Single and Lovin' It!

In honor of Independence Day, your neighborhood H-E-B has a real sweet deal on a prime bachelor meal.

First grab yourself a Night Hawk frozen dinner for $1.58. I'm partial to the Beef Patty 'n Gravy meal, which consists of a charbroiled beef patty, potato rounds (guess someone copyrighted tater tots) and sweet corn with sauce. Then pick up an in-store coupon and get one pint of H-E-B Creamy Creations ice cream for absolutely nothing! Night Hawk dinners are made right down the road in Buda, and they're loved by starch-happy playboys throughout the American South. There's even a tribute page!

If by chance you've got a hot Fourth of July date, buy two Night Hawks and two Creamy Creations (chocolate for your lady friend, of course) along with a quart of beer to split. If H-E-B says you can only use one coupon, try going through another checkout lane. But don't tell your date you used a coupon or she'll think you're a cheap bastard.
