8/17 – Potbelly and Empanadas I have friends in high places. When I say that, I mean my best friend Zack works at Potbelly corporate and occasionally bestows free sandwich cards on me. I used one today and always enjoy the jealous looks I get… Anyways, I decided that Potbelly wasn’t enough and headed over… Continue reading CheapWeek: Beer on Beer on Beer

CheapWeek: Returning From Hiatus!
I’ve been lazy. I’ll admit it. I totally missed my CheapWeek update for the week of Lollapalooza – but can you blame me? I was partying from Friday – Sunday, then needed a day or two to recover. Then I had a week of work events and familial obligations immediately after. Whew! I’ve been busy. And… Continue reading CheapWeek: Returning From Hiatus!

CheapWeek: New Opportunities
This week was characterized by big news and awesome new opportunities. 6/15: Blackhawks Win! Today was a big day for Chicago sports fans. The Chicago Blackhawks won for the first time at home since 1938 (according to a sports-loving friend. Don’t quote me on that). Needless to say, everyone was excited. I kept it pretty… Continue reading CheapWeek: New Opportunities
