Savvy Student Shopper
By Amy, the Savvy Shopper
As an avid deal seeker for families throughout Utah, I am frequently asked if it’s equally possible for student shoppers to save money on their grocery and retail purchases. “Absolutely” is my immediate response! Regardless of marital or even educational status, saving money is easily attainable for every walk of life. Of course, there are unique challenges for any demographic, but getting around these issues just takes a few considerations. The first decision a student shopper must consider is storage space. Dorm or apartment living space is considerably smaller than a rental home. When you’re sharing four cupboards with six roommates, who’s eating what and who
actually paid for it becomes cloudy at times. Consider buying in group purchases for the entire apartment. Assigning one shopper for all the roommates can actually save the group significantly more money when you’re able to buy in bulk or case lot sales. It doesn’t even have to be that big of a roommate grocery co-op. Consider sharing pantry staples like block cheese, milk, bread, boxed cereal, flour, sugar, etc. One roommate won’t likely be able to eat a 2-pound block of cheese before the mold creeps in, but per ounce it’s 50 percent less than buying an 8-ounce block. Divide equal roommate amounts into reusable storage containers for portion control. Sharing food and shopping skills can pay off for everyone, as long as you’re willing and able to share!

answered, I felt extremely comfortable with my decision to have surgery at Hoopes Vision. The outcome is unbelievable. I’m seeing better now than I ever did with contacts or glasses.

HOOPES VISION
In sports and in life, Jackson knows the importance of clear vision. When he decided to have LASIK surgery, he chose Hoopes Vision. At Hoopes Vision, our surgeons are committed to using the best and safest technology available. Our LASIK suite is the most technologically advanced in Utah, and our surgeons are the most experienced LASIK and IntraLASIK surgeons in the state. Our doctors meet with each patient personally to review their testing, and to discuss options and expectations. Our doctors are so confident in their results that we offer Utah’s first free “See Clearly” guarantee or your money back.* If you are considering LASIK surgery, please come in for a complimentary, no obligation, comprehensive LASIK examination and see for yourself why Dr. Phillip Hoopes and Dr. Phillip Hoopes, Jr. were voted among the “10 Most Dependable LASIK Surgeons in the United States” by Goldline Research (published in Forbes™ magazine) three years in a row. Many people are surprised to learn that the experience and technology at Hoopes Vision can be just as affordable as the cheap, corporate owned discount LASIK centers. Bring in the attached coupon and a student I.D. to receive $1,000 off your blade-free LASIK procedure.* With multiple financing options, we make the best technology affordable for nearly any budget. Use this year’s tax refund on something you will enjoy for years to come – better vision!

The next consideration is budget. Students, like families, can add savings and stretch their budget using coupons. If you’re buying as a group, multiple Sunday newspaper subscriptions are great for shaving a couple hundred dollars off your monthly grocery bills. If you are buying for one, consider printable coupon websites like Coupons. com and Smartsource.com. These sites offer free multiple printable coupons for everyday products, including milk, cheese, cleaning products and personal hygiene items. Users are allowed to print two of each identical coupon per website. And don’t forget manufacturer Facebook pages and websites as a great resource for printable coupons! These online and in-print savings really add up! Lastly, student shoppers definitely need to consider shopping the ads. That means buying items when they go on sale at stock-up prices. You may only eat Ramen noodles and mac and cheese, but both of these items go on sale for 60 percent off retail price at multiple times throughout the year. When you see a case lot sale on your favorite Asian noodles or cheesy pasta, buy a case and store it under your bed. The next time you need a pack, just shop your “under the bed store,” where everything is always on sale, and never go hungry again. (Just don’t store your stinky gym shoes there too!) Don’t know what to buy or when an advertised “stock up” deal is really a deal? It’s easy – just shop the front page of any grocery or retail ad. These items
are called “loss leaders”. In other words, the store is leading you in to shop at their store by displaying their hottest prices (lowest revenue products) on Page 1. Of course, the goal is to have you buy your entire grocery list as well, not just front-page items, while you’re there, but that’s up to you. Page 1 is a great place to start. Being a student and savvy shopper can be synonymous. Implement these simple shopping strategies and educate yourself to save! For more ideas on how to save money at the grocery store and for customizable, free shopping lists for your favorite grocer or retailer, visit www.savvyshopperdeals.com, Utah’s #1 source for savings.

