Show !MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1000 Most students make mQst of food budgets BY JANE CLARK JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Just because one is a poor college student doesn't mean he or she has to eat like one. The majority of 40 SUU students who responded to a 'Journal' survey indicated they have learned to make the most of their food budgets. Sometimes, they said, they even eat like kings. "Look for the sales,· said Sheri Decker, a junior elementary education major from St. · George. "There are always good deals on food. Sometimes you just have to look for them." Of the students surveyed, 30 percent said they eat out daily, while 93 percent said they eat out at least twice a week. 18 percent said they never eat at home, but rely on either the SUU cafeteria or restaurants-or both. Some of the most popular cheap food deals include McDonald's and Burger King meal deals, Hogi Yogi sandwiches and smoothies, Wendy's value menu, Pizza Factory lunch specials and Arctic Circle ice cream cones. "Wendy's is pretty cheap if you go for the Super Value Menu,· Decker said. A variety of items-from chili to burgers-are available for $1 each, she said. ·1really like the Pizza Factory PAGE UNIVERSITY JOURNAL CAMPUS NEWS because the food is great and the prices· are reasonable,· said Brooke Bagley, a senior elementary education major from Greenwich, Utah. "Taco Bell is cheap, yet it tastes scrumptious,· said Carrie DeCarlo, a freshman elementary education major from Brookfield, Ill. McDonald's offers a burger and fries combination for $2, she added. Several students said they prefer the Thunderbird Circle, Hogi Yogi and the T-Bird Grill, all located in the Sharwan Smith Center, not only because they are convenient, but also because the food is good. For students who don't want to eat out, there are alternatives. Pete Best, a freshman with an undeclared major from Ocean City, Md., said he likes to eat at honie as much as he can because eating out can be expensive. Best and other students, such as Pat Green, a junior biology major from Salt Lake City, pointed out that good values are available at three Cedar City grocery stores: Albertson's, Lin's and Smith's. No matter how they choose to eat, most of the students who responded to the survey agreed that money can be saved by watching the ads in the newspaper, using coupons and buying food in bulk when the price is good. sI Gourmet Cocoa, Coffee & Tea • Breakfast Pastries • Gourmet Sandwiches CJn honor of our one-year anniversary, we are giving away free finger pastri~s with any purchase all w~ek/ (Sept. 77-· 76) [)ID YOLJ I<-NOV\' ? :-;Tll!,J:\ I:,; .\l\\ '.\Y:-; l~l:T !~ '\, . 86 W.
