With the latest issues of Time Out and New York Magazine featuring cover stories on Cheap Eats, it was only a matter of time before The 405 Club — full of deal seekers, recessionistas and nutritionistas — had to compile our own list of the real Cheap Eats.

As you know The 405 Club loves to take care of our members, so not only is the member-generated list going to benefit everyone, there’s a special incentive for those who contribute.  Submitting a Cheap Eats meal will enter you to win a $50 gift certificate to the budget friendly, best brunch in Brooklyn [see 405 Club review here], Aunt Suzie’s located at 247 5th Ave in Brooklyn [official site link].  $50 can get you a lot of food there and a well deserved opportunity to put down the PB&J, take off your pajamas, and put on your favorite dining out attire.

So please, rack your brain/stomach and let us know where to find the very best cheap eats meal with the best value, without sacrificing quality.

• The contest ends Monday, August 10, 2009 at 11:59pm. A winner will be chosen soon thereafter and you will be contacted via email to claim your $50 gift certificate to Aunt Suzie’s Restuarant.
• Be sure to include your email address on the answer line below, not just the email field.
• Please specify whether your meal is for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.
• By submitting your favorite Cheap Eats meal you are consenting the public use of your entry by The 405 Club and Aunt Suzie’s.
• Good luck! $50 goes a long way for food - that’s almost 1/8th of your weekly unemployment insurance!
• Spread the word - if your friend wins they can take you to dinner! We’ve got plenty of social bookmarks below to help share via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Wordpress and more… Remember, sharing means caring!
