Recently while trying to make more time in my life I decided to find time to get things done during lunch. I also decided to try and mix savings in.
Another quick lunch idea for my busy day, really on the upper end of inexpensive lunches.
IDEA: About $5.50 – Taco Bell $5
I grabbed one of these today, the Cheesy Gordita $5 Box (aka Cheesy Gordita Crunch Box): and it was great, and just a little less expensive than their regular meals. Comes with a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, a Burrito Supreme®, soft or crunchy Taco, Cinnamon Twists and a medium drink.

Quick, Inexpensive Lunch Ideas
Recently while trying to make more time in my life I decided to find time to get things done during lunch. I also decided to try and mix savings in, and thanks to a friend at work (Bill Cool) I now have not one idea, but 2.
IDEA 1: About $3.00 + a Drink – Hormel Compleats
Add a canned or bottled drink brought from home plus some microwave time and you can have a decent lunch (nothing huge) for a total of about $3.00, especially if you buy off-brand name drinks.
$2.50 Hormel Compleats
$0.50 Drink
IDEA 2: About $2.50 – Taco Bell
Run by your local Taco Bell and grab 2 items off of the “Why Pay More” menu, or choose one of their “2 Dollar Meal Deals“. Oh, and if you are easily entertained (like me) you can roll your mouse over the Taco Bell bell at the upper left of the website and hear the bell ring (that’s free).
Prices vary on choices.

Wonderblog Gets New Theme
Well, it was time for a new theme, so I’ve switched to a newer theme with more features. Additional edits will appear in the coming weeks as I ‘tune’ the theme to my preferences and ‘rules’. Since this theme has some black navigation links (actually mid-to-ark gray) I’ll be fixing that probably first real quick.
I wonder why so many blogs these days, and even ever more often use black text for navigation? I learned “old school” some basics I stick to when I design sites myself, and using a different color for nav links and other text links is one of the basics and inviolable, IMO.
At any rate I’m very pleased with this theme, and we’ll see how it turns out over the next several weeks.

Whirlpool Water Heaters
Since I get so many visits from people searching for Whirlpool Water Heaters I thought it would be appropriate to add some useful info for those looking to fix problems with their water heaters.
- if you need to call for warranty service call the toll-free number on the water heater
- on a previous post, commenter Tom said “If you have a problem with this water heater call 1.877.817.6750“
- if you are considering buying/installing a Whirlpool water heater I’d suggest asking the opinion of a couple of plumbers in your area. For example, would you recommend whirlpool? would you buy one for your home? do you fix a lot of whirlpool water heaters?
