St. Urbain Bagels
Lately, much to my dismay, I've been so busy I've had to buy snacks and meals out. For a broke vegetarian, this is not so easy. (I try to brown-bag it, but I don't even have time to buy groceries).
St. Urbain at the St. Lawrence market to the rescue. Fresh bagels - warm, delicious, and they smell fantastic. You can buy a dozen for a mere 5.25, or you can get a slathering of cream cheese on a fresh one of your choice for 1.75.
May be the cheapest meal on offer at the market. (Though the Chinese joint downstairs ain't bad).
I went all out and did both - I've got half my dozen in the freezer and the other half means hearty sandwiches for me for the rest of the week.

they do not come close to real MTL bagels, they are tasteless, dry, overcooked, bagel-shaped bread. enjoy!
and yes, I've had 'real' bagels in Montreal with which to compare the above.
Egal ob "Montreal-Bagel" oder nicht! Und die schmecken auch ungetoastet aber frisch end lecker...

St.Urbain gives you an 80-85% version, which is pretty good.
They slip a bit now & then when volumes are highest, but even then, they are still good bread, and much better than things like the food court or grocery store varieties. Those ones aren't even good bread.
They'll keep well for 5-7 days if you pack them up & refrigerate them as soon as they are cool.
A trick for reheating, if you have a toaster oven: toast them whole, don't cut first.
