Hate Paying To Have Your Car Washed? $10 Car Wash FREE!

Ok, so a FREE car wash is off the subject of "economic eating" but when you save $10 or in my family's case $30 (we have three cars) you can buy a pretty good dinner out with the money you save.

This weekend and next weekend if you drive to 44th Street and Mc Dowell Road that's 1702 N. 44th Street CleanFreak Carwash is having it's grand opening and giving a FREE Carwash, Turtle Wax, and Vacuming. They even give you a little wet paper towel to wipe down the dash.

The drive alone through the automated car wash felt like "Autopia" at Disneyland:)

Economic Eats For These Troubled Economic Times

So "Restaurant Girl" drove thru Mc Donalds to order a Sausage Biscuit on their $1.00 menu.

I made homemade gravy like this:

Put 2 Tablespoons of (saved) bacon grease in a pan...
added 2 Tablespoons of unbleached flour... (browned it)...
added milk, salt & pepper to taste.

Cooked an over easy egg.(Trader Joe's always has eggs for $1.49 a dozen.)

We enjoyed buscuits & gravy, sausage patty and an egg for $1.13. My husband loves my economic country cookin:)

Olive Garden Spagetti Dinner For $3.95 Feeds 4

I should have called this Blog "Restaurant Girl" since I LOVE eating out, but that's already taken:( My father owned a Chinese restaurant in Washington D.C. he was the cook and my mother was the waitress). I remember eating all our meals there, I thought everyone did that. I guess that's why I love restaurants so much it feels like home.

This is my best "economic eating" secrets for eating out Shh... I love The Olive Garden's spagetti with meat sauce.

I order 1 pint of meat sauce with NO NOODLES... take-out which costs only $3.95. (Sometimes they even throw in FREE breadsticks.) I go to the 99 cent store & buy a bag of spinach or Sprouts if they're out. And get a couple of zuchinni which I slice in long thin strips (just like spagetti only no bad carbs;)

At home I cook some spagetti noodles, steam the spinach, and saute the zuchinni strips in a teaspoon of butter covered.

*Left over hamburger buns or hotdog buns (which I throw in the freezer)can be spread w/butter & sprinkle garlic powder on and toast in oven broiler.

Make a delicious salad, serve the spagetti sauce over spagetti noodles, topped with zuchinni, & spinach and it's just like eating @ The Olive Garden!

Feeds a family of four for only $3.95 that's "Italian Economic Eating"!

Any ideas of how your stretch your food dollar$$$?

Costco "Party Central" of Economic Eating

Is it just ME... or does anyone else think Costco is the "Party Central" when it comes to economic eating... horsdevours and appetizers (FREE Samples)?

When I go to my "Costo Party" I pretend I've had gastric bypass and can only eat the tinyest of bites. Yesterday it was 12:00 and I was STARVING and needed strength to do my grocery shopping. First I was treated to 1/4 slice of bagel with cream cheese & salmon, next hot chicken soup with veggies, then visited the silver dollar pancake stand... followed by a lipsmacking hot wing. Oops... I almost forgot the orange chicken/brocolli rice cup, and my dessert? Organic almonds and cranberries. Costco has offered a variety of appetizers/horsdevores delicacies like Duck with wild rice, Roast Beef, mini Quiche, Pumpkin Pie and Kirkland mocha lattes mmm:)

Still hungry? You can fill up on all-beef Polish Sausage with saurkraut, onions, relish & mustard and bottomless Coke for $1.50!

Done any economic eating? Want to share the wealth? We'd love to hear from you!

Maizie's Cafe & Bistro Home of the Monday $3.00 Charbroiled Angus Hamburger

My name is Vicky Taylor and I am a cheapskate who loves eating economically... BUT it has to be DELICIOUS. I don't know how I got this way, but I get great pleasure saving money on meals especially when they're cheap, I mean inexpensive. Everytime I find a new restaurant deal I want to share it with others so they can save and have the amazing experience I've enjoyed, especially in these economic hard times. So here's my newest find...

Mazie's Cafe & Bistro (Central Avenue just south of Camelback)
4750 North Central Avenue
Phoenix, Arizona
Monday 4:00 PM - $3.00 Charbroiled Angus Hamburgers (Mouth-watering!) (Fries Included)

So my 27 year old daughter Emily told me "She had just eaten this delicious hamburger, the best one she had ever tasted" at Mazie's on Central & Camelback "and you'd like it Mom cause it was only $3.00." I had my doubts because Emily has what I consider weird tastes, her favorite foods are Sushi, Boba Drinks, Pho Tai Soup, and Chai Tea Lattes. But the thought of a $3.00 Angus Burger got my attention. Chuck (My husband ) and I headed to Maizie's promptly at 4:00 pm to avoid the crowds.(The decor reminded me of Postino's.)

We ordered the charbroiled Bistro burger with lettuce, tomatoe, red onion, mayonaise, & a dill pickle spear, served on a toasted very light chabata roll for $3.00 PLUS it came with fries. Our $3.00 charbroiled burgers were mouthwatering, delectible, cooked med-well to perfection. Truly a cheapskates economic eating find. Can't wait til next Monday at 4:00 pm, maybe I'll see you there!

Let me know any "economic eating" finds you have.
