I4—The Daily Collegian Wednesday Oct. 15, 1980 Deli diets for the game As football season gains momentum, delicatessen items become an increas ingly important part of the diet of any loyal tailgater-football fan. In the mad Saturday-morning rush to pack or purchase enough sandwiches, salads, snacks and beverages to last through a long afternoon in Beaver Stadium,people like me throw weekday priceconservatism to the wind. And, unfortunately, the problem is compounded because deli items don't lend themselves easily to price com parisons. Each store offers its own delicatessen menu, and since so many stores offer prepackaged deli items as well as cold cuts in their own deli depart ments, the shopper in a hurry is bound to get confused. The prices you can expect to pay for cold cuts or take-out sandwiches vary considerably from place to place, but generally, delicatessens connected with restaurants charge the most. The price markups of these foods may, in the consumer's view, be justified by the restaurant's reputation. Items like potato salad, which the restaurant prepares according to its own recipe, may be worth the extra price. But cold cuts like all-beef bologna contain iden tical or very similar ingredients, and you may be paying a markup price for the same brand you'd get at a supermarket. Strangely enough, prepackaged cold cuts sold at supermarkets sometimes cost more per pound than the same items ordered at the supermarket's deli department. For example, Oscar Mayer all-beef bologna costs $2.98 per one-pound package at A & P, yet all-beef bologna costs $2.38 per pound at A & P's in-store deli. Be careful you don't pay more per pound for an item by purchasing it in a larger quantity, though; at IGA, a one pound package of Kraft natural Swiss cheese slices will cost you $ . 2.79, while GET YOUR HOMECOMING SOUVENIR "Crush the Orange" Lollipops at Kern Cafeteria, Findlay, Pollock, Waring, Warnock Snack Bars - ONLY 30° Crowds may be fun at football games, but not when you're shopping.

IRV 2.34=0155 3 two eight-ounce packagescost $2.38. By buying the smaller packages, you can save 41 cents. Deli sandwich and hoagie prices de pend, in part, on the size and contents of the sandwich. You should expect to get a larger, meatier Italian hoagie for $2.00 than you'd get somewhere else for $l.OO. Generally-speaking, if you can't easily see a difference in quantity or quality between two differently-priced sand wiches, it pays to purchase the cheaper one. Buying the least expensive deli foods may be a commendable source of relief to your inflation-squeezed budget, but experience leads me to warn you of some hazards associated with a one-sided ap proach to delicatessen-food shopping. The most obvious problem is that you can't save money on something you have to throw away. For example, if, on arriving at Beaver Stadium for a pre-game tailgate, you find you can't stand the taste of the bargain-priced cole slaw you just bought, you have the two unenviable op tions of going hungry all afternoon or of eating your cole slaw, only to find out later just how unpalatable it was. To avoid this kind of dilemma, you can do several things. First, since most stores display their deli items in a glass case, by all means look at the foods you have in mind before ordering them. If the roast beef seems too rare or the potato salad looks like a new variety of Alpo dog food, you may want to alter your meal plans slightly. Some stores may give you a small taste of the food you're uncertain about, but if you whip out your own plate and ask for a small serving of 12 different items, they're likely to become suspicious. You'll be surprised to discover just how much the appearance of a food item can affect your appetite for it, even if the food tastes fine. If an inexpensive prepackaged hoagie looks like it's been run over by a truck, this may or may not affect your decision to buy it. And, if you regularly make Mack truck sandwiches in the privacy of your kitchen, a bargain like this may be hard to pass up. However, those of us who are less adventurous will probably prefer a neater, more palatable sandwich. A better way to save money on football game days is to purchase your own salad ingredients, such as canned tuna fish, ahead of time, and make your own tuna salad sandwiches. Al Aire, Tuna fish costs about $l.OO per six ounce can, so you can combine several cans of it with celery and mayonnaise, and avoid paying the inflated price of deli-prepared tuna salad. If you're a last-minute picnicker, at least try to avoid buying your sandwich bread in a delicatessen;, one place I checked that's not near a grocery store charges $1.25 for a loaf of bread to go. Stores do have the prerogative of charging high prices in exchange for conveniences provided, but with a little practice, you can learn to avoid these ex tra costs. If you can think ahead even one day, you'll be able to plan, shop for and more thoroughly enjoy your football game feast.
