Costco recession special, ie, hotdog and soda with sauerkraut $1.50. Puts one in the happy place for afternoon coding.

Even better if I bike to/from but the greenway isn't ready yet so it can get real muddy.

Costco lost my business ever since they discontinued the (apparently Chicago area-only) $1.50 bratwursts. I know the hotdogs are technically probably as good a deal in terms of protein and calories, but they are a mere shadow of what once was...

Well, you can get a whole package of bratwurst for maybe 3 dollars, so there's that.

...then I'd have to actually buy a membership (you can get in to the cafe without one). So I guess they never really had my business :p

Always interesting to find 'local-only' chain things. For what it's worth, I think the brats are at the Milwaukee and Green Bay Costcos as well.