By Jessica Eyre As you get settled into your new apartment and maybe meet your new roommates for the first time, you may be ready to start getting out and doing things together in your new town. There is still a lot of nice weather ahead, and one of the
benefits of living in Utah is all the outdoor opportunities right at your fingertips. So if you’re looking to try something new, like mountain biking, camping or four-wheeling but don’t have your own equipment, try renting it. Almost any kind of outdoor equipment can be rented, from big-ticket items like ski boats and personal watercrafts,

to smaller items like backpacks and sleeping bags. Renting equipment is a great way to test out an activity to see if you like it before you make a permanent investment. It’s also great if you don’t plan on participating in the activity a lot, and don’t really need to own your own equipment. Two great resources for rentals are at the valley’s two universities. BYU’s Outdoors Unlimited and UVU’s Outdoor Adventure Center offer rentals of a variety of equipment, and you don’t have to be a student. Utah Valley University has kayaks, canoes, rafts, bikes and all sorts of camping equipment from tents and sleeping bags down to water jugs and coolers. Outdoors Unlimited at Brigham Young University has much of the same equipment for rent, plus games like horseshoes, sports balls, tug-o-war ropes, flag football sets, croquet sets and GPS units. There also are a variety of retail outlets that offer motorized equipment such as ATVs, watercraft and motorcycles.

By Jessica Eyre The people you meet in college can be some of your best friends for the rest of your life. Start making memories with these activities meant just for guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or for a girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; night out.
No boys allowed Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drag your boyfriend to those girly events. Take the girls. From live theater to the latest chick flick to a scrapbooking expo, the man in your life will thank you for letting him stay home. And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll both have a good time. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to talk shop with your girlfriends and ooh and aah over all the glittering details of the latest gossip. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all pinching pennies, just go out for dessert instead of dinner. Everything sounds better over cheesecake, anyway.
NO GIRLS ALLOWED There may not be traditional fraternities at Utah Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s institutions of higher learning, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no room for some male bonding. Boys will be boys when it comes to a hard-charging game of Ultimate Frisbee, flag football or disc golf. Let the games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and subsequently, the bragging rights and possible battle wounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; begin.
Climb higher: The Quarry in Provo has unofficial gatherings of women climbers. According to the website, www.quarryclimbing.com, women are naturally made for climbing because â&#x20AC;&#x153;they think smarter and not harder in order to solve climbing sequences.â&#x20AC;?

Passes are $24, $36, $48 and $69, respectively, for adults. The pass is activated the first time you use it at any of the 13 venues. It remains active for the number of consecutive days purchased. Pass holders may visit as many attractions as they like while their pass is active, but they are limited to one visit at each participating attraction. The passes are a great way to pack in a whole day’s worth
of activities for one low price. We’ve used the passes to go to This Is The Place state park, grab lunch at Lion House Pantry Restaurant (a fantastic value and delicious food) and play around on Hidden Peak at Snowbird. The passes are also a great resource if your family comes to visit. Venues include: Discovery Gateway, Red Butte Gardens, Snowbird resort, Thanksgiving Point Gardens, Museum of Ancient Life, Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Utah Museum of Natural History, Utah Olympic Park, Utah’s Hogle Zoo, Lion House Pantry Restaurant, Living Planet Aquarium, Clark Planetarium, Tracy Aviary, This Is The Place. Purchase the passes online at www.visitsaltlake.com.

Out for
dinner
By Logan Molyneux
Along with the beginning of fall semester comes the beginning of the football season. You or someone you know has been counting down the hours to this time of year. If you don’t end up watching the game in person, and you don’t want to watch your favorite team on a 13-inch TV in your dorm room, hit one of these eateries that are good for the food as well as the big screens. Visit www.heraldextra.com/ entertainment/dining for more dining ideas in the valley.
Pizza Pie Cafe There are a couple of excellent televisions here, placed appropriately so as to be visible from many tables. And because the pizza is served buffet-style, all you can eat, you might want to stick around a while. (Large groups might consider renting the party room.) Located at: 2235 N. University Parkway, Provo, (801) 373-5561.
Wing Nutz No food is more closely connected to sporting events than chicken wings, and here the two delights remain hand in

