Burrito

I saw and offer and I took it. Burrito for $7, that sounds like me. 50% off!
Unfortunately the limp chewy thing I was presented with didn't really live up to my expectations.

The sides didn't appear to come with the deal which was only corn and some guacamole, so i wasn't too fussed. The size of it however i was fussed about.
Something that is mostly made of beans and other stodgy food should fill you up to bursting point.
This wasn't! it was in a sweaty plastic box like you get takeaways in, and one end of the burrito was open to the elements, not sealed like you would expect, so it was only luke warm when i get it back to the office.
Did i mention its 26c outside, so thats some feat when its not even a 5 minutes walk away.

Normal price for this is $14, which i think is way too steep. Not going to eat there again.
Useful to try once, but i will stick with fish and chips if i want something cheap.

Until i find something better!

New World - New prices

Since I am not the kind of person to leave things alone, I decided to send an email across to the local supermarket and ask about them creating a meal deal.
Based on the manwiches they usually make, it seems a good idea to bundle a drink and some chippies in, like they do in good ol' England.

I got a response back from my email and it is being looked into and costed for this branch.
i reckon $5 is reasonable. My working were as follows:

Basic sandwich $3.5
Drink $1
Chocolate $1

Pretty much the way it always worked was the chippies or chocolate worked out to be free, so this is totally possible with the same margin being made. These are way better than your standard pre packaged sandwiches though, some some scaling back may occur.
