STOP! THINK!! Today and every day is the day to value a dollar! A well known West Des Moines Bar and Grill (and not the fanciest place but a good place! 😄) they charge $14 for a Long Island Iced Tea...... OR

You could come to Kelly's on any given day and get a Long Island for $8!

BUT ON THURSDAY THEY ARE ONLY $4 AMERICAN DOLLARS!

That's $4 for the drink and $10 for your gas tank!😉
or an ice cream cone!
