Authentic Mexican tacos from any number or taquerias or banh mi. $5 is a tough number. For a 1-2 bucks more, you can get cheap Chinese, Indian, or ramen too.

Along the lines of hot dogs, the Ikea #2 combo, 2 dogs, soda and bag of chips for $2. Fifty cents extra will get you another hot dog. |
About 4 years ago when I worked early mornings, there was a lady outside the train station selling homemade tamalies - somewhere around 2 for $1. They were very, very good and she is probably still there.
A current favorite is Pho - starts at about $3.95. |

My favourite cheap eat is an M&S egg and watercress sandwich - a Boots 'meal deal' also makes the list! I miss UK lunch food!
Costco: Hot dog + soda and/or their Very Berry Fronzen Yogurt Sundae Rio de Janeiro: street vendors' barbecue-on-skewers. For R$2,00 (US$1.10) you can choose meat, chicken or a mixed one (meat + sausage + chicken). They operate mostly after business hours (from 6PM) and you can find them at most street corners nearby office buidings. |
This one is weird and I can't really explain why I like it.
Two pieces of white toast, topped with creamy peanut butter and scrambled eggs. One of my favorite casual weekend breakfasts or late night snack. |
A bagel with pub cheese

The absolutely most economical thing I eat is at home. I get a 24-pack of Purdue chicken thighs from BJ's, cryovaced in packs of four. It's usually less than $10. The meat feeds me for a month or longer. I toss the skin and keep the bones. When I have a bag of frozen bones, I make stock, which lasts another month.
Give the $4.99 BJs roasted chicken a try. It is enough for four meals easy and sure is yummy. |
Waffle House. Triple order of Hash Browns, smothered, covered, and chunked. About $4, and I could last all day on it.

My favorite part about traveling is trying so many yummy new foods and treats everywhere I go! Working out and keeping in shape is a must though... takes a good head to stay healthy! |
Breakfast at a Waffle house
light dinner - good for rest of day skip lunch |
My lunch option is ZERO breakfast - then gorge at lunch at The Golden Coral - no dinner
|
Mirroring OPs' Coscto comments..
I really take a liking to the Apple Pecan Salad with white meat chicken. Offered in Canada, its a very healthy alternative to the fast food menu.. plus get a Fuze drink from the vending machine, and you've got a pretty good combination.. |
Nothing beats good bar food: wings, chicken cheese steaks, wraps and good burgers.
|
Nobody voting for the costco chicken wraps?
One uber sized cheese and chicken and carbs for 2.25ish :) |
Half price appetizers at Happy Hour, one or two of those can make a meal!
