Food trucks occasionally pop up near the University area or on N Tryon Street, but street food is not a strong scene here; most budget eats come from fast food or grocery hot bars.
Common budget supermarkets are Food Lion, Aldi, and Walmart Neighborhood Market—all present within a few minutes' drive in the 28213 area.

The cheapest way around is CATS bus day pass ($4.40); from Charlotte Douglas Airport, a single LYNX Blue Line light rail trip to uptown costs $2.20, but you'll need a shuttle or bus from the terminal to the nearest station (often a $2.00 bus ride).
Buy groceries and cook instead of eating out every meal—meal prepping is common; use the CATS app for discounted multi-ride passes; fill your own water bottle from tap (Charlotte tap water is safe).
