Yo Slim, tell me how to eat cheap in Seattle.
U-District food prices are jacked up and I don't want to spend my entire day busing around the city to try and find cheaper food.
Start cooking your own meals. Shop in the discount meats section of the grocery store. Pay attention to the price per pound on things like lunchmeat, cheese, and etc - and make sandwiches. Host a pot-luck or something where everyone brings something to eat to your place, and then have leftovers. Don't be afraid of coupons. Spaghetti is cheap.
Also, if you can find a decent Asian Grocery near the UD, they nearly always have better prices on stuff like fish, ramen, and etc. Not Uwajimaya. They are kinda pricey, but have good selection.
As far as eating out in the U-dist. New China Express on the Ave has decent "Americanized" Chinese food, but they are open late, and you can get their "lunch" prices all the time. You still get a huge plate of food for like $5. Pizza Ragazzi has what USED to be the cheapest delivery pizza on Campus. I don't know about now. Uh... taco trucks. I see one occasionally up that way. Use it. Dick's cheeseburgers are like $1.50 or something.
