Pauline EsguerraUpdated: Where To Find Daily Half-Priced and Discounted Food Deals In Dallas.
It’s that time of the year where you’ve probably spent way too much money on drinks and shows, and your wallets know it.
But, listen, if food seems like it’s gotten more expensive lately, well, that’s just because it has. In early 2017, the United Nations found that international food prices reached a two-year high with the costs being fueled by rising prices of wheat, meats and dairy products. So, no, you’re not crazy for thinking you’ve been spending more and more at the grocery store and when you find yourself double-guessing whether you can afford another night out.
Fortunately, if you’ve been a loyal Central Track reader, then you know that we always have you covered when it comes to finding the best food deals in the city. And not one to break with tradition, we’re back at it now, presenting you once again with our annual list of the best daily cheap eats in and around Dallas.
This year’s list includes a little bit for everybody’s diets, be it carnivorous, omnivorous or straight up vegan. So we got you covered, veggie fans.
And if you find any interesting deals that we may have missed or know of updates to the ones we already have, please contact us so we can let everyone know!
In the meantime, check out the infographic and then the list of detailed deals below. And most importantly: Eat well, friends. — Pauline Esguerra
