Honestly if you've got your badge and room paid for you can get by at anime north with basically no money at all. There are water stations EVERYWHERE which you can use to hydrate yourself, and it's actually relatively easy to make all of your own meals in a hotel room. Merch will eat up a lot of your money, but eating out will eat up more and you won't leave with anything to show for it. If you do not bring any food at all, you need to buy ~6 meals for probably at least $10 each at the places in the area (other than Harveys or Subway?). If you want to save money my suggestion would be to try to get to a grocery store. bring a loaf of bread and some meat/cheese for sandwiches, a couple of cup ramen (there are usually kettles in the rooms for tea), and maybe some stuff that is easy to microwave, as well as snacks and drinks.

This might not apply so much to Izzy who is coming from far away, but people driving in could hit up a grocery store in Toronto before arriving at the hotel
