Unlike a sand witch, a sandwich doesn't have the power to turn men into sand and sand into poisoned glass. A sandwich can cast a devastating spell on hunger pains with today's Groupon: for $40, you get $100 worth of deli catering services from Shopsy's. You may redeem this Groupon online or over the phone.

An edibles institution for more than 85 years, Shopsy's deals in delicious deli fare, with fresh cuts from Canada's finest meat trees. Feed fussy family members with a Shopsy's traditional assorted sandwich platter ($8.99, minimum order of six), packed with several meats—such as salami, smoked turkey, and Shopsy's renowned corned beef—and served on an array of freshly baked breads and rolls. Hosts seeking to satisfy discerning sandwichistas can opt for Shopsy's famous ultimate submarine sandwich ($109.99, feeds 18¬–20), a monster French-style loaf stacked with an assortment of meaty layers, cheese, pickles, and a plethora of fixings. Shopsy's steps outside of breaded boundaries to offer hot entrees as well, such as a meat or vegetarian lasagna ($14.99) and the house-specialty cabbage rolls ($15.99), with premium ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage and swimming in zesty tomato sauce. Breakfast selections are also available to tame grumpiness at morningly office karaoke tournaments. There is typically a minimum order of six for individual items.

Occasionally, larger groups of humans join forces, whether it be for birthday celebrations, gerbil funerals, or sporting events. Feed the masses with deli fare just like your grandmother used to make with her industry-strength meat slicer and access to black-market baked goods.
