mcchickens

fancy ramen for dinner with veggies and chicken
big pot of rice meat slop for lunches
something cheap and lite for breakfast

>>13344280
You force your way into an affluent home. Kill them all. Enjoy the food and comfort.

That’s my budget every week give or take a few bucks depending on what I need.

Ground beef, chicken breasts and livers. Eggs, bacon and milk. Fresh salmon filets are like $4 each. I love Jarlsberg so a block if I still need. The store near me occasionally has duck breasts on sale for $2.50 each so I’ll horde them, freeze and eventually use the fat for potatoes.

Dried beans, brown rice, in season fruits and vegetables. Lots of delicious onions, garlic, ginger

Frozen fruits for smoothies.

Oh and a shitload of cottage cheese.

>>13344280
sneed

eggs and oatmeal for breakfast, trail mix and water for work, veggie rice stir fry for dinner with egg mixed in for protein. bag of frozen chicken breasts, spices and seasonings allow for lots of variety in stir fry and last for ages. still room in the budget for a few tasty snacks and homemade pizza on the weekends

>>13344280
$7 worth of mcdonalds daily

>>13344326
u buy all that with 50 bucks?

>>13344331
Seven dollars??!! Where in the world do you live? 2 bucks a day will get you fat in America.

>>13344329
nice, good plan

>>13344280
If it was just me? $50 a week is easy. I used to live off of $25, and my dad spent $40.

is it me or did food get expensive???

>>13344349
Food got expensive and the dollar got weaker.

>>13344280
Taco Bell dollar menu, all day every day.

>>13344335

Not every week, a 10 pound bag of rice is like $12 and last a while, family pack ground beef is like $8 for 3 pounds where I live, chicken breasts are like $9 for 5lbs and fuck it you can get a whole roaster for even less, have a bunch of shredded chicken dishes, roast the bones to make stock and end up with soup.

>>13344349

Some stuff that was previously frowned upon like Ox Tails became hipster popular and now the prices went way up.

>>13344280
Transformed shit is usually quite expensive if you look at the actual portion size/nutrition. Basic ingredients are the cheapest and (at least where I live) most are not taxed. Bake your own bread. Potatoes. Cheapest veggies/fruits you can find. Milk. Eggs. Beans. Deenz. Look for discounts on these particular items.

Two pounds of cheap chicken or other protein if on sale
Few pounds of potatoes or rice
An onion and a pepper
A loaf of bread
A pound of deli meat and some cheese
A dozen eggs
Pound of bacon
And you should have about $20-30 left over for sundrys

>>13344360
You're not kidding. The price jumped to the same as beef filet mignon.

>>13344280
I survive best on the basis of keeping a variety of healthy staples in the kitchen. I rotate these out:
>Rice
>Homemade bread
>Broccoli (fresh or frozen)
>Carrots
>Onion
>Head of cabbage
>Potato/Sweet potato
>Two choices of fresh fruit per week (IE buy apples and bananas)
>One cheap cut of meat that will yield several servings. I like whole chicken legs with bone
>A snack food choice
>Eggs
>Large container of yogurt
>Pasta and a jar of sauce
You can mix and match ingredients to use the same things for all 3 meals and snacks, you just have to be willing to cook and prepare everything yourself. A favorite cheap meal of mine is Slow cooker Pork Neck bones
>Water
>Chopped onion
>Carrot
>Collards or mustard greens
>Package of pork neck bones (Cost less than 3$)
>Hot sauce and seasonings.
Cheap and filling. Pork neck bones create delicious broth and also have a serving of delicious fatty meat on each cut. You get a lot for very cheap

>>13344343
thats the frugality that i need lol
>>13344356
i need to start looking at coupons and sales

>>13344364
good point
>>13344369
thats doable
>>13344374
thanks

>>13344376

I don’t even use that many coupons, I’m not sure if this is everywhere but my local chain (Stop and Shop) closes at 11 but the fish and meat departments shut down at 9. They’ll put the stuff that is getting close to expired out on the front shelves with a discount sticker (30-60%) and so I go at like 9:30. Most people see it and think “omg expiration date is close that must mean I’ll die” and ignore it so I just grab a shitload of discount protein and freeze it.

