The average tax refund each year is around $2,800, according to the IRS. If you're looking for an epic way to spend that refund, here are five ideas on what you could buy for $2,800 at the Portillo's in Chicago at the corner of Clark and Ontario Streets (not including sales tax):
-
How about a series of date nights? Once a week, you and your sweetie could each order an Italian beef sandwich with sweet or hot peppers, a small fry, and a small Coke. You could do this weekly for two and a half years!
-
Do you have a lot of friends and family who don't live near a Portillo's? Ship 16 households an Italian Beef Party Package — enough Italian beef, bread, and peppers to feed 20 people at each house. You'd make 320 people extremely happy.
-
Treat yourself and 19 of your closest friends to one Portillo's Chicago-style hot dog per weekend — you'd be able to stretch your refund for nearly a year! By the end, each of you would have eaten nearly 100 slices of tomato, but we wouldn't dream of adding ketchup unless you requested it.
-
Cater a party for you and your 450 closest friends. Everyone would get a small Italian beef sandwich, a side of mostaccioli featuring our homemade sauce, and a small gourmet garden salad. You'd be a hero!
-
Have a sweet tooth? Would 900 pieces of our famous chocolate cake satisfy it? That's how many pieces of cake you could buy for $2,800. Perhaps you could share a few slices with your neighbors.
