Well, there may be some value. It gave me a good money saving idea.
Next time I go to a nice restaurant, if I want a cheeseburger I'm going
to carry a slice of cheese with me. I'll give it to the waitress when I
order and have them put it one a regular burger. It will save me at
least a buck.

Next money saving tip.
Order a glass of ice water. They never charge for water. Guzzle down
the water and pour in the bottle of soda you brought with you. Another
two bucks saved.

If I get another ten or so of these tips I'm going to attempt to seel it
to MSN for a click bait article.
