Without sandwiches, sliced meats in the witness protection program and veggies suffering from body image issues would never have the courage to venture into mouths in public. Let deli fare step into the light with today's Groupon. For $5, you get $12 worth of food and drinks at Blimpie on Gaylord Parkway in Frisco or North Central Expressway in Dallas.

Since 1964, Blimpie has stacked and shuffled Jersey-style subs for on-the-go grabbers. The variety of items on its highly legible menu spans the subterranean spectrum, with hot, cold, and panini-grilled sandwich selections such as the new, oven-baked chicken cheddar bacon ranch dressed in crisp veggies ($5 for a six-inch). Or opt for the classic Blimpie Best, piled high with ham, salami, cappacola, prosciuttini, folded provolone, veggies, vinegar, oil, and oregano ($4-$4.29 for a six-inch).

To give meal mittens a rest, guests raise their forks high for fresh picks such as the garden salad ($3.59-$5) or the ultimate club salad, a complex arrangement of lettuce, slow-cured ham, oven-roasted turkey, swiss, smoked cheddar, bacon, and rogue tomatoes ($5). Other delectable edibles include cups of the day's finest soup ($1.99 and up) and complete kid's meals for diners under 12 years old ($3.99).