>>13344280
>how would you feed yourself on a $50/week budget?
Church or local food bank, honestly. That's not quite enough. Cut back on gas by riding your bike around or carpooling. Stop all frivolous spending, no alcohol, no cigarettes, etc. Get a second job.

You're going to get by only by supplementing from somewhere else. It's not going to work, otherwise. Forget what anyone else says, they're not including their WHOLE budget. Beans, rice, sardines not tuna, $1 bread, margarine, eggs, cereal, milk, bags of frozen veggie medleys. Alternate bags of apples with oranges or bananas. Protein is the tough one, but you'l find sales to buy big 12 packs of chicken breasts or whole loins, and you'll use your freezer to grab them. Smoky garbage sausages and ham will add flavor. Shop where Hispanics shop for the bags of beans and rice and some of the aromatics you want, bags of onions, potatoes, tomatoes that aren't $2/ez, and get the loss leader items at that given stores sale that week. For instance, pharmacies can have the cheapest milk price. Dollar has cheapest bread price. Wal-mart grocery slashes hot deli meat to half off about an hour before closing. Etc.

>>13344349
it's rough out there

>>13344407
thorough, thanks

>>13344407
Unless OP means they only have $50 a week for EVERYTHING, not just food, then $50 is more than doable. I go to the store once a week and spend less than that and I don't eat out or get fast food. Just obviously don't go for shit that's too pricey, like frozen meals, expensive meats, etc.

>>13344280

Quite easily actually.

3 tins of sardines or herrings, one package of rye crackers, a jar of pickled cabbage and a dozen eggs.

Eating 3 times per day is a myth, in fact eating every day is also not required at all.

>>13344280
i'd buy at least 7 limes

Why do you eat like a medieval peasant?

>>13344280
FUCK I AM SO ANGRY GET OFF OF /CK/ JUN YOU IRREDEEMABLE PIECE OF SHIT

>>13344280
Get a big chest freezer, learn to bulk buy the basics and budget longer term. You can easily eat well on less than that. Without a good efficient freezer, you can still do it, but you will have to accept fewer options. If you really want to eat cheap as shit above all else and have no way to preserve food in bulk, train yourself to eat one meal per day or every other day and pig out at your local shelter.

Make pork loin and egg casserole.

>>13344280
I already feed myself on $35/week so $50/week sounds great.

>>13344280
>Buy sirloin butt for 50 dollars
>Eat steak/stew for a week and a half
>Get massive gains

>>13344568
wat do u buy?

A dozen eggs are a dollar. A loaf of bread is a dollar. Fruits and vegetables are less than a dollar. Welcome to Texas. Meat is laughably inexpensive.

>>13344280
Damn. I didn't realize it was $50 per week. I was thinking $50 per month.
$200 per month, heck. Go hog wild.

>>13344613
white rice, eggs, and whatever meat happens to be on the best sale.

I usually buy like 2 months worth of rice in one go.

I also buy butter when it goes on sale and keep it in the freezer. I currently have 15lbs i bought at $1.50/lbs

>>13344280
Easy. This would be my list for the first week: milk, eggs, bread, cheese, cream of wheat, blackberry jam, a box of Earl Grey tea bags, ham, butter, stuff to make a big salad to last the week (head of lettuce, two english cucumbers, vidalia onion, croutons) caesar dressing, a pack of those Little Debbie Christmas cakes, a bottle of egg nog, a pizza for Friday night, and a box of Stouffer's frozen mac and cheese for Sunday night. Right under $50.

>Breakfast
Eggs and toast, cream of wheat, or toast and jam.
>Lunch
I don't eat lunch often. I could get to dinner easily without being hungry if I just drank some milk.
>Dinner
Salad and ham or grilled cheese sandwich, pizza, or mac and cheese.
>Dessert
Those little cakes or a glass of egg nog.
>Late night
Have a cup of hot tea before bed.

