Think again! Newcastle is a haven for deliciously cheap food. So, there&#8217;s no reason to crack open another tin of beans tonight. It&#8217;s time to get your trainers on, grab an umbrella (it&#8217;s Newcastle after all), and treat your taste buds to something scrumptious. Here\u00a0are the best places to eat in Newcastle when you&#8217;re broke AF!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Fat Hippo<\/h2>\n<p>If the prices were holding you back from visiting this Newcastle favourite, it&#8217;s time to make another visit. The Fat Hippo offers a lunch deal for five pounds. <em>Five pounds<\/em>. So whether it&#8217;s a peanut butter burger (yes, that is a thing), or a traditional burger in a bun, it&#8217;s time to get your sweatpants on.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Santana&#8217;s<\/h2>\n<p>Fancy Italian? Only have a fiver? Santana&#8217;s is for you. With a two course lunch deal on weekdays, you can bag a starter <em>and <\/em>any pizza or pasta for \u00a34.95.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Eat For Less<\/h2>\n<p>The clue is in the name. Tuck into baguettes, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, and a queue that spans the length of Northumberland Street. And with \u00a31.75 for a meal deal (baguette, fries and a drink), you can see why.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Sapori<\/h2>\n<p>A favourite with the locals, Sapori is a broke student&#8217;s dream. I&#8217;m talking delicious pizzas and pastas for a fiver, and the <em>best <\/em>tiramisu in the city. Don&#8217;t believe me? There&#8217;s only one way to find out.<\/p>\n<h2>5. McCrouzer Cafe<\/h2>\n<p>A two second walk from Sapori sits this little gem. Whether you fancy a small bite to eat, a full English, or a homemade curry, the McCrouzer has it all. Oh, and because it&#8217;s so cheap, it&#8217;s acceptable to have pudding, right?<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BMv9HQ4AnKw\/?taken-at=1015258282&#038;hl=en<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>6. Avoid Waitrose in Jesmond<\/h2>\n<p>We all know Waitrose is not ideal for a student budget. We all know Waitrose thinks caviar is an &#8216;essential&#8217;.\u00a0Yet, so many students still end up shopping in the Jesmond store. Even pricier than your average Waitrose, this does not lead to a happy bank balance. Put the pink prosecco ice lollies down, turn around, and order your groceries online. You can thank me later.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Grainger Market<\/h2>\n<p>Filled with fruit stalls, butchers, and independent cafes, this is heaven for any broke student. Often cheaper than the supermarkets, by shopping here you&#8217;ll be supporting local businesses while saving cash. Win win!<\/p>\n<h5>Do you know of any other places to eat in Newcastle when you&#8217;re broke AF!?
