How to eat cheap in Paris?

Great question.
To eat in London on the cheap, we can look at some restaurant at low price.
London is filled with marvelous restaurants with amazing variety, it won't be hard for you to find a good restaurant by using smart search engines of restaurants:
Ex: http://restaau.co.uk
It can help you to filter search results easily by different aspects such as Cuisines, Distance, Price, Dinning Options, Good For, Star…View details of a restaurant with telephone, location, photos, description and reviews from internet community about that restaurant.
You can make sure you've got the latest information for nearly 90,000 restaurants across most of cities in UK.

Lol mixed up in their spam.

Take canned foods with you and save a lot of money. Horrifying, I
know. I had some friends that went to Tokyo for a week and took a
suitcase full of canned foods. They were fearful they'd have to eat
!RAW FISH! or nothing.

They are a strange--but frugal--couple.

When I was young, I knew a former WAAC who had been stationed in Japan
after WWII. She lived there for two years, and never even SAMPLED
Japanese food! (True, we don't all have the same tastes in food, but TWO
YEARS without even TRYING the native cuisine?)

I have met US servicemen who never left the base when they were in Europe.

Indeed I knew a US liaison officer from CSU Edzell who claimed he
couldn't get a US Navy driver to bring him down to Scarborough in
Yorkshire until US style fast food establishments opened in the town.

Sounds like most of the soldiers and families in the US bases around
Stuttgart back in the mid/late 80s. I believe (was told by a couple of
soldiers on separate occasions) they were actively discouraged from
mingling with the natives, even out of uniform and the families too. Best
stay on the base. They had everything they need there anyway, even down to
imported American milk.
There were one or two shopping centres which were near bases and were
popular shopping places for the soldiers and their families, but on the
whole they were hardly ever seen or heard off base.
Any Americans around were most likely tourists.

That's even MORE weird! Japanese food may have appeared too exotic to a
WAAC from the American Midwest, but a great many "American" foods
originated with German-American immigrants to the U.S.

If you want to eat cheap in Paris, don't get slightly away of the
tourists spots and eat were the people who work in town eat (workday
lunch only). For example, near Opera, the streets north of Boulevard
Lafayette contain a number of reasonable small restaurants.
If you want to eat very cheap, buy some sandwiches in shops like ED, but
don't come back and say you were disappointed. Very cheap is rarely very
good.
This said, there are still a number of cafés where you can eat a very
decent typical /plat du jour/ for a decent price, the price and the
quality vary madly from one café to the next.
If you want to eat typical French food for reasonable prices, visit Lyon
(2 hours by train from Paris), and even better the surrounding region
from Lyon to Clermont-Ferrand. I recently ate some very nice French food
for a very reasonable price in an Hotel at Chambon sur Lignon.

That was certainly my experience. Just walk a couple blocks in any
direction of major tourist trap areas and you are likely to get
excellent food for a fraction of the price.

On our last trip to France we spent a couple days in Reims and had
wonderful food and it was very reasonable. Hotels were a lot cheaper
too. We also spent a couple nights in Verdun and the food there was good
and downright cheap.

London is generally more expensive than Paris. But they really have a
takeaway culture which Paris does not, from Pret a Manger to Marks and
Spencer and other supermarket chains with good prepared foods.
