Masters week is in full swing at Augusta National and while it’s a very special week where legacies can be made on the legendary course, it’s also a great time for patrons who make it to the tournament because of all the good food being sold at the concession stands. 

You know what’s even better than the food? The prices of the food. The Masters continues to keep them so ridiculously low. I’ve only been to Augusta National one time way back in 2013 but my dad still will randomly call me up and rave about how little we had to pay for the food. 

Just take a look at this year’s menu:

I'm going to have some fun here and rank my five favorite bargains on that menu: 

5. Pimento Cheese Sandwich, $1.50

When I went to Augusta I didn’t know what a pimento cheese sandwich entailed but I knew I needed to have at least one of them. I later learned it’s a few different cheeses and pimentos and some spices. Is it the best thing in the world? No, not really. But you’re at the Masters and need to have one and if you don’t like it you’re only out a $1.50. Not bad!

4. Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn, $1.50

I’ve never had Georgia pecan caramel popcorn but it sounds pretty darn good and it comes at a pretty darn good price. Sign me up. 

3. Chicken Biscuit Sandwich, $2.00

Chicken biscuit sandwiches are tremendous. The only bummer here is that they’re only available until 10 a.m. Life is unfair sometimes. But hey, there’s nothing stopping you from buying three chicken biscuit sandwiches for $6 bucks and kicking your day off right at Augusta National. 

2. Pork Bar-B-Que Sandwich, $3.00.

These sandwiches are the definition of delicious. They’re basically a pulled pork sandwich covered in sauce. While it’s a little more expensive than other sandwiches, it’s totally worth it, and it’s available all day. Get a few of them, take them down, and go sit on the grass somewhere and watch golf. It’s the best. 

1. Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich, $2.50.

I had one of these things back in 2013 and I still think about it at least four times a week. World-class ice cream sandwich. The sugary cookies are perfect, the peach ice cream is delicious, and the vibes while you make your way through it are ideal.
