Life’s too short for bland meals, and with these hard times on the pocket book, one of America’s chain restaurants comes to the rescue.

Pepper in Some Flavor with Chili’s 10 entrées for under $7. Try any one of their 10 favorites, like the Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers. It’s a pretty good deal, but keep in mind that these are smaller portions. I had the chicken tacos last week and left still hungry. I mean, would 2 tacos really fill you up too?

Looking for a Chili’s? There’s one in Crystal City and one in Fairfax.
