Yes, the $1.50 hot dog is always good!
As for the chicken, we get one every time we're there. Day 1: Wife eats the legs and I get a generous breast serving. Day 2: Wife picks the bones clean and makes chicken taco. Day 3: Wife throws the bones in a pot and makes vegetable soup.
That's a lot of mileage out of a $5 ready-to-eat chicken.
