Wow, I rarely crossover my Yelp reviews with my Grubgirl reviews, but…this one gets posted in both places. Why? Humongous (2-3 lbs) regular burritos with tons of pretty good carne asada in it, for how much? $4.20, folks.
And, these burritos include what other restaurants would consider “only good for Super Burritos”: lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes. Wow. Too bad there isn’t one closer to my ‘hood otherwise they’d be giving El Burrito Express some competition!

Ok, I’m impressed by the blogger who tried spending $30 (only) on food in one month. Hungry for a Month is the name and though I haven’t read every day, color me impressed that someone else actually considers the salt & pepper (and ketchup??) available for free. Well, as my mom would say, we’ve actually paid for it already since it’s all factored in to the price of our meals…

One way I save money is by buying my meat in bulk from Costco - I get access to fresh meat at a good value. I don’t have proof that the chicken is of better quality, but I buy the fresh chicken breasts (not the frozen ones, not the pre-marinated ones, not the pre-flavored frozen ones.) Then when I get home, I bag about 2-4 of them in Ziplocs and throw ‘em in the freezer for future use.
The other day I was watching a nifty show on The Food Network called “How to Boil Water.” Probably would have some good Grubgirl-approved recipe ideas. The recipe they showed was how to make chicken with arugula, tomatoes, and onions.
