To function properly, the human body requires a steady stream of nutrients, sunlight, and compliments from other species about its opposable thumbs. Use your bendable digits to provide yourself with nutrients with today’s Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of perogies, cabbage rolls, borscht, and more at Baba's Homestyle Perogies on 51 Street East.

Baba's Homestyle Perogies calms quavering appetites with a mouth-mesmerizing menu of Eastern European specialties. Saskatchewan–grown stuffing fluffs up savoury, handmade potato and cheddar cheese perogies ($6.49 for seven). Pair your pocket panoply with hearty sides of beet borscht with a bun ($3.99), stuffed cabbage rolls ($6.49 for five), and sauerkraut ($0.59), then sink a sweet tooth into a slice of homemade pie ($2.99). The super combo ($7.49) crushes hunger pangs beneath a quintet of perogies, two stuffed cabbage rolls and a sausage "smokie." Like grocery shopping on roller blades, the take-out option makes for a speedy meal.

Baba's Homestyle Perogies also invites patrons to peruse a variety of frozen goods, including perogies with seven types of sweet and savoury fillings. Grab a 1kg bag of (around three dozen) potato and onion perogies ($8.25) or the rice and onion cabbage rolls ($9.25). Take meals home to cook later or keep frozen until technology makes it possible to share perogies with your robot butler.

Baba's Perogies is closed Sundays.
