Options for the Hungry College Student

If you wait until 7 p.m. to eat you can pick up cheaply priced meals from the hot unit at White's Markets.

The meals offered in the hot unit rotate daily, with a few items that are popular repeating more frequently than others. The price for meals from the hot unit are $5.49 per pound, but get reduced at the end of the night to $1.99 per pound.

The fresh made deli sandwiches also get reduced; after three days each sandwich will be reduced to $1.50. Desserts get marked down on the fifth day, prices varying depending on the original price of the remaining desserts. Salads from the deli salad case also get marked down each morning to $1.99 per pound.

When questioned about the people normally purchasing reduced food and hot unit food Lynnett Montgomery, a worker at the Plaza deli, responded that, "Most shoppers at least stop and look" and that the reduced items, "usually sell".

As of late summer 2011, White's Market Plaza in Lyndonville has been remodeled. New features include changes to the deli and dining area. As always coffee, sandwiches, and hot meals are still available near the deli, but the  store have been equipped with a salad bar and pizza station.

The new pizzas are mostly bought on Friday and Saturday nights, according to Montgomery.

The Pizza oven has been a big hit in the store; people enjoy the brick oven pizza not only because of its taste, but also for its great price:  $9.99 for a 16" cheese pizza, $10.99 for a pepperoni pizza, "specialty pizzas" $13.99-$14.99 depending on the pizza ordered, and additional toppings $1.25 each.

The hot unit and salad bar close at 7 p.m. every night and the pizza oven is turned off by 8 p.m.; any food from the hot unit that is left over will be marked down and remaining pizza in the pizza warmer will be thrown away.
