    • What would be considered a cheaperest money for value meal.

       

       

       

      I thought Costco Hot Dog and Drink for $1.50 is worth the money.

       

      it gives you the sugar, transfat. biggrin.png  can't get any better!!!

      yeah, I remember those really cheap meals, won't see them again.

      cheapest meals here are the ones we cook at home. Dining out can be expensive.

    • erm, by toronto's standard, i tink this can be considered cheap bah.

      1 lai tong (soup), 1 bowl of rice (typically, one gets charged for a dollar), a dish of your choice (selection from seafood, meat or veggie)

      for C$6.

      you have a choice of eating in (get free chinese tea but then u gotta tip) or take out (no tea, no tipping).

      best part?  walking distance from my house.  chefs are from china and food is wonderfully delicious too although a tad salty.  always gotta add this sentence "siew yim" or "sao yen".

      how?  cheap?

    • Here if we go to $0.99 cents store. we get 8 packet of instant noodle for $0.99 cent. Now can't beat that.

       

      Buy 12 eggs for $0.99 cents and buy 1 packet of hotdog for $0.99 cents

       

      so Do your math.  if you cooked 1 packet of noodle drop an egg and 2 links. How much u think it cost?

    • cheap....errrr......i cant think of anything T.T the cheapest i can think of is tim hortons and it's not cheap at all T.T
      i've never had costco food! though you know sometimes it smells sooo gd...........heehee. and the pizzas look not bad.
      erm....we can get some dunno-what-brand-really-tiny-packets of instant noodles at $1 for 2. but you need at least 2 packets to fill u up. i'd rather eat a dozen timbits....
      nah....things in pluto are not cheap at all........things in toronto are so much more affordable =p
