Cheap eats. Actually cheap.

Yes, Iceland is expensive. A sandwich can cost what a hotel room costs at home. But people live here on Icelandic wages, and they eat out, so there are ways: lunch windows, hot dogs, bakeries, soup that counts as dinner. This is the list locals use. We'd rather share it than watch you pay 7,000 kr for a burger on the main street.

Straight from the app. Get Icebreaker for a live countdown to each deal window, and a map.
