<p><P><P>CEDAR POINT UNDER $6 &#8211; You made your plans and bought tickets for Cedar Point, so now you are excited for a day in the park! You hop in the vehicle, drive however many hours it takes to get you to Cedar Point, and realize, you only have $20 in your wallet, so what will you eat all day? </p>
<p>Lets take a trip around the park and see what dining options are available for less than $6, to help you spread out your money throughout the day. <em>(Note: You may be asking yourself why we chose $6 instead of $5. We originally wrote this article around the $5 concept, but price increases in 2016 made several of the items obsolete.)</em></p>
<p>1) Locate a stand or cart selling Bosco sticks, and get 2 pepperoni filled for $5.29.</p>
<p>2) Lots of stands and carts throughout the park sell novelty ice creams such as a Crunch bar or ice cream sandwich from $5.29-5.99 each. This includes chocolate covered frozen bananas!</p>
<p>3) Is there anything like a freshly made <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/auntie-annes/">Auntie Anne&#8217;s pretzel</a>, hand crafted right in front of you? Get yours for $5.39 (Original) or $5.89 (Cinnamon) when visiting Cedar Point. No butter or no salt options also available upon request.</p>

<p>4) Here is a little known secret not many people know about. You paid for parking at the front gate, and that $20* was factored into your trip costs (*Price could vary on the day of your visit). However, did you know that if you go over to <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/bay-harbor/">Bay Harbor</a>, they will reimburse you the cost of parking with purchase? </p>
<p>That means $20 worth of &#8220;free&#8221; food that you already paid for but did not know about. Enjoy any of the appetizers, soups, or salads, and $20 for parking will be taken off your bill. </p>
<p>5) You may not be able to touch a funnel cake sundae for under $6, but you can still indulge with <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/funnel-cake-fries-cart/">Funnel Cake Fries</a>. There are currently two stands in Cedar Point offering these freshly made and tempting treat for $4.99.</p>
<p>6) Visit <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/los-gatos-cafe/">Los Gatos Cafe</a> in the back of Cedar Point, and get a taco filled with meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato for only $2.99.</p>
<p>7) On a warm day, purchase a cake cone filled with frozen custard from <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/coaster-creamery-frozen-custard/">Coaster Creamery</a> ($5.39) or <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/engine-company-3-frozen-custard/">Engine Company No. 3</a> ($5.29).</p>
<p>8) Cotton candy can be purchased at the <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/park-food-guides/cedar-point-food/high-energy-station/">High Energy Station</a>, for $4.29.</p>
<p><img src="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/140628-Cedar-Point-Cotton-Candy-1024x681.jpg" alt="140628 Cedar Point Cotton Candy" width="625" height="416" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3481" /></p>
<p>9) <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/park-food-guides/cedar-point-food/boardwalk-fries/">Boardwalk Fries</a> will only cost you $4.99, while their counterpart at the Fresh Cut Fries stands will cost you $6.89. A substantial savings! </p>
<p>10) Cedar Point expanded their fresh fruit availability in 2014. Now you can purchase sliced fruit cups for $5.29, with a variety of offerings like strawberries, pineapple, and grapes at both <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-point-food/coca-cola-marketplace-cedar-junction/">Coca-Cola Marketplace</a> and the <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/fresh-cut-fruit-cart/">Fresh Cut Fruit stand</a>.</p>

<p>11) Panda Express offers an A La Carte menu for $3.40 each. Select from a chicken egg roll, 2 veggie spring rolls, or 3 cream cheese rangoons.</p>
<p>Bonus Tip: While this option will cost you a little more than $5, the souvenir popcorn bucket is $7.29 upfront, but then refill it for only $0.99 all season. This makes the popcorn bucket a tremendous value when refilling several times.</p>
