Don't be a Chicken

On my way home from spin class, I called Sassy to tell her I was coming home. She suggested I stop by KFC for some fried chicken to go with the yummy array of veggies she had planned for supper. (Don't you know I love having someone cook for us?) We debated back and forth about exactly what to get and decided we needed at least 1 breast, 2 legs and a large coleslaw. And no biscuits (yes, we really said that. We're both trying to get rid of a little extra weight; mine is thanks to LM.)

In general, I rarely frequent fast food restuarants, so I parked my car and headed inside just because I didn't want to hold up the line at the drive thru while I figured out the best deal. I saw that a 6 piece bucket of chicken was $8.99 and a large coleslaw was $2.99. That's what I want, I'm sure of it. I place my order and the cashier says, "You can get the meal with 3 biscuits for $11.79." Sign me up, it's cheaper that way and you're going to toss in a few biscuits?

As she is about to scan my card, the manager walks by and says, "You can get the 7 piece meal for $9.99." Same exact thing I originally ordered, plus 3 biscuits and another piece of chicken, for $2 cheaper. What in the world? No wonder we have an obesity epidemic in this country. They're practically giving away fattening food and charging less for it!

Oh but you know I'm going to have a biscuit with my supper. I might have 2.
