From the high cost of living including mortgage and rent payments to the increase of utilities, groceries, and other essentials it can be hard to make it here in the Gallatin Valley. Throw in the fact that you have a family to take care of and feed, and for some, it can be hard to make ends meet.

Many folks said your best bet for eating on a budget is just going to the grocery store, but if you're looking for takeout or a place to go and sit down and have a meal, here are a few places locals say you should check out.

Pizza is a popular choice for locals when it comes to eating on a budget in Bozeman

Bozeman has a ton of excellent options when it comes to pizza ranging from local to chain and if you're looking for a deal, a few pizza places have you covered.  My personal favorite is Cosmic Pizza and on Friday and Saturday nights, you can get a great deal. Another popular place is Sidewall Pizza, and, when you sign up on their website, you can get a free pizza for your birthday.

For those looking to grab and go, a popular suggestion was either the pepperoni or cheese pizza at Costco, and it should be noted that you don't have to have a Costco membership to pick up a pie.

What are some of the other suggestions locals made?

The Western Cafe is a Bozeman icon when it comes to restaurants, not only is the food fantastic, but the prices are reasonable as well. Another local spot that was suggested was the 19th Hole. Old Chicago during Happy Hour was a popular choice, as is one of the delis in the different grocery stores across the area.
