The Perks of a Down Economy

Everywhere you turn, you hear something about how bad the economy is. While that may or may not be true (that's for another day), I have found something great about it.

Actually, The Cincinnati Reds have done something great, reinstituting their "Value Menu" at Reds' Games this season. It is the 1st $1 menu since 2007.

The Reds have made the decision to sell $5 singlel game tickets, too. They'll sell $5 tickets in two separate sections, and the value menu is posted below:

$1 Menu Items – Only sold @ 2 concession stands
Hot Dogs
12 oz Cokes
Peanuts
Ice Cream Cup
Redlegs French Chew Taffy

Additional value Menu Items:
$5 14 oz beers (sold at all beer stands except club & suite levels)
$7 adult value meal (regular hot dog, 16 oz. Coca-cola soda & small chips / snack)
$5 kids value meal (kids hot dog, small Coca-cola soda, snack & baseball card)

And apparently, they’re going to have a “Wulfeck Special”, for an even $20. That includes 2 Adult Value Meals, 1 Kids Value Meal & a 20 oz. beer.

Who else is ready for some summer nights at the Ballpark, eating $1 hot dogs & drinkin beer?

  1. About the Wulfeck special, I actually read different. On the Reds official website, instead of 1 kid value menu, it just listed 1 kid (choice of sesame bun or a wrap). So which is it?

  4. Well, what do you expect when you order "French" anything? Of course that'll be a rip off.
