A guide to campus food that won’t break the bank

A+guide+to+campus+food+that+wont+break+the+bank

There are many choices for food on campus with enough options to fit any food craving.

The problem, of course, is that while food may satisfy one’s hunger, the price of eating lunch between classes adds up quickly.

The minimum wage in California is $10.50 an hour but the average one-serving meal (including a drink and a side) from Sac State fast-food chains costs about $7.75 after sales tax.

Here are a few options for a meal to break your hunger without breaking the bank.

    There are a few others that I could add:
    Several items at the Indian Food Place are quite reasonable.
    Togo’s has a small round sandwich that’s cheap.
    Epicure has many items on it’s menu that are less than what you’d pay at other spots on campus.
