I was in Saline recently with Jeremy, on a day that involved a lot of schlepping here, there and everywhere. By late afternoon, we were in need of refreshment and sustenance. And so we stopped by today's Frugal Floozie Friday feature: My Favorite Cafe, on a side street in the quaint downtown area.
I just needed an iced tea, which was bright and cold and wonderful. Jeremy wanted a little something to eat, and it was difficult to resist the inexpensive Sandwich Special posted on the chalkboard. The Turkey Club was generously portioned, and served with both potato chips and a pickle. It would be a great deal to split, followed perhaps by a $2 single scoop of Michigan's own Guernsey Farms Dairy ice cream, but it was also a great lunch that didn't even exceed our frugal monetary limit when serving only one hungry person.There are so many treats at the cafe that meet our mandatory budget of $5 or less per person! Beautiful, tempting baked goods range in price from $3-3.75, and you can choose from chocolate or carrot cakes, lemon bars, tiramisu, cheesecake, and more. Quiche is available for $3.95 per slice, and an espresso sundae costs the same amount. Breakfast bagels are available anytime for $3 or less, and there is a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from beyond what's offered on the $5 menu; there are even kid-friendly grilled cheese and pb&j sandwiches for $3.50. Many coffee and tea drinks are available, as well as milkshakes; all of these cost less than $5, and many are even under $3.
So whether you come in for breakfast, for your caffeine fix, for a light lunch, for "coffice"-ing, to hang out with friends, or to satisfy your sweet tooth, My Favorite Cafe - which is bright, welcoming, and friendly - will definitely become one of your favorite places!

I love that you have not run out of frugal places to talk about. It just goes to show you that you can get something really good for an inexpensive price!
Mary, that looks like a charming place. Don't think I could pass up a $5 sandwich, would probably try the turkey reuben.
Yes, it does look like a charming place! And I don't know why I'm so attracted to cafes that have the menu written in chalk on a chalkboard. Must be from my Gr. 1-2 country school past. :-) Great post!
