This lifestyle tip might just be localized to the United States,
I don’t know.
But it’s a moderately dandy tip if I do have to say so myself,
For those who like to keep their eating under monetary control.
Now we all know, I’m a fan of fast food,
White Castle still rules,
But I frequent them all …
Especially Taco Bell after 2:00 am. 
Anyways,
Here in the States, many of the fast food chains have value menus or dollar menus,
Where they feature select items for a reduced price.
At McDonald’s,
The double cheeseburger is usually on the Value Menu for abour a buck ($1).
I usually order off the Value Menu,
Unfortunately,
On occassion I do get a craving for that …
“Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickle, onion on a sesame seed bun” wonder,
The Big Mac.
But it’s not on the value menu,
And runs regular price anywhere from $2.99 up.
So my friend Long Island shared with me this trick …
Order a double cheeseburger off the Value Menu “like a Big Mac“.
Specifically,
Order a double cheeseburger with lettuce, Big Mac sauce and no ketchup.
It’s basically a Big Mac without that pesky middle bun all for a buck.
You do miss out on the sesame seed buns,
But hey,
I can deal with that when I’m getting three Big Mac Lights for the price of one Big Mac.
It’s worked everywhere I’ve tried it and most McDonald’s I’ve been to have a button on their register already set up for it,
However,
I do still recommend specifically saying how you want it,
Because yesterday I ordered it “like a Big Mac“,
And they put ketchup on it anyways,
Which was gross.
Seriously gross.
Now,
All I have to do is figure out how to make a Filet o’ Fish Light and I’ll be golden …
Just like the arches !!!

LOL No kidding Bobbi !!! I knew it was going to be ugly this year, but it’s been much, much worse than I imagined. It’s painful to watch !!! I’ve had to start drinking just to watch the games … not that I didn’t drink before when watching games in The Big House !
“I’ll have posts this weekend. And that’s not a typical Amy-post promise.”
Ok. I’ll bite. How was in not typical?
LOL I know Yodette !!! It’s so totally typical … I nauseate myself !!! I will post though … even if it’s just mocking myself for not posting. I had nothing planned this weekend, which is why I sincerely said I would post, but then I had a couple of life emergencies which didn’t consume the whole weekend, but did enough such that I was exhausted and just feel asleep as soon as I got home.
Well look at it this way…it could be worse. You could be a Detroit Lions fan. Oh, sorry…you probably are a Lions fan!
C’mon, Bobbie, Amy’s a Tennessee Titans fan from way back. (As an Oilers fan, this is the one thing I don’t like about Amy!)
Wow JC !!! That’s an excellent piece of Amy-trivia you tossed out there … yes, it’s true … I’m a Tennessee Titan fan, though after a few beers, I usually pronounce Titans as Tittans … just because I think it’s funny !
C’mon JC … you kids have a replacement team now, so the T-states are kewl again, right? 
Bobbie … I do cheer for the LyDowns and watch them regularly … sadly enough I’m fairly certain this year that if my Wolverines played the Lions, one, if not both, would somehow end up with negative points. I’m seriously thinking I need to go back to school and get a degree from an SEC school so I can watch some real football !
Or, follow the Big-12. We know how to play football!
Ouch !!! lol Darn warm weather teams !!!

Amy’s been too busy to post for more than five months. Does the economy turning to crap mean that much more work for defense lawyers? Must be a growth industry.
Yodette and others, their was a break though on transsexualism and potential why it happens. Thought it was an interesting article.

Wait…is that…nope it was just a tumbleweed. Never mind.
Jennifer, you’ll have to wait until the full paper is published, but I suspect such a small study will be weak proof.
Yodette, I know you are right, it is a small blimp, but I just thought it was interesting, to say the least. Sometimes, it would be nice to have something that could help educate people, that it is not a choice, is all I am saying.
Can a blimp be small? Discuss….

In less than two weeks it will be six months since the last AmyNews post. Maybe Amy was boxed like number 3.
I’d settle for a Twitter update.
Maybe Amy’s been out campaigning.
For free beer and sliders? Yum!
The recent trend of readers to reply to very old threads reminds me. November 13 will the six months since the last Amy post.
Predictions from loyal reads whether Amy will post again before the 13th? Will she make her semi-annual post on the 13th? Will she wait until May 13 and make posting annual? Take a guess. When will Amy post again? I wonder what the prize should be for guessing correctly?
She’s going to upset the apple cart and post on the 12th. You betcha!
Magic 8 Ball says: … “Better not tell you now”.
Inscrutable.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Magic 8 Ball!
C’mon Amy! I’m counting on you!
I won’t let you down, girl !!!
Amy!!! so how have you been? i hope all is ok? i tried to call but…. anyways take care miss ya! HUGS
I’m getting nervous……
Amy, if you are ready for your semi-annual post, today would be the day.
I’m soooooooooo disappointed
The day’s not over yet. … There’s plenty of opportunity to be disappointed tomorrow.
The day’s not over … and I won’t disappoint !
133 comments (134 if you count this one) about not posting … kind of Seinfeldish … is this what you’d call AmyNews foreplay?
ahhhhhh…….sweet relief
Amy Lord knows i do not want to beat a dead horse (or eat one) but the big mac for a dollar can be up-sized using the double quater pounder with cheese!!!! for when you get really hungry …… have you tried it yet???? you know you want to! heheheh
