Cheap Eats for a Starving College Student?

Nathan's Famous Frankfurters Coupon!!!


.99 hotdogs!!!

j


PS. I think the FremontStreetExperience coupons--available on line--has a 2/1 for the shrimp coctail at GGate as well as 2/1s for Fremont and MSS buffets. MAkes a great price on the shrimp--it makes a nice lunch if you eat both by yourself--and neither of the buffets is expensive to start with, let along getting 2/1.

Trouble is these casinos charge $3.99 a frank so BOGO is still no bargin.

Aloha Specialties at the California downtown. Huge, filling rice bowls with beef or chicken for around $5.

make it yourself

If one goes this route, one can save a boatload of cash IF they are willing to go the extra mile and actually get their hands dirty. If not, well its to ones wallet to decide.



and we have a winner!!!! if you are actually living there, why go out for every meal and eat processed food three times a day? they have grocery stores in las Vegas too


Besides, you can make dinner for your special someone and they might be impressed with your cooking talents.

billryan - I think you missed the coupon - it isn't the BOGO - it is the .99/hotdog one.

Food for starving college students who have to stretch twenty bucks over a week:

1. Top Ramen
2. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
3. Loaf of cheap supermarket bread and:
a. package of bologna
b. jar of peanut butter (and jelly if you can afford it)
4. spaghetti and sauce (make enough for multiple servings)


By the way, I stopped eating cheap hot dogs when I found that pig's anus is ground up in the meat.
What part of town are you in OP?

Burger Kings here in Vegas are currently having BOGO free Whoppers and BOGO free Original chicken sandwiches, no coupon necessary.
After 9 years I have come to the conclusion that Smiths supermarkets have the best prices and sales out here of all the grocery stores.

Another great supermarket is Fresh and Easy.

Fresh and Easy, the prepared foods, breads, vegetables, meats, and everything else is 75% off the day before and the day it expires. I have found some awesome deals there. Filet Mignon for like $4 a lb, i'm all over that! All the stuff is still good and fresh, they just can't sell it after that date. The other day there was a bag of limes on the discount rack, I asked the guy why it was like .25 cents, he said believe it or not everything in our stores have dates on them even the fruits and vegetables and even though those limes will be good for a few weeks, we have to discount it, or when it expires we donate it to the food pantry. OK, 5-6 limes for .25 cents, that can't be beat.

If something is discounted it is usually in a certain section in the store. The clearance section. That should be your first stop when you walk in the store.

PRO TIP:
Many times I have gone to buy a package of steaks at F+E, looked through the regular refrigerated steaks area and found a package that was expiring that day or the next and hadn't been marked down yet, Just ask one of the workers and BAM they will reprice it at 75% off.

Let us know how you make out.
Most of the Fresh and Easy's have closed. All the ones that I used to frequent closed. I just checked their website they have 3 still open. All of them on the east side of town.
I live on the west side of town, Spring Valley area, I have not seen one F and E close up here.