hand. The wings at Wing Nutz are baked instead of fried — not that you’ll be able to tell the difference taste-wise, but your heart may thank you. And the wings only get better with the sauces you choose: Mango Pom Chipotle, Southern Honey BBQ, Apricot Teriyaki and more. Located at: 1054 S. 750 East, Orem, (801) 655-1433.
Iggy’s Sports Grill This, fellow watchers, is nearly the Holy Grail of televised sporting and gratuitous eating. There’s a huge projection screen in the middle for everyone to see, flanked by several smaller screens tuned to various events. Your server brings you a speaker for your table, and you can tune it to which event you want to hear. The menu is lengthy, featuring all kinds of burgers, sandwiches, pastas, pizzas and even some steaks.

And the portions are large, or at least large enough to get you through the first half (after which you clearly must order some dessert and stick around for the second half). Located at: 1087 S. 750 East, Orem, (801) 434-7800.
Bombay House — 463 N. University Ave., Provo. One of Provo’s trendiest and most unique dining experiences. The flavorful curry and varieties of fresh chutney are not to be missed. (801) 373-6677. Gloria’s Little Italy — 1 East Center St., No. 100, Provo. Authentic Italian food, including large panini sandwiches, made by Gloria herself. Also try the gelato or Mormon tiramisu. (801) 805-4913.
Not a sports fan? If you’d rather focus on the people at your table, and not the television, you’ve got plenty of options. Here are just a few: J-Dawg — 880 N. 700 East, Provo. In a free-standing building on the edge of BYU campus, the eatery attracts long lines over the lunch hour to its beef and Polish dogs topped with a sweet barbecue sauce, onions, sauerkraut, pickles, jalapenos and/or banana peppers. 373-3294. Los Hermanos — 71 E. Center St., Provo. Local restaurant has been in business for decades, features cheese-laden plates as well as a variety of fancy, non-alcoholic drinks. (801) 375-5732.
Purple Turtle — 85 E. State St., Pleasant Grove. Famous, quirky local burger joint with very, very good shakes. (801) 785-2444. Smokehouse Pizza & BBQ — 214 E. University Pkwy., Orem. Features a variety of barbecued meats including ribs, chicken, brisket and pork, along with the restaurant’s signature deep-fried pizza dough. Side dishes include baked beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese and applesauce. 434-7000. Sensuous Sandwich —163 W. Center St., Provo. This very casual sandwich shop has several sizes of hoagies, with whatever toppings you want. 377-9244.
Cafe Rio — 2250 N. University Pkwy., Provo. The emphasis is on fresh ingredients, deliciously seasoned and prepared to your order at this popular, see-and-be-seen cafe. (801) 375-5133. Costa Vida at Fat Cats —1200 N. University Ave., Provo. This fresh-Mex restaurant specializes in salads, burritos and sweet marinated pork and is adjacent to a bowling alley. Order a burrito and salad, then bowl. (801) 373-1876. Magleby’s Fresh — 3362 N. University Ave., Provo. Abbreviated version of Magleby’s fancy restaurant, with gourmet take-out. Patrons can also dine in and enjoy a lower-priced, abbreviated menu of the main restaurant. 852-8620. Mama Chu’s Mexican Food — 1555 E. 800 North, Orem. The restaurant’s specialties include carne asada, shrimp fajitas, chicken enchiladas, chile rellenos and chimichangas. (801) 2210429.
Marley’s Gourmet Sliders — 4801 N. University Ave., Suite 860, Provo. If sliders get your motor going, then you’ll probably want to schedule a pit stop at Marley’s Gourmet Sliders in Provo. Even though most of the menu is pretty meat-heavy, there are a few options for vegetarians, too. (801) 225-2720 The Awful Waffle — 815 N. 700 East, Provo. We were about one bite into our dinner before reaching the conclusion that there was absolutely nothing awful about our prodigiously packed waffle. Since you pick all your own toppings, your personal satisfaction in almost guaranteed. All dining is done at tables in what amounts to a parking lot, but we highly recommend a visit whether it be for your main course or dessert. www.facebook.com/TheAwfulWaffleShop
