Cheap Toronto eats?

Forgive me if this topic has been done to death, but I'm looking for cheap bites to grab downtown. I like to go places that have very inexpensive meals (

Examples -
Cheap meals: Mothers Dumplings (do they sell anything that's even over 10 bucks?), Sushi on Bloor (bento deals or otherwise just an appetizer alongside the huge $3 tofu salad), Nova Era ($4 deli sandwiches on fresh bread).

Snacks: Small order of chips from Chippys, one of a few cheap places for samosas near Landsdowne (I'm drawing a blank on the name but one place has samosas 3/$1 and little rotis for $1), Chicken baguette from Ginger ($3).

What are your favorite cheap eats in the city?

cabbagetown breakfast/brunch/lunch

House on Parliament is great for sandwiches and upscale pup fare (reasonable prices).

For a fancier bruch/breakfast, go to the Pear Tree. Sit in the atrium if you can, it's gorgeous.

For a real greasy-spoon, affordable homestyle (and tasty!) breakfast, try "Good Breakfast" on the West side of Parliament (halfway between parliament and gerrard). It looks sketchy on the outside, but inside it's cute and the ladies who run it do canadian-style breakfasts (eggs, bacon, toast, BLTs, etc) and chinese and canadian lunch/dinner. All VERY cheap, very tasty.
