cheap overpriced sushi

Deeply inauthentic but cool-looking Japanese conveyor-belt based restaurant chain Yo Sushi! is offering more recession-based bogof action.

See how cheap overpriced sushi can be, especially when you have to buy a total of 10 plates for it to kick in. Thanks, Mr Woodroffe.

shitty, but cheap

So PovertyPorn’s been to Strada maybe, three times and its never been anything short of god-awful. The first time, there was sand in the mussels (I know, authentic), then the pasta was cold, then the final time, the food was okay, but it took us 5 tries and 30 minuites to pay the bill. In the end, we just got up and made like we were leaving…

But cheap(ish) food is cheap(ish) food, and Strada, like every other credit crunched restaurant with an increasingly desperate parant company (we’re looking at you, Pasta Hut) is offering 2-for-1 mains.

cheap pizza

If you like your pizza overpriced, and your Italian restaurants all faux cosmopolitan (and we do), Pizza Express is luring punters in with 2-for-1 main courses. PovertyPorn went with a party of 8, and our overfriendly waitress didn’t blink when we offered up four vouchers.

Of course, she had just hammed up a veggie order with actual ham,  but the point remains: cheap(ish), tony pizza.