Put it in a blender and drink the sludge. I've lived entire months like this with nothing else. Just be sure to keep a good exercise regiment and stay hydrated or your poo will be like a cannonball. Once you have money again take a multivitamin supplement immediately as you're sure to be deficient in something.

>>13344280
$50/wk is twice what I budget for myself. Go to Aldi's or DG nigger.

My wife and I eat pretty diverse meals on $40 a week for both of us, so $50 a week for just one person would be absolutely lavish.

>>13344335
Not that anon, but you'd be surprised how much money you can save when you plan your ingredients to roll down into multiple meals, keep certain key items stocked in bulk, and cook for yourself. This goes double if you don't insist on having meat every single meal, or being the principle ingredient of every meal.

Ground sirloin beef is like $4.40/lb. One pound can make two meals, which can each make 4 servings pretty easily. Something my wife and I will do will be to get the stuff to make salisbury steak and mashed potatoes (non-stock ingredients: ground beef, white onion, white potatoes; stock ingredients: garlic, milk, flour, salt, pepper, beef bouillon, butter, olive oil, seasonings) using half a pound of ground beef. The other half a pound of ground beef will go into beef and been taquitos (non-stock ingredients: ground beef, black beans, tortillas, cheese; stock ingredients: seasonings, oil). The rest of the onion and part of the potatoes will end up in curry and rice. We'll usually get a two-breast pack of chicken to katsu fry one breast to go with the curry and rice. The other chicken breast will be slow cooked, shredded, and become the base for enchiladas, using most of, or the rest of, the tortillas. If there are any tortillas left, my wife fries them into chips. The rest of the beans will wind up as a side or a component of another dish somehow, and so on.

Plan your ingredients to roll down into other meals, and it gets super cheap very quickly. We typically feed both of us off of $40-50 a week like this.
I suppose it should be mentioned that my wife and I aren't exactly heavy eaters. We eat normal portion sizes and normal quantities for the most part. Usually, when someone tells me this sort of planning doesn't work for them, it's because they're fat and over eat. No shame, just statement of fact.

Get some prepackaged tempeh, split pea soup, carton of eggs. 2 boxes of greens, some chia/flax/hemp seeds/guacamole. All of that shouldn’t cost more than 42 dollars. All of the raw ingredients can make about 7 days of leftovers if you skip breakfast or lunch. Maybe with the remaining 8 dollars, you could buy a 12-pack of protein bars or bread.

Taco bell. You can get 2k calories worth of nutrition for like $3 a day with a ton of variety. Twice a week you can get the gourmet Wendys shit and eat healthy.

50 uhh, in what country's dollars? anyway that's plenty if it's just you. What you don't want to do is be a hand-to-mouth retard about it, some things are long term buys like a big bag of good rice/pasta and based condiments/spices, weekly shit is meat/produce, if you've lived in your city for a while you know which supermarkets are good for which items. Get a fuckin tupperware container or something for transit if you gotta eat away from home.

$50 a week is easy.

>5 pounds of chicken thighs
>12 eggs
>4 pounds of dried beans
>4 pounds of brown rice
>2 cans of whole tomatoes
>5 pounds of potatoes
>2 pounds of carrots
>6 pounds of frozen vegetables (peas, broccoli, corn, spinach)
>3 pounds of apples
>2 pounds of frozen berries
>a pound of oats
>a jar of peanut butter
>30 corn tortillas
>a pound of butter
>a gallon of whole milk

All of this comes out to a little under $50, and I would have no trouble making this last 2 weeks.
The second week's budget could easily go to salt, spices, flour, sugar, oil, vinegar, etc. and I'd still have enough left over for a week's worth of quality /deenz/.

Cauliflower-cheese, roughly $10 for four servings
Pork slabs, about $3 each, so $12 for four

Chicken quesadillas, about $15 for four

Diet soda, $1 per day
Still have $6 to spend on chocolate candy bars.

I do keto/OMAD so that's really about all I need.

Normies in the modern world have never experienced hunger. They're literally too fat and have never fasted even trivial amounts.

$50/wk is not difficult at all for a single adult. Buy what's on sale and not necessarily what you're craving.

