Challenge Day 20- McCormick & Schmick's

For Challenge Day 19, I was able to partake in one of the best hidden secrets of living life cheap and free. Some friends and I went to McCormick & Schmick's for drinks and appetizers. They have unbelievable happy hour specials! 

I had $1.95 hummus. Yep, $1.95! And, it was a large portion too, large enough to make it my dinner. Hummus isn't your thing? How about a Half Pound Cheeseburger with fries or a Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries for $1.95. Is that more your idea of a meal? There are also $3.95 and $4.95 appetizers, but for those prices you are getting amazing things like an Ahi Tempura Roll. Just try to find those prices for sushi anywhere else. And, you know it's good quality fish. It's McCormick & Schmick's, a great seafood restaurant. 
Now, how about those drink specials? I chose a $2.75 Coors Light Draft. Yes, more expensive than my usual Coors Lights, but, really, the $1.95 Hummus evened that out for sure! If you're in the mood for something a little more on the classy side, for $5, you can choose Sangria, wine or classier bottled beer.

If you're free on a Tuesday, there is more great stuff going on than just the appetizer and drink specials. They also have a lobster special. Yes, lobster! For $11.95, you can get a steamed 1 lb. lobster w/ cole slaw and drawn butter. Also, if you sit out on the patio on a Tuesday, they have free live music.

And you thought you couldn't afford to go to McCormick & Schmick's...
