In case anyone was wondering when I would feature cheap eats at a simple restaurant, Dairy Queen offers a flurry of specials, too. The Sweet Deals value menu includes two items for $3, three for $4 or four items for $5. Choose from nine items. Participating DQs offer “happy hour” specials from 2 to 4 p.m. daily. Anything through a straw (Arctic Rush, MooLatte, soda, shakes or malts but not Blizzards) is half-price. If you want a Blizzard deal, ask for the Blizzard Free-quency card at participating restaurants. Buy three, get one free. Find out which restaurants are participating at Fourteen Foods. See? I’m not always writing about Murrays or McCormick & Schmick.
