I too have guiltily partaken of the meatball-and-lingonberry meal -- and if you're really broke, you can even put it on an easily-gotten Ikea card and pay (much) later...
 
here's five more cheap eats:
 
1) Feta sandwiches at Porto's bakery in Glendale -- simple cheese and fresh tomatoes in crunchy bread with nice olive oil, less than $3.
 
2) Plain slice of pizza from Vito's, across from LA City College -- thin-crust, straight-outa-Brooklyn pie. Tho steer clear the mushrooms -- they're from a can.
 
3) A coupla fish tacos from El Siete Mares, various locations -- battered, fried fish with crisp cabbage and a nice creamy sauce, not more than $6 for a big heaping plate...
 
4) Dim sum at Empress Pavillion -- you get stuffed here and not spend more than $10 per head...
 
5) The special Saturday tamales at Yuccas in Los Feliz -- pork and fresh salsa, steamed in banana leaves.