I think I do see some leftover Chinese in there

I'm feeding myself for $10.

10lb Chicken $6, rice $2.35. If I'm feeling ballsy I may get some garlic or potatoes.

The only time I go over $10 is for spices.

>>13344349
food has never been cheaper, everyone just wastes more money on pointless shit that's somehow "vital" now, $700 phones, spending hundreds on avocados, brand clothes, travelling etc
In the 70s it was normal to spend 40% of your money on food and 50% on your rent, you had to save money for everything

This. Beef tongue used to be the price of ground beef when I was buying it 5 years ago. Now it costs almost as much as ribeye.

buy fresh produce and meat and cooking simple but delicious dishes. pretty much like now.

yall haters

the fresh moz was from the foodbank. trader joes left a bunch of expire-able stuff, there in the morning and i grabbed it around 11am, it was still cloudy and cool. i then let it sit in the back of my truck in a shaded corner under a cold soaked rag.

the otherday i made these three sandwiches,
bread, and sauteed carrot, onion, peppers and these three sausage patties i got frozen from the foodbank
ive had like 9 of those patties over the past month and never got sick but the last three sausage patty sandwiches got the three of us diaherreha later in the day, what the heck? im thinking there was something spoiled on the cast iron

Relative to inflation the price of food has been steady for a very long time in the developed world. Food scarcity pretty much ended after the 60s with the exception of really war-torn areas and hellish backwoods. I used to work with an NGO that was "fighting hunger," in "food scarce communities," and 99% of what they were dealing with was baby momma being too high on drugs to give free food to baby. That's literally the only way to starve to death in a first world country today.

$50 on scratcher tickets and hope for at least double money back. If not, trash can food will suffice.

This is more than I allow myself now and I eat fine.

go to walmart

1 loaf of GV white bread: $0.80
1 dozen GV eggs medium: $0.98
1 box of GV spaghetti (pot sized): $0.98
1 jar of Ragu sauce: $1.28
1 1lb block of GV cheddar cheese: $1.48
canned veggies range but are usually under $1 each. you can also get frozen veggies for around $1 too if you don't want all the sodium.
1 lb of cheap bologna: $0.89

So now you have breakfast, toast and eggs. Or just toast. You have some veggies for lunch and dinner, and at least 2-3 nights of pasta. This should be under $15 so far depending on how many veggies you got. The next step is meat, but that's going to blow your budget really quick. Walmart sells 10lb bag of leg quarters for $5. But quality control is pretty bad and each quarter varies widely in weight/size. Have one quarter (leg + thigh) per meal. Or separate to stretch it out more. Save the bones for stock.

Chicken will get old pretty fucking quick but, unfortunately, other options are more expensive. You can probably get a good sized pack of pork chops for under $10. But it won't be near 10lbs of meat. I suggest you get to the store around 7-8 am when they mark down all the meats from the night before. You can find some good deals. Every store does this so shop around if you can afford the gas. A regional chain near me sometimes puts ground pork for less than $1 per lb. It's insane how you can stretch that. I fed myself for two weeks on $15 of meat once time.

This all assumes you already have spices and condiments. I'm afraid it's even slimmer pickens until you build up your spice cabinet. Cheap spices will have anti-caking agents which also act as filler. So you'll have to use more. Usually the mccormick shit is overpriced. Try visiting independent ethnic grocery stores for spices. They can also have good meat deals sometimes too. Just make sure you cook everything well and wash your hands.

You can go the beans and rice route, but I find just smothering yourself in tons of rice makes it harder.

I feed myself on $10 worth of potatoes every month.

I feed myself on 48$ a week budget. I eat a lot of toast.

>>13344280
Like a fucking king, i would eat beef steaks 5 times a week, fish in the Friday and a lot of veggies everyday.

>>13344280
50 bucks a week for one person? Jesus, that's a lot.

Brekkie: eggs and toast less than a buck a day
Lunch: salads, sandwiches, leftovers - maybe 2 bucks a day
Dinner: chicken thighs, pork chops, chicken legs, spring for a pork shoulder one week and eat it sporadically over 10-ish days, etc. Have rice or noodles and some frozen veggies. Maybe 3 bucks a day.

