12 Of The Best Cheap Eats In Ottawa For $15 Or Less
When you think about it, food is not cheap. There are apps you can download that tell you how much you spend on certain items each month, and you'd be surprised at how much you actually spend on groceries and eating out. I don't know about you, but from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to bed, I'm hungry AF. And I'm one of those people that gets hangry. Seriously, don't mess with me when I have eaten in 15 minutes.
When you're hungry all the time food can definitely add up. Whether you're studying, working a long shift, or just laying on the couch doing nothing, as soon as your stomach rumbles you need food. But do you also want to spend 30 bucks on takeout? I know I don't.

If you're broke AF or just need to cut back on the amount you spend on food, I gotchu. Don't get hangry, get happy. We have a ton of spots in Ottawa that cater to the #broke life.
