No matter how hard one wills it, refrigerated ingredients will never seek out bread of their own accord. Today's Groupon cuts down on your sandwich staring so that you have more time to stare at The Men Who Stare at Goats: for $5, you get $10 worth of fresh sandwiches and homemade meals at Ricci's Deli in Greenwood.

For years, the almighty sandwich has protected innumerable forks and knives from boiling-hot dishwashers, and Ricci's vast menu honors this tradition with freshly made boxed lunches of smoked turkey, baked ham, chicken salad, or roast beef sandwiches with a side, cookies, and chips ($8). You can also indulge your affinity for cylindrical food with a grilled chicken and steak wrap ($8). If you're more in the mood for a hot dish, tuck into Ricci's cheddar baked chicken on a pillow of wild rice ($8.25), fish almandine ($8.25), or the house lasagna with a homemade tomato sauce (filled with meat or veggies, $8.25).

Ricci's keeps Indy supplied with fresh fare so that it doesn't have to worry about Brad Chadford bullying it for its milk money during study hall. There's no buy limit on today's Groupon, though you may only use one per visit (unless you're a master of disguise).

Today's Groupon is not valid for delivery.
