Top Ten: Off-Campus Eating for Cheapskates

Ok, so we all know that there's nothing new to discover on Main Street. But with Foco as the only dinner option, what to do when the entrees costing you $7.95?
Let's be real, with an off-campus meal plan, DBA is basically just real money. Why waste money that could be spent in so many other fun summery ways? Here are the top ten ways to eat off-campus for less than DDS: 1.Pray it's Wednesday. Then immediately buy a pizza from EBAs. ($5.50) 2. An avocado roll AND a tuna roll at Yama. ($7.25) 3. Big Boloco burrito. ($6.25)4. Chicken Lo Mein from The Orient ($7.25)5. Get treated to a meal at Murphy's with last weekend's hook-up (free, but also generally impossible). 6. Start monitoring the free food bulletin, then browse for the food you're in the mood for (if you're a true cheapskate or bargain hunter, you should be doing this already).7. Smell out the closest barbecue 8. Get two orders of Samosas at Jewel of India. Not quite dinner, but so delicous you won't notice the hunger pangs. ($6.90) 9. French onion soup at Molly's ($5.50) 10. Wait 'til family weekend.
