Sometimes as a college student, you may not have time to cook food for yourself and takeout may be the way to go. As food can be pretty pricey, here are a few affordable places you can checkout while saving some money.
​

SB Chicken Grill Ranch
Looking for Something Juicy and Tender? Check Out SB Chicken Grill Ranch!
SB Chicken Grill is great for a BBQ craving. Their chicken is extremely flavorful and tender. Their meals provide different protein options and various combos. Their plates run about $9-15 which is fairly good for grilled foods.
​
One tip I may add is to stir away from their Tri-Tip as it can be a tad dry.
Costco Food Court
Have a Friend With a Costco Membership? Tag Along With Them to Costco!
Costco best when it comes to cheap food. Hot dogs and a beverage are under $2, a whole pizza is $10, and other meals are fairly cheap as well. Their foods do trick when it comes to a hot cheap meal.
​
The only downside is that they now require a membership card for purchasing food court items.
Noodle City
Recovering From a Night Out?
Warm soup is best thing the next morning after a long night. Noodle City is a Vietnamese restaurant that sells various dishes like pho, rice plates, stir fry, and many others. Their dieshes are extremely inexpensive while holding on to their authenic flavors.
​
In my area back home it was about $16 for a bowl of pho but at Noodle City a bowl of pho will be around $12.
Though their pho is delightful, my faovirte dish has to be the Crispy Noodle which will be around $12
