You know the drill: There's still three to four days before your sweldo slides into your bank account, and a girl's got to eat. But the beautiful thing is, you have ~*a lot*~ of affordable food options to choose from. In case you want to throw a new dish into the mix, we asked Cosmo girls for *their* go-to sulit meal.
