A reader sent me this a while back, and I thought it would be fun. He heard about 3 Buck Bites on a radio show and thought it would be interesting to hear about good $3 and under foods in the Harrisonburg/Rockingham County area. So where are they? What can you get for $3 or less that isn’t just fast food?

It’s hard to find food for that little in Hburg.
Some ideas:
Taco truck – 3 tacos for $3
Vietopia – Banh mi sandwich for $3.50
Rocktown Weekly published a handy “Cheap Eats” article a few years ago:

Martin’s – a modest salad from the salad bar <=$3
Foot-long sub from Subway for $5, eat 6″ today, 6″ tomorrow.
I don’t consider Subway fast food.
You can get fantastic hamburger at the Produce Auction out by Martin’s Native Lumber in Dayton for $2.50. These aren’t greasy icky fast food burgers either. Fresh grilled with fresh real tomatoes and lettuce slice of cheese and some great sweet onions. Add a cup of mint tea and bring your total to $3.
I’ve never been out there, megan, but Google maps says it’s 16 minutes from my house. I may make an adventure of it someday to see what this “produce auction” is
It’s an auction for produce, plants and things like that. Many of the Old Orders sell their produce through there. The auction starts around 9 I think, and it runs Tuesdays and Fridays.
For $3.50 you can get a wonderful mini quiche at the Harrisonburg Farmers Market. Fresh local eggs and vegetables. It would definitely be enough for a meal.
