Best (Tasty) Things to do for under $5
May 8, 2008
The hot dog combo at IKEA is $2.50 for 2 hot dogs, chips and a drink (which means lingonberry drink or you don’t deserve to be in this store.) All of these things are delicious and you get all of them for $2.50. And if you’re hankering for some dessert, they have 2 cinnamon rolls for a dollar.
Some people may like the swedish meatballs and the trout or whatever they have upstairs, but downstairs is for genuine IKEA lovers who just want a hot dog and 5 extra dollars to spend on modern, plastic household items.
The second best part about this store is that it’s in Round Rock, an easy 30 minute drive (without traffic). The nearest store to my hometown is in Frisco and involves Dallas North Tollroad and most likely death and/or fines.
I don’t have an IKEA nearby; but, your comment about the drink brought a smile to my face.
Have a great weekend and God bless you!

I don’t even understand how the hot dogs are so good. And I don’t understand what lingonberry drink is but it’s amazing too.
With the current uncertainties with food prices there is a greater need for us to conserve and be increasingly economical about food consumption at home. We have become wasteful as consumers of food and have never really had a need to feel otherwise before this crisis started. Blaming the rampant consumerism of the supermarkets has now irrelevant in this discussion. The situation now is that if we don’t change our food habits this situation could easily escalate completely out of control. The responsibility is now on us all to change our food buying and food consuming habits.
Simple food saving tips are things we need to get used to and practice more regularly. Most of these are common sense and can be quite creative. You can find a list of free food saving tips at sites such as http://www.foodcrisis.co.uk amongst other similar sites as well.
We all need to contribute to a fairer and more food wise program for ourselves.
