Depends on what you classify as cheap -

Bantam King - $15 gets you a HUGE bowl of ramen or combo plate. Any of the other hole-in-the-walls in Chinatown are just as cheap for a good amount of food.

$4 for a slice of pizza is not cheap. Is that a jumbo slice? Even so, I’m from nyc and there, if you’re going to get cheap, good pizza it’s going to be $1 for a slice

Las placitas is great value for how much food you get. Full yum also very affordable given how many meals you get.

rotisserie chicken from basically any grocery store is the best protein for your dollar

TaKorean in Navy-Yard. For $10 you can get a huge box of bibimbap.

Bub and Pops is great (huge hoagie for $12). I also really like Jetties and Surfside, but it can add up there if you’re not careful.

Most of Stachowski’s sandwiches are easily enough for multiple meals, and are around $15 these days.

Absolute best bang for your buck has to be grocery store rotisserie chicken though.

Falafel Inc.

Chicken and Whiskey has a whole chicken plus sides for $25 or something like that which can feed four people. Obviously more expensive than the grocery store but it’s a great deal for eating out (and delicious).

Regular, non-fancy hot dog carts (not to be confused with the fancier food trucks) are a good bet.

You can get 2 half-smokes, a small bag of chips, and a 12 ounce can of soda for $7 at those carts.

Keren Cafe on Florida Ave NW. AMAZING Etrian food - very similar to Ethiopian. You can easily feed two people for under $20.

This is something that can easily be changed. Not like it takes rocket science to prepare a simple meal for oneself.

I used to put a little water in a baking dish add some chicken and veggies cook it in my toaster oven and had enough to feed several people. I could eat for several days for maybe $15. I had a dorm fridge so I could only keep but so much at a time.

Try the app Too Good To Go. Lots of restaurants getting rid of food near close to reduce food waste. The RASA near me consistently lists a "mystery bowl" for $5.99. I've gotten a sandwich, two pastries, and a salad from Paul for around $6. It doesn't really work if you're super picky but the times I've used it, I've enjoyed it.

I think it was quite helpful, especially since we don't know the basis for the OP's question. To save money and fill the belly? For a cheap date? For having friends out? All depends.

Oh I know it's common and thats why I gave my personal example. I honestly think that our lifestyles have so much going on that life is pretty much zoomed by. It would be great to just take the time to learn some practical skills and as far as that's concerned I feel it should be taught at home to both males and females.

I had to learn how to do so and I'm glad I did

There is a sub too r/TooGoodToGo where you can see what some of the orders look like if someone has posted from that place.

I personally love getting a bagful of bagels from Bullfrog for $6 and freezing them.
