On Mondays, students are offered up to twenty percent off.

People began piling in the restaurant to receive what they call, “The 420 special.” Between the hours of 4:20-5:30 PM high street deli offers sandwiches for $6.99 rather than the typical close to $10. Once you try High Street Deli, chances are you will become hooked. So, be sure to head over when the clock strikes 4:20 every now and then. Finding good deals may take a bit of sleuthing, but it is not impossible. Mon Ami, Front Porch, and High Street are just a few of the gems in the rainbow of bargains. So, do your research and be your own discounting detective.
