Thanksgiving is right around the corner (okay, maybe a few corners) so it’s time to get into the holiday mood! And what better way to get festive than to indulge in some autumn holiday-themed treats on Main Street? So next time you’re trudging down Main Street in the pouring rain (this is Delaware, after all) check out these festive and tasty deals. Trust us, you’ll be in the spirit in no time.
1) If you’ve got a sweet tooth and an unhealthy obsession with Halloween, check out Dunkin’ Donuts’ Boston Scream. We thought it was clever too. It’s a classic inexpensive (under a dollar) treat with a holiday twist – orange sprinkles.
2) Speaking of sugar… Sweet and Sassy Cupcakes is selling Cinnamon Toast cupcakes and Pumpkin cupcakes for those of us who miss homemade or really good store-bought pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. One cupcake is $2.75, but your taste buds will thank you.
3) Home Grown has managed to turn pumpkin into soup. Their creamy blend of pumpkin, cinnamon and brown sugar, sprinkled with spiced pecans, is only $5. Their hearty Candy Cane Beet salad, consisting of greens with spiced pecans, tomatoes, pancetta and red and white striped beets, topped with a lemon honey dressing, will put you in the Christmas spirit really early while costing you $8.
4) Try the Caramel Apple Cider or the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Saxbys Coffee. It may seem like quite a walk to Elkton Road if you live on Chapel, but these hot beverages can help make your rainy day just a little bit sunnier. A medium Pumpkin Latte will cost you $4.05 though (ooph!)
Let us know if you’ve spotted other sweet holiday deals around town worth checking out. While some of these might not be the most wallet-friendly foods, they only come around once a year, so enjoy them while you can. Happy snacking!

Delicious Deals on Main Street
While most of the food on Main Street is reasonably priced, it still makes us happy when you can get your dinner, snacks or anything for extra cheap. There are a ton of great deals on campus that save you money while filling you up, but after careful consideration and a lot of taste testing we have come up with a list of our favorite deals and some choice suggestions.
1) 40 cent wing night on Tuesdays at Buffalo Wild Wings: After trying both the boneless and regular wings, the regular wings have come out on top. For only 40 cents it's easy to fill up and with 14 sauce choices, everyone's happy. For people who aren't a fan of heat, the Teriyaki wings are a suprisingly delicious twist and for those who like heat, Asian Zing is definitely the best sauce at BWW.
2) Also on Tuesday nights is Kildares $5 burger special: The portions are big and for $5 you get a burger that is more gourmet than most places on Main Street. The BBQ Bacon Burger is delicious and is made with bacon, whiskey BBQ sauce, fried onions, cheese, tomato and lettuce. Definitely not the healthiest burger option but the BBQ sauce is amazing, the burger is extremely filling and the fries are good too.
3) Mondays at Home Grown mean half priced appetizers and discounted drink specials from 5- 7 pm: Home Grown's appetizers are huge and are sometimes enough for an entire meal, so just ordering this saves a ton of money on your meal. The most original item on the menu, in our opinion, is the Spicy Sashimi Cocktail. For those of you who like sushi, its Ahi tuna, soy sauce, avacado, japonese mayonaise, scallions, ginger and wasabi served in a martini glass. This appetizer is really tasty, but if you want more food for your dollar then we suggest ordering the Mezzi Platter with hummus, pita, stuffed grape leaves and olives. This appetizer is more than enough for two people and is again, very tasty.
Of course, there are many other deals on Main Street that you should check out, but these three have proven to be both wallet- friendly and delicious. Let us know what you think and keep craving!
