Eating out on a millennial budget ain't easy. While it would be great to treat ourselves every night of the week, it's good to have a few cheaper spots in your back pocket. Thankfully, Calgary has a lot of cheap eats and places where everything on the menu is less than $15. In order to make your life easier, we came up with a list of cheap places to eat in Calgary. We suggest you go hungry.
