cheap places to eat

Student Lounge College Life

<p>I just did a quick 5 second budget in my head, and I realized that if I wanted to eat out while I'm paying rent, I'm going to have to pick the cheapest places possible.</p>

<p>So far, my best option is Little Ceasars, where you can get $5 large pizzas. :O bye bye 5 dollar footlongs.</p>

<p>does anyone have anything better in mind?</p>

<p>P.S. Wendy's is questionable. Absolutely no BK or McDonald's. On one occasion, I literally puked out a 12 hour hold whopper junior 5minutes after ingestion. I'm never eating BK ever again.</p>

<p>I had a McGriddle form McDonalds and puked. It was delicious though. I don’t know why I puked, but it may have something to do with the fact that I have eaten meat maybe two dozen times the past 10 years. Pizza is the best bet. </p>

<p>Taco Bell is generally cheap. Not sure if you have it where you live.</p>

<p>I think your best bet is to look at all the local places and see what has reasonable prices. Yelp could help.</p>

<p>Oh no, not Taco Bell! For some reason, the Taco Bell in the area where I go to school are 3-dollar colonics. </p>

<p>Or you can learn how to cook. That’s always cheaper! Or look for places that give discounts to students.</p>

<p>One Double Down at KFC gives you enough cholesterol and sodium intake to last you the whole day!</p>

<p>@tiff90 I ate some McBreakfast Item and I’m pretty sure it gave me the strangest diarrhea ever.</p>

<p>Yeah, pizza’s a good option. Find out what’s the best bang for your buck. If you’ve got a kitchen or at least a stove and frying pan, you can easily heat up leftover pizza.</p>

<p>^
Probably because everything from McDiddles is 67% saturated fat or grease. They just started putting nutritional facts on their items, and it has been a munchies deterent. The McGriddles are injected with syrup. Fast food in general doesn’t sit well with me, I eat rarely eat it so my body isn’t used to all the grease.</p>

8

<p>Could you make your own food? </p>

<p>Much cheaper and healthier in the long run. </p>

<p>If not, then Little Ceasar’s is a good option. Taco Bell has a really good bang for your buck. They have tacos and stuff there for less than a buck. I don’t eat there though so I’m not sure how big those tacos are.</p>

<p>I’d go for taco bells, but the taco bell near my campus is more expensive for some reason. The dollar menu is more like 1.50 menu.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>maybe it has something to do with the washed up look the burger has after it comes out of the microwave. The ketchup looks like wall paint, the meat looks like squashed sh**, and the buns feel stiff, yet they’re squishy from all the fat. You tell me our human instincts are suppose to allow us to digest that.</p>

11

<p>The Taco Bell near your campus is doing you a favor. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE! (ohhh…diarrhea)</p>

<p>I once puked after eating chicken fries from Burger King. It must have been the orange sauce I asked for. I KNEW I should have asked for honey mustard.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The one on Somerset?</p>

13

<p>^ Yep. A couple of people I know went together the other night. Later that night four of them had Facebook statuses relating to how upset their stomach was. </p>

<p>There is this other guy I know who has been there in the past a few times, and he always complains how much his stomach hurts. NUTS! Such a fool to continue to torture himself. Epecially since we have SOOO many other places to eat or order take out from around the area!</p>

14

<p>that’s funny, because I’ve never had any problem with taco bell.</p>

<p>maybe someone in your area should file a lawsuit.</p>

<p>How much does it cost to get 3 tacos?</p>

<p>Also try avoiding buying drinks. Maybe you already do this, but it cuts out a huge portion of the cost.</p>

<p>I personally love Jack in the Box. Two tacos for $.99. </p>

<p>I’ve never had a problem with taco bell either…we eat there all the time (there’s one right across the street from my dorm).</p>

17

<p>2 tacos for $.99 is a good deal. I dont get sick when i have t-bell, but your roommates will be mad at you when you start farting. One of my friends went to a fast food place (Im not saying which one) and he said he got sick from the food and they gave him a huge coupon book. And not like 50 cents off, but free food! I hate fast food. Everytime i go the fries are cold. The only place i like is 5 Guys. They are awesome but they are expensive. Its like $5 for a hamburger. </p>

<p>I have an idea. You can go around and get $1 from everyone then have your RA go out to the supermarket and get lunch meat, cheese, rolls, and if you have money left over they can get some 2L sodas. That way you can eat good food on campus.</p>

18

<p>As long as you can handle fast food, any dollar menu is your best bet. Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and I second HisGraceFillsMe on Jack In The Box- there tacos are delicious, cheap, and fill you up.</p>

<p>Seems to be a lot of hate on taco bell, lol. I feel like they are pretty cheap, and if you have digestive problems well… steer clear.</p>

<p>^^ Speaking of shopping, I like lunchables, although I think they are effing expensive. It’s like, six bucks for one of those pizza ones with the juice and snack in it. Ugh.</p>

<p>OP, pizza is your best bet. And if you have a fridge, then you know it’s good to reheat.And if you don’t have a microwave, cold is good too. Depending on how much you eat, buying yourself two may last you a few days.</p>

<p>OH! And if you have any dollar stores near you, try buying food from there. It may sound kinda crapy, but they usually have name brand things for $1. You could get bread and snacks without having to pay full price. Just make sure it’s an actually dollar store and not one of those ones that claims to be one, but then has a range of prices.</p>
