The Point Park Cafe literally raises its prices every year. It is now $3 for a yogurt, almost $7 if you get a wrap and chips, $3 and some change for a soggy fruit cup, and a whopping $8 for a pre-made salad that sits over in the cooler by the coffee. The cheapest things in the cafe include drinks, small snacks and other random things that will never fill you up.
Here's how to eat cheap in the cafe:
1. Buy Brisk Iced-Tea. This brisk not only has caffeine to get you through your busy day, but it comes in many flavors and once it actually lasted me 2 days because it's so big! Also, it's only a buck! Can't beat that...
2. Fruit and pop-tarts are cheap. With their variety of pop-tarts and fruit for only one dollar, that's a good way to start your day and not spend a lot of money. Make sure you check for rotten spots on the apples. Point Park's apples have never been the most promising.
3. Cafe Snack wraps. $2.19 per wrap, and although I may need about 3 of these to be full, they are a good snack that can kind of tie you over until you get home.
4. Grilled Cheese. Grilled cheese in the cafe is delicious and cheap, but they never put enough cheese! That's just a personal complaint, but usually I can get a cup of soup and a grilled cheese for only $4.18, which is pretty cheap compared to their $8 salads, just saying...
5. Eat at subway instead. It's really close and $5 footlongs, duh.
Random thought: This weather is miserable!
