Whether you've recently been laid off or have always been cheap, getting stuffed or wasted for a handful of Washingtons is deeply satisfying--we know because we've tracked down the best dollar deals in San Francisco. Your $1 won't get you anything but dirty looks if you don't know where to go, but we will spare you that embarrassment with our suggestions for the best $1 deals in the city, and while we were at it, the better $2 bargains too--you know, for when you really want to make it rain. Happy buck hunting!
