Half-price cheesburgers? Ways to fill your belly without emptying your wallet this week

Do it.

A lot of time and money will be spent this week preparing turkeys, hams, casseroles, and pies. If you are dreading spending all that money or are already tired of cooking and preparing dishes, you are in luck. You can get your fill of lunch or dinner or both a couple times this week while getting the most bang for your buck.

This just seems like fate. We were just discussing the merits of Sonic's cheeseburgers the other day. We uniformly decided that it is certainly one of the most underrated burgers in the country. Do you agree or disagree? You agree.

McRib: Succulent or Scandalous?

What if I told you a sandwich with all the right ingredients to succeed was not what it seemed on the inside?

Along with Monopoly at McDonald's, the return of the McRib has established a storied tradition at the Golden Arch's. As social media's popularity gained, so too did the McRib. There is even a McRib watch on Twitter (@McRibWatch) for it's loyal followers to keep track of sitings and gloat about how good it is. The McRib was living the high life; fame, fortune, perfectly coated in BBQ sauce...until one Tuesday, November morning in 2013...

The McRib made it's way back into the media spot light this week, but it was not because of yet another triumphant return to McDonald's lineup. With a revealing photo surfacing of a frozen, undressed patty, it seems as though the McRib has fallen into the grease trap of social media along with Brett Farve, Tiger Woods and Lamar Odom.



Questions have been swirling around all week about the photo's authenticity. And if it truly is a bunless McRib for all the world to see, what does that mean for the McRib image? Will people start questioning the authenticity of the McRib? Who knows, but like any modern day scandal it doesn't matter whether it's good publicity or bad publicity - it got people passionately talking about the McRib, which is a win for McDonald's in my book.
