You Don't Win Friends With $10 Salads

I’m on a new found campaign to get back in shape and save some money. Both of which have been an epic failure thus far. Instead of grabbing some overpriced garbage from the food court, I opted to bring a sack lunch to work today. I was all geared up to enjoy my stupid turkey sandwich when I realized that I had misplaced it. I’d lose my head if it weren’t securely fashioned to my torso through a complicated series or muscles, tendons, and bone. So, my only choice was to walk myself down to the very food court that I had hoped to avoid. I had already blown my plan to save money today, so I figured I may as well try and keep it healthy.

Most of my options don’t really fall under the umbrella of “healthy”. In fact, most would be considered garbage food. I opted to get a salad from Tossed, because I can order online and I don’t have to wait in line. I chose to make my own salad consisting of baby field greens, chicken, chopped tomatoes, black beans, tortilla chips, and citrus chipotle dressing.

The best part was it was only $10! Wait a minute… that’s not a good thing at all. In fact, that stinks! No salad is worth $10 unless its greens are comprised of dollar bills and it tastes like concentrated rainbows. The salad was delicious, but that’s no excuse for the price. If I'm gonna drop $10 on lunch I want some sort of buffet or at the very least a lackluster steak. The only thing that I “Tossed” was my interest in this establishment. I spent 6 minutes trying to think of a clever closing line and THAT was the best I could come up with. They can't all be gems, folks.
