On a college tour, my son asked me what “meal plan” I chose when I was a student at Auburn (late 80’s). I had to laugh out loud.
My “meal plan” was whatever my broke arse could scrape together to afford.
Curious to know yours. Among those places on my “plan”…
$.99 Chicken Italian from PJ Findley’s on magnolia
Hartz Chicken buffet on Magnolia.
Mr. Gatti’s Pizza all-you-can-eat pizza and sketti on S. Gay St. across from the Del Taco
Del Taco $.50 tacos on Sundays.

Well since I wasn't a student there but while in college I dated a AU majorette I would have to say "kitty" was my meal play while in Auburn.

Guthrie’s
That was the place when I had money which wasn't as frequent as I would have liked. I was flying planes that took most of my spending money. Always had money for beer somehow though.
My senior year I was the night manager at Little Ceasars so I remember a lot of pizza nights.

I went to all of these regularly as well as Mike and Ed's BBQ.
Prolly the most common was the checkers just north of DT. Checkerburgers + chili dogs
Also spent all my dining money on Chic Fil A, Salsarita's and later panda express
the chinese buffet by the bookstore on S. college

The all-you-can-eat buffet at the Chinese joint that was in front of & adjacent to The Heart of Auburn Motel was MONEY.

If you went to Auburn since 2000, the only answer is Chick-fil-a.

Chickfila on the meal plan.
If you asked for it, dominoes would give you a large pepperoni pizza for $5, which was a steal.

I spent as much money as possible on alcohol
Didn’t do a meal plan after the first year. I went to Kroger most days looking for sale meat and typically combined it with pasta or rice and some sort of sauce. Split a lot of cici’s pizza
One Christmas someone got me a George Foreman so I did a TON of chicken breast from the 10lb bags at Walmart.
It fricking rocked

All those mentioned by Tailback and Taco Bell. Freshman year I almost lived off the turkey hoagies at the kitchen at CDV Ext.
Posted on 8/9/23 at 6:18 pm to TailbackU
I ate in the cafeteria. Meatloaf, Mac and cheese, and canned peaches were served often.

$6 Hungry Howie's pizza
Niffer's burger specials
Mike and Ed's pork sandwich with curly fries
Lots of Chick-fil-A from the student center
And lots of Panda Express at Foy
Anybody remember the Slider U food truck? Was legit

There was a pizza place (not there anymore) that had coupons for BOGO on large so yeah 2 larges would be two full days back then..I also got stuff on sale and made food that would last me many days.
I had to live cheap as I had to make my money on breaks to cover the entire year. Many double shifts during the breaks.
