Grand Theft Auto IV made me poor. Let's go to Taco Bell.

This week's blog isn't very cool. Sorry. I can't afford to go try some new fancy schmancy restaurant this week, and here's why: I ordered Grand Theft Auto IV and a new pair of shoes (they're velcro!) within a week. Now rent and bills are due soon, so I have to really ration myself when it comes to spending. I could write about something I made at home, but most of the things I make either A) come out of a box or B) have already been written about in this blog (aka grilling). Luckily, something exciting has happened recently at Taco Bell.

The Bacon Club Chalupa is back, but only for a limited time. For those of you who have tried it, it's ok to shed a tear. For those of you who have not, stop wasting your life. It's delicious.

It's pretty much your standard chicken chalupa: lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and chicken. But then they throw a bunch of bacon in the mix along with a tasty sauce. Chicken, bacon, "tangy club sauce", other stuff. Awesome. The only problem is, it costs about $2.50, and in my eyes, that's pricey for T Bell.

Now for the best part. In honor of the Bacon Club Chalupa, Taco Bell has created the Big Bell Box Meal. Here's what you get for $5.00:
- 1 Bacon Club Chalupa
- 1 Crunchy Taco
- 1 Bean and Rice Burrito
- 1 order of Cinnamon Twists
- 1 large drink

The only problem is, the whole thing adds up to be about 1,150 calories plus the drink. A lot, I know, but what did you expect?

I know some people might be able to eat all of this in one sitting. I know I wouldn't, and that makes this an even better deal. Two meals for $5.00!

If you're on a budget and you don't feel like cooking or going to grocery shopping, go to Taco Bell for a couple of cheap meals. But you need to hurry! When the Bacon Club Chalupa disappears, so might this delicious deal.
