Once again for Frugal Fridays, I was lured in by a sandwich board on the sidewalk advertising a too-good-to-be-true deal: $1.99 for a chicken bagel wrapper sandwich, at Noah's Bagels.
Once inside, I discovered I could upgrade that to a combo, adding chips and a drink, for just $3.99 - which, being still under the $5 after tax price point, seemed like an imperative.
It turns out you do get what you pay for, as the chicken bagel wrapper is fairly small, but actually surprisingly satisfying. It's a big chunk of white meat chicken, wrapped in bagel dough, and combined with either cheddar cheese, or swiss cheese & honey mustard. I went with the latter, while my office mate later got the cheddar and said mine smelled better.
He also noted that it might be a better use of your $5 to get two chicken bagel wrappers, and just drink water. Or you could always get one, and pick up some fruit to go with it, to make it a little more well rounded.
According to the signs, this is a limited time offer - though it's unclear how limited. So if you wanna check out the Noah's Bagels Chicken Bagel Wrapper - "What Bagels Do for Lunch" - do it soon.
(Frugal Fridays is a weekly series dedicated to finding Seattle lunch spots where you can walk in with a $5 bill and walk out with a fulfilling, preferably healthy, lunch. If you have suggestions of places in the Seattle area with a great lunch for under $5 after tax, post a comment - I'd love the help.)

I had that chicken bagel wrap and the chicken meat tasted really bad.
Glad yours was ok.
