REVIEW,
WWfM
Of course, I'm a little too good at
food bargain hunting, which explains
why I'm also trying to lose weight, but
that's another story.
Anyway here's a top 10 list of cheap
eats, or how to survive on a student's
budget in Lincoln. The list is not in any
particular order. They're all good.
1. First of all, the best bargains by far
are prepared in your apartment or
home. Since enrolling in college IVe
lived in a fraternity, the residence halls
and my own apartment, so I know the
best place to eat is at home with food
bought from the grocery store. IVe
eaten for a whole week on $10 worth of
groceries (beer not included). You can
make a tuna casserole for about $2 to
$3 that will last for several meals. Eggs,
or a pound of hamburger go a long way.
Just thought I'd throw that in there.
I doubt it will make the restaurant
owners happy.
However, you can't usually cook in
the residence halls and sometimes the
food might not appeal to those of us
who walk on two legs.
2. Valentino's buffet is a grest bar-
Cain. PrtP iiTwtifir IS nn ek rsifa asf
a saiaa bar and good service. It's all you
can eat and it fills you up. The buffet is
served 1 1 a,m. to 2 pjn. Monday through
Saturday, and from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday
and Sunday, Val's is especially popular
with the on-campus crowd because
meals aren't always served on Sundays.
3. Dinsdales, 1228 P St., offers a fine
all-you-can-eat luncheon buffet for
$3.99. It includes baked potatoes . . .
really.
4. I'm skipping fast food for the most
part. I'm just trying to offer some reas
onable opportunities for those times
when you get tired of eating fast food
six times a week. It took me three years
to get tired of it, so be patient with
yourself. Still, I will include all fast
food in number 4.
5. Rocky Eoccoco's offers coupons in
our humble publication. Currently still
good from this summer are their "buy
one get one free coupon," and the "any
slice for 99 cents coupon." The pizza is
filling, and with the coupons it goes
from reasonable to cheap. I'm a big
eater and am easily filled by two slices.
6. For the fancier pants among you,
let me suggest the Ming Palace lun-
7. If you like hot dogs, I recommend
W.C. Franks' Tuesday night special,
1320 Q St. For $2.60 you get all the
footlongs you can eat, a bag of chips
and a small drink. Plus you can get any
topping you want on all those footlongs
you can eat. This paper did a story on
this special last year. Our photographer,
Mark Davis, ate 10 footlongs. But he
threw up.
8. Spaghetti Works, 228 N. 12th St.,
is a great place to get filled up for a few
dollars. They have meals starting for as
little as $3.69, and you can keep getting
refills on all sauces. Also, the atmos
phere and food are excellent. It's a
great place to take a date if you are on a
tight budget.
9. For an inexpensive place to eat,
try Schusters' IGA Deli at 27th and
Holdrege streets. For $1.69 you can get
a three-piece chicken dinner, with
fries, a salad and roll. For under $2, it's
unbeatable. They also have other daily
specials for less money.
10 Taco Inn, 1245 R St., maybe
should have been included in fast food,
which means it would be in number 4
above, but I decided to add it here
anyway. People make jokes about the
place, but it is obviously popular on-
many of the places also offer top qual
ity appetite pleasers.
Cheap eating!
