I miss having on-demand cheap college cafeteria food. It's hard to find places that have the same slightly above average food for bargain prices. IKEA's food is the closest I've found. Food courts at malls generally are no different from just going to a fast food place, which have all raised prices as of recently. Costco is cheap but their options/taste isn't great. I've been bumming off a friend's college meal plan recently and it's so good. Pizza, pasta, a few really good vegetarian options, same with the allergy-free section. If only I was allowed to pay what he pays for that food.

There are a lot of apps/rewards/loyalty programs now. Its kind of like two different economies for some businesses: those who use these deals and those who subsidize the others. E.g. at mcdonalds a big mac is still ~$3, but only if you use their app and use the buy 1 get 1 deal on the big mac. Taco bell is also good about having some high calorie per dollar foods on their value menu. There’s a $2 burrito that comes out to like 600 calories. You could always swap out the meat for black beans if you want it a little healthier perhaps.
