As I drove to work this morning, I noticed a new sign over one of the city’s “gentleman’s club” and couldn’t help but notice a sign that read, “Dollar Steak Buffets Are Back” over the establishment.
It got me thinking if this is a good strategy to save money on lunch and I’m wondering if it will show up on those famous frugal blogs out there. Personally, I get my steak lunches the normal way: vendors; I’m noticing that there continues to be a serious drop in patrons at high end restaurants and I’ve seen a few shutter doors already.
I can only imagine that these clubs are suffering along with the restaurants, retail and other industries. Something has to be done be before we slip into a depression, this economic disaster is now feeding on itself exponentially and dollar buffets at the strip clubs are a sign of the times.

Years ago, my employer didn’t have any place for us to eat lunch. Every so often the men (and a few of the women) would meet at the “buffet” for lunch. For $12 including tip, we got a very nice lunch buffet with desert and a non-alchoholic drink. Was it frugal or just acting out?

Here in Houston they advertise ‘Free Buffets’ all the time yet from what I hear there is a 15-30 dollar cover charge so really it wouldn’t be with it.
I think the true question isn’t whether it is a good frugal strategy or not but whether it is safe and sanitary to even consider. Eating out at a strip club? seriously?

Possible because of morality issues with strip clubs, there is an instinctive knee-jerk reaction to think of them as dirty places (I feel it too), but logically I am sure their food has to meet the same standards of any other restaurant grading.
That being said, I don’t know that it would be GOOD at that price, but of course if you are getting a “free” or “dollar” buffet, then you are probably paying a cover charge to get into the establishment.
Anyway, if I were not married, I would probably try it as research.

Of course, as the adage goes “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”
