Eating is necessary for human survival, along with breathing, sleeping, and remaining still while a curious velociraptor rummages through your closet. Practice survival tactics with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of soups, salads, and sandwiches at Hobie's Café in East Lansing.

Hobie's Café's menu details a hearty listing of staple American entrees. Bowls of new england clam chowder ($5.75) warm palates with succulent seafood morsels in milky broth, quenching appetites. Freshly baked breads squeeze sandwich ingredients into convenient handheld packages such as the original Hobie ($5.66), whose ham and genoa salami arrive adorned in monterey jack cheese and a secret sauce blend. Meats and cheeses test their mettles in stuffed baked potatoes ($4.66), and raspberry-chicken salads ($5.66) satisfy sweet and savory hankerings as diners gaze over a collection of more than 200 baseball hats and eat upon tables made of authentic basketball court and dragon scales of questionable authenticity. Hobie's Café sits conveniently only a short walk away from Michigan State's athletic facilities.
