My sad food budget: got a 24-pack of reduced-fat turkey hot dogs for $2. yeah, that’s 8.3 cents per hot dog. And that’s normal price, they weren’t marked down because they were about to go funny or anything.
Grill them in the toaster oven — I turn the temp all the way up to 500 and turn the timer to the max — because it’s too hot to grill outside and it also resembles effort. Put a strip of bell pepper and onion in for each dog as well, cut to the length of the dog. About 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the timer, add hot dog buns to toast (whole wheat ones if you can get them, or good sandwich rolls), opened up so they get nice and warm on the inside. While all that’s happening, slice some tomato into thin wedges and hit them with some celery salt. Slice some pepperocinis and dab them with a paper towel. Spread some horseradish or hot mustard on the bun, add the hot dog, onion, bell pepper, pepperocini and tomato. Yeah, baby. That’s being a champagne foodie on a beer budget.