~~40 dollars a week, leaving 10 for the occasional upgrade.

15 large slices of ny style pizza: free
30bean,rice, potato, free vegtable and free salsa burritos

cost about 1.50dollars worth of wax paper and foil to freeze them all
a dollars worth of beans, a dollars worth of rice and maybe $3bucks on extras like tomato paste and seasoning
maybe 4 dollars worth of tortillas if not free

sandwiches with pickled veggies, italian meats and cheese are expensive for me... i can make maybe 2or3or4 huge muffelata sammiches but itll cost like $12 worth of ingredients. bread is always free

I spend more like 90 to feed a household of two, but 50's really doable.
A lot of eggs, onions, beans, big pre-packaged things of meat you cut up and freeze yourself, canned tomatoes, potatoes, irregular bacon, whatever's on sale, etc.
If you have a pressure cooker you can make yogurt for about a tenth the price.
Soups stretch ingredients out.
Make shit to go on top of rice- because rice is nice n' cheap.

>>13344280
Eggs, potatoes, parsley, butter, coffee, half and half, carrots, parmesean, pasta and cheap tinned seafood like clams or anchovies. Pretty easy.

>canned anything
Wasted money. Go with the large family sized frozen bags of veg. You get a lot more per dollar there. Mixed veg bags are the best value and most have a good bit of corn so you can be more judicious with your starch ration at meal time.
>bologna
Steer completely clear of that trash and stick with bulk meats. Chicken and pork specials are the best. IF you can't get those, just stick with cheap PB until meat is available at a better price. Organ meat at-least bi-monthly to ensure you are good on vitamins and minerals. You don't need a lot.

I work at Kroger so prices are accurate and NOT including 10% discount (most everything stated is store or private Selection brand though)
18 eggs 1.79
24 oz pack thick bacon 7.99
Loaf of whole grain bread PS 1.99
That's six breakfasts for 12 bucks
Pound Italian sausage 2.99
Pound ground beef 3.49
One pound dry pasta 1.00
3 bolillo rolls 75 cents
That's 6 dinners for 8.25
Two pieces of fried chicken x 5 = 15.00
That's my work lunches
32 pack water 3.50
So there's like 11 bucks left to cover 2 meals (don't eat lunch on non work days) plus some added veggies or fruit to supplement. Bananas and spinach are cheap so usually get those.

Poorfag detected.

Assuming you have oil/seasoning and nothing left over. Veg is incredibly cheap. Meat is where your wallet takes a hit. Everything in pic related is from Walmart so I'm assuming those prices are the same across the country, at least.

Kroger is a ripoff. No offense to you, but they're also the lowest paying grocer on average. Fill out an application for any of their competitors, Walmart even pays better.

Your best way to live on poverty-tier food income is finding out who and where the almost expired shit it sold or given away. Discount grocer, discount baker, food pantry, soup kitchen, local farmers markets tend to toss more than you think at the end of a weekend. There are also seasonal events. You map that shit out and you can feed a family on a budget so damn small you're practically being paid to eat.

one slug oughta do it

Protip: buy a tin of baking powder and powdered milk, making your own bread and baked goods is tasty and far better kcal/dollar than any other starch unless you buy in mega-bulk. You lose a little on energy cost to bake but its negligible unless your $/kWh is obscene.

I don't get why this whole thread is pretending that $50 a week is cheap lol

>>13344280
Beans and rice and meat. $50 for one person is a lot, you could practically live off of McDonalds with that kind of money.

Don't I know it. The fucking union contract is a joke. But it's the best paying place I can easily walk to and the difference between other places doesn't make up for car payment/insurance/gas. If an HEB opens close I'll be the first in line to apply and deal with the Uber costs.

Make meals in bulk. I make all my breakfast for like $10 and prepare it all on Sunday. Then I just reheat in the mornings. Could do the same for Lunch and Dinner but I prefer not to. Figure out what you want for that week tho and just buy the ingredients meals should last multiple days.

