Times are tight, it's obvious. People are having to cut back everywhere, and that includes eating out.
I know I've recently started to bring my lunch more often to help cut back on expenses. But there are some days when you just open the fridge or the cupboard and nothing looks good. Or you end up pressed for time in the morning. Or you got half way to work and realized that your lunch is still sitting on the counter at home.
For those days, I offer you my top four favorite places to eat in
Crawfordsville for under ten bucks. Some may even be under five if you don't have a big appetite like I do.
1. Stacy's College Street Deli - Located on East College Street, Stacy's College Street Deli has awesome deli sandwiches. A few of my favorites are the Turkey
Panini, Ruben and the Little Giant. Yum! These sandwiches are sure to fill you up, but if you're looking for a little something extra, make it a "boat" for $2.50 extra. This will include your choice of sandwich, a side of homemade salad, a bag of chips, a pickle spear and a 16 oz. fountain drink. Dine in or carry out is available.
2. China Inn - If your in the mood for Chinese food, consider the China Inn on Green Street. Lunch is served from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M. Most of their lunch menu is priced at under five dollars and includes your choice of rice and your choice of egg roll or crab
rangoon. No drink is included in that, so that will probably take the price up over five dollars depending on what you get. They have dine in or carry out.
3. Subway - Subway restaurants nationwide have really turned into a bargain since they introduced their five dollar foot long menu. If you don't think you can finish a foot long, go with a six inch.
Crawfordsville has three Subway locations - 231 South,
Darlington Avenue and the truck stop located off I74 exit 39. Menu choices can be seen on their website at subway.com.
4. Arthur's - Located on East Main Street, Arthur's has quite a selection of lunches for under ten dollars. Most of the menu leans towards deli-type selections, but they are definitely not limited to that. I can personally vouch for their chicken salad and Wisconsin Cheese soup...delicious! Choose your entree wisely and you may still have room in your wallet for dessert.
In addition to these great places, you also have a selection of fast food restaurants such as McDonald's, Taco Bell, Long John Silvers, etc.
Treating yourself to a lunch out every once in awhile doesn't have to cut deep into your wallet...just choose wisely.
