Lunch can often be an expensive affair and if you spend an average of $10-$12 on lunch, you are looking at spending almost $3000 over a year. There will be times where packing your own lunch is not possible and finding a cheap eat can be difficult. The team at Save Money Sydney has done the hard work for you and here are a couple of places that should help minimise the cost of eating out.
1. Deep Sea Seafood on South Street at Granville
Deep Seafood in Granville, NSW
Plenty of selection for $5 and under
This place is conveniently located along South Street. They have four (4) fish cocktails + chips for $5! That is a steal for lunch.
2. Hungry Jacks
Hungry Jacks has their awesome stunner deals for $4.95. This includes burger, drink and a desert. You can’t get better than that for a cheap lunch. Not too sure about the nutritional value but hey it’s CHEAP!
3. St. Leonards Station
I was at St. Leonards Station last week and discovered some amazing places that offer cheap eats. Regular organic coffee with soy milk only set me back by $2.60. Normally, I bring my own coffee but that day I was in a rush and I needed my caffeine fix. I’m sure the coffee addicts out there understand what I’m talking about 
. Also, managed to grab a toasted ham, tomato and cheese sandwich for $2.50! Total damage for brekky was only $5.10! That was way cheaper than my return train ticket from Parramatta to St. Leonards.
4. Vietnamese Pork Rolls or Vietnamese Baguettes
These delicious rolls make great lunches and they are cheap! They usually cost between $3.50 to $4.50 each. The bread rolls are sliced open in the middle and stuffed with carrots, onions, cured meat, coriander, spring onion, pate, butter and soy sauce. Where can you find these delicious rolls? Almost any hot bread shop that is run by Vietnamese people will have pork rolls or even chicken rolls.