>>13354273
This. Meal prepping is a money saving and, overall, time saving venture. Takes me an hour and a half to two hours to make a weeks worth of food and then ~2 minutes to reheat them.

>>13353021
booze and sleep medication of course

>>13345703
This is what I get minus the grains and other starches. I'd add more eggs and some bulk cheese to go on the tortilla.

>>13344280
Easily. I don't eat breakfast or lunch so that's 50$ for 7 dinners which is fucking cake to shop around for.

>>13344280
Go to a buffet with your backpack and fill it up. If you have cargo shorts like most gentlemen do you can easily fill those up. I also fill my fanny pack with apple sauce and mashed potatoes. I can eat for a week on $9.99

>>13344280
Behind the bus stop that I frequent there is a homeless camp so I give blow jobs to all the hobos and swallow which gives me a good amount of protein and makes you feel full. The bus ticket is only €1 round trip so I only spend €7 per week. 30 blow jobs per day really isn't that bad once you've had practice

"Not necessarily", e.g, stevia (though sometimes after adaptation).

Just because you don't need a shit ton of protein doesn't mean you need all those carbs

I feed myself on a 50/month budget

>>13344675
That's way too much to eat in a single week, are you crazy?

>>13347494
Is that supposed to be a good thing? Why the fuxk do I want half my paycheck to go to food

>>13344420
>Just obviously don't go for shit that's too pricey, like frozen meals, expensive meats, etc.
Might as well tell me to not eat anything.
Anything which requires more than 15min of prep by me is not going to be made. I'm just going to go hungry, and be pissed off at being hungry and shitpost even more on /ck/ as a consequence.

>>13344280
$50 of milk and potatoes/week
Cheese, sour cream, butter, milk, potatoes, and if there’s leftover money i’d buy onions/garlic to eat with my fuckin potatoes

>>13344292
"No."

>>13355662

>>13344280
I'm Asian so it's easy, 50lb bag of rice and whatever cheap meats I can grab, spam, hillshire sausage, corned beef, chicken nuggets. Buy some onion, garlic, tomato on the side to cover produce intake, carton of eggs, and I'm set.

>>13355668

>>13355669
Where can you buy a 50lb bag

>>13355671
This could really fuck your shit up if you dont already eat a large number of eggs consistently and it ends up being absorbed a shitload

>>13353980
modern consumer bread is enriched with actual nutrients though as opposed to your own bread which is pretty much just calories and nothing else

A kilo of well cut beef is 300. I'd buy 10 kg of beef and 500 gram butter and go on carnivore diet

Sausage, bacon, eggs, hummus, naan, bananas, cereal, vanilla soy milk, dragonfruit, rice, refried beans, corn tortillas, either some ground beef or pork, probably get some snack stuff, potatoes, onions. Assuming I have stocked oil and spices already in this scenario probably get some butter. Last few bucks would go towards veggies needed for different dishes, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, etc

>>13344280
Rice, beans, chicken, broccoli, milk.

I'd spend half of that, or perhaps even less, per week.

Asian grocers for sure.
Costco.
Other warehouse grocers.

>>13344280
Done it and...

Fried egg sandriches
Frozen hamburger patty sandwiches
off brand potato chips.
a piece of fresh produce here and there.

>>13358471
Costco and all the other wholesale clubs are a scam. Local markets are the way to go. Walmart if you don't have one. Any grocery chain if you don't want to enter a Walmart.

>>13358499
>scam
As long as you save at least the cost of membership they aren't at all.

>>13344352
Food did not get more expensive, it's actually cheaper compared to the pre-inflated prices. The dollar is just that weak.

Meal prep would be good shit.
Chicken, rice, various veggies, and you lose weight while you're at it.

>>13358535
Cost of membership works out to $5/month by the way. I save that much simply by shopping at a WinCo instead of Fred Meyer.

>>13358499
Costco isn’t a scam

>>13358555
Winco is though unless you’re buying meat, freddies would be cheaper otherwise.

Wholesale clubs are one of the few places you can buy minimally processed meat not injected with a 10% saline/chemical solution.
