Cheap Combos/Food with a drink under $5.00

[dx1997]

So what are places you know of or recommend for someone on a tight budget?

I know of the obvious, like Taco Bell's 2 Taco Combo, getting a hot dog from a cart, a Pizza slice plus drink, and so on.

So what are places you know of that have a combo for under 5 bucks, or at least an item of food that fills you up enough that all you need is a drink?

Depends where you want to eat.

For me, if I only had $5 for lunch (probably a little more like $6 would be safer) I'd go to chinese food courts or some cheap indian places (Sweet India by the airport is my current favourite).

Small McD chicken burger $1.46
Small fries $1.46
Drink $1+

Stock up on KFC tuesday specials - I put a bunch in the freezer, 15 minutes in oven at 400 deg and I'm ok too.

$1 for 5 samosas from Samosa King

I think Wendy has $3.99 combos, but never tried them.

Wonton with noodles in Chinese food courts = about $3.99

3 bbq pork buns from Asian supermarket = $2 approx (60c each)

Wendy's has value combo's for $3.99. You can substitute Fries for baked potato and drink for a smoothie. But be advised you won't be full.

Cheapest (and most decent IMO) combo's are at chinese food courts.

Hot dog and pop - Costco $1.99

As others have said, Chinese food courts are the best place

Often, you can get a combo with a drink for $5 or a bit over that, and feel very full

Hot dog and pop - Costco $1.99

That is a large 1/4 lb beef dog, and a refillable drink.
Two shoppers buying two of those, plus a poutine at $4.50, and you can handle the crowds!

You can also swap for a chili, and I get pretty full after eating it, but of course I'm not a guy

[kingfencer]

pretty tough, everything has raised, mcdonald combo comes to 4.97 and you won't be full, wend is 4.27, but they made the drink to small size, if you want medium size, the price is like 5.74....

For the next week, you can get a pasta for 99 cents. So 2x pasta(its really not alot) plus a kids meal(5x meatballs or 1x piece of fish, plus small side of fries/potatoes/veggies) and a fountain pop. That's like, $4.18 lol.


Or Monday + Tuesdays, after 5pm, 15 piece meatballs with side of fries/potatoes/veggies, and add a $1 fountain pop, $4.19 I think.

There is a HK/Chinese style restaurant at Kennedy and Denison(used to be Shanghai restaurant) that have some of the cheapest food+COLD drink combo during their 2-5pm afternoon tea session 7 days a week. Cheapest is $1.99(toast with condensed milk) and most expensive is $5.99(Bake seafood rice pork chop rice)+ you can get a special cold drink(i.e., red bean ice drink, pineapple ice drink) at no extra charge! The dishes aren't small either and their afternoon tea menu is actually quite extensive.

I went with a friend once. I ordered satay beef macaroni in soup and he ordered fried pork chop with fries and we also ordered 2 cold drinks it came to $5.98 for 2 person + tax + tips...it was only $7.50..LOL

They also have some cheap food on their regular menu too. Example: fish ball vermicelli in soup is $2.50!

Warden and Sheppard. There's a little mom and pop Chinese restaurant that has lunch deals for $4.29 (last time I went) and it includes a soup of the day (russian borsh, cream of corn), main dish (a selection of 5 dishes) and a drink (tea or coffee). Portions are quite big for its size and you could get full pretty quickly.
