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.

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.

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.
