So, you enter through the double doors of the Blue and Grey cafe and you immediately spot the awesome reminder that you only have a mere $5.10 per swipe for lunch and dinner.
Well, let's look at the best "bang for your buck" - sensibly and cents-ibly!
To your right:
- Sandwiches. Obviously, you could make poor sandwich choices, but you're well informed by now - so don't. There are many options, and the prices are listed.
- Salads. We've discussed this...twice. Low fat dressing, no cheese, lots of veggies. The protein salad is $5, so you can't get a drink - or you can get a LARGE cup of water for $0.20 and put $0.10 on your dining dollars.
To your left:
- Donuts. No...
- Soda. No...
- Chips. No...
- Cookies. No...
- Ice cream. No...
- Pastries. No...
- Parfaits. No...
- Peanut butter and Jelly. No...
- Pizza. Do
- Fries. You
- Burgers. Get
- Strombolis. The
- Pasta. Picture?
Which side of the Blue and Grey should we stay on, friends?
Yes, coincidentally, the right side.
If you really need to go to the left side, then just be sensible.
Look for:
- Diet soda and water. It has no calories, and due to recent advances, diet soda tastes great! Also, you need to drink water! More more more more more. It's good for you. You'll pee a lot, but you'll look better.
- Yogurt. Make sure you look at the nutrition facts, first. Not all yogurt is good, but Greek yogurt is the best!
- Fruit Cups. The fruit is usually fresh. Refrain from drinking the fruit juice at the end - it's unnecessary and has unnecessary calories.
- Coffee. It has virtually no calories, and tastes great with a little no calorie sweetener.
- If you're the type that needs creamer, real sugar and some whipped cream - DON'T.
- Or, use skim milk as a creamer and slowly ween yourself off of these products.
- Soup. Once again, a low calorie snack and if you couple it with half of a sandwich - it's one of the "specials" that the Blue and Grey runs!
You only have $5.10, so you can't do too much damage (especially with the ridiculous prices).
Don't double swipe if you don't have to! Try and stay in the $5.10 range, and you'll be in for a delicious low calorie meal!
How have you figured out how to spend your $5.10 wisely?
XOXO,

FINALLY! Some sense is made of the B & G.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Especially how you logically split it up between left and right. But you're so right. I think the right side has more value too. I'd rather get fresh food than packaged.
And hey! The right side has less packaging. HOW ECO FRIENDLY!! :)
