sauce thrown on it for about $4. The key here is not to ask what the meat actually is.

Anyway, today the answer was Fry’s. Well if you aren’t in the know, Fry’s is an electronic store. It use to be a grocery store back in the day, but now it caters to the uber-computer geek. You can go in pick up a huge bag of candy, a new OEM hard drive wwithout packaging, and a Playboy on your way out to the check out line. Since I had to pick up some blank CD-Rs today, I though what the heck and went along.

I chose a roast beef sandwich which was fine, but I was expecting a good deal. I don’t consider $5 exactly a deal, especially since I use to get a superb half sandwich and chips at Mr. Pickles for under $5. Long story short, don’t go to an electronic store for lunch!
