Ask Miss Q Q:

Dear Miss Q,

What are the cheapest places to get food in Brandon?

Sincerely, The Hungry

A:

Dear Hungry,

There are tons of places in Brandon to get food. Some of them are healthy, some of them are expensive and some of them even have Chinese.

It all comes down to what you want. In my opinion, the best value-to-calorie intake in this town is probably the grocery store. This is most likely not what you want to hear, but it is cheaper and usually better for you.

Go get a big bag of rice and some sweet and sour sauce. If you are having a good week, toss in some chopped up sausage for protein. If you get this stuff from Sobeys, make sure you go after 9:30 pm: they give away free bread! Free is great.

Good luck! Miss Q
