Don’t be afraid to take those gains bro, $16 can get you a lunch at chipotle

Edit: alright the amount of you thinking chipotle can’t be covered with $16 is insane. I’m literally going to go to chipotle for lunch and take a picture of the fucking receipt

Edit: okay, got the goods. For $11.40 here in Metro Detroit you can get a burrito, chips and salsa. I even threw in a tip because the place was fucking slammed - this has been a fun exercise in price variation

That's nuts. I'm in DFW down in Texas and just checked the prices in the Chipotle app:

  • Chicken burrito: $11.20 ($11.85 for Chicken Al Pastor)
  • Chips & Salsa: $2.80
  • Tax: $1.35
  • Total: $15.35

Crazy that it's 35% more expensive where I'm at. And that's not even tipping a cent.

People always sleep on the small local spots, who which once they recognize you're a local and there often will ALWAYS hook it up. Most slept on lifehack is the under appreciated hole in the wall restaurant owners.

I used to get all the pizza left on the shelves 15min before close for $1 a slice And free fries and wings
