Talking about food, its more important to always check the label. I mean, check the fastfood chain you are planning to do ur dinner.Hey – if you like cheap food, and live in or around Detroit, then go to Jimmy Johns. Jimmy Johns is running a promo where each customer can get a sub sandwich for $1. The offer is only good from 11 am to 3 pm, on Thursday, August 13th. Other than that, you're out of luck. Many restaurants, both local and national franchises, have been running promos involving either free or severely cheap food, as it stimulates business and gets people going out to restaurants again. It's a common recession tactic to boost revenue.
