My boyfriend and I aren't doing so well financially and haven't been for awhile. I only have a budget of $50 a week for the two of us and I'm really struggling to make good food. A lot of days it's just rice, beans, or soup, with a little bit of chicken or sometimes beef thrown in some days. Do you guys have any tips?

That's pretty much it. Bulk up on staples like rice, beans, potatoes, and pasta. Onions are cheap, bananas are cheap, eggs are fairly cheap, bulk spices are cheap. Clip coupons, look for sales, and bargain shop.

Or switch jobs, earn more, get a side job, whatever. It's always felt weird that people would rather scrimp and save and be miserable than improve their means.

>$50 a week
Then shop bi-weekly or monthly, dumbass. Buy that big-ass bag of rice for the month. Get the 4kg log of ground beef. Buy roasts, not steaks. Don't just buy a couple cans of corn, buy the whole flat of twelve. Buy the jumbo sack of potatoes. Compare per unit prices between self-serve bulk foods and pre-packaged. Oil, salt, etc. are basic things that might cost a lot at once, but last a lot longer than just a week. There's no need to cripple your budget because "this is the week we need to buy more salt".

The whole "boohoo, poor people can survive on X dollars a week" thing is a matter of poor mentality. Your best option is to look at it from a wider perspective. Yes, you're going to give up on expensive perishable foods for awhile. You might have to give up on setting money aside in your savings for awhile, just to focus more on paying down debts and supplementing your other needs.

Remember, the second your debt goes to collections, the company is now losing money on you, and your debt can actually be bought out at a much lower cost so they can cut their losses. Getting to the point where you can consolidate your debts usually trashes your credit score, though, but it can help you get out of the hole.

And don't stop budgeting and saving once you're out of the hole. Build that buffer and fill in the hole so you won't fall in it again.

Tl;dr, shop bigger. Buy more, shop less. Heartier portions help take away the initial shock of not being able to live beyond your means.

As far as cooking tips go, stock cubes are cheap. You can crumble part of one to help intensify the flavour while cooking, but make sure to cut back on the salt.

Also a Canadian here. A lot of my high school friends were either foster or step-children, but the step-children usually claimed they had it worse. The foster children, on the other hand, had dealt with dropouts and deaths in their families to the point where the bulk of poorly-raised foster children didn't even make it into high school.
Having a kid is something that you need to mentally prepare for, and even nine months of pregnancy or however many months of paperwork is often still not enough. The people who go into it for the sake of keeping their families together or the government benefits will almost always be unprepared.

To keep this thread /ck/, I'd recommend that the OP look at what sort of condiments you prefer to keep on hand. If you have salt and pepper shakers at the dinner table, maybe consider keeping those in the cupboard instead. Seasoning your dishes with the flavours you like during cooking or before serving them will use less of your more expensive one-time-buy ingredients like salt, spices, and condiments.

Fuck, I was rewatching that the other day. It wasn't even so much about making them taste good as it was getting people to stop going "lol, boil the beans, strain and serve with salt". Even a light dressing makes them addictively tasty.

I'm still against adding them to hot pasta or soup, but they're a great cheap addition if you're batch-making some cold pasta salad.

To spice things up, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika in bulk can take you a long way. Garlic is always a solid bet.

This is what I just bought for 50 bucks (plus a gallon of milk). Just be clever with shopping at look for deals (like ten dollar frozen pizzas for 3 bucks or 3 dollar protein shakes for 99 cents).

>$50 per week.

This should be more than enough for you guys with just a little bit of planning. It's good that your instinct is to ask for advice when you suspect you could do better - absolutely no shame in that. People who focus on improving will always improve and people who don't generally won't.

Your to-do list:
1. Now, set aside an hour and a half this weekend to do some simple grocery planning with your bf.
2. Decide together roughly what you want to eat throughout the coming week and find out which of those things can be made in very large portions, frozen and reheated for things like lunches, excursions of whatever.
3. Figure out what foodstuff you need that you can buy in bulk and buy that in bulk.
4. Figure out which stores near you are the cheapest without their quality becoming terrible. If you live in So-Cal I can advice you that Vallarta is great for meat, produce an bulk products like rice, pasta and so on. Also, if you like offal food they have very cheap cuts for that as well.
5. Do your shopping and always remember to not pick things up that you did not agree to get for food. Buy fresh things soon before cooking and buy all the dry goods in one go.

Once this new habit has started to take shape, you should notice your money lasts longer and gets you more.

Pro-tip: if you guys have a hard time not using food money for other things like snacks, sodas, games, tickets etc. Then decide on your budget, put it in cash in an envelope in the kitchen, and agree that neither of you may touch the envelope except for when you go get groceries or in real emergencies.

Just some stuff from the top of my head but you should be able to get a lot out of $50 per week. Make sure you don't go to Bristol Farms or the likes for no good reason: if you can buy the same tomatoes at the 99 cent store or Vallarta for a third of the price then why not just do that?

Good luck and eat well!

Some good advice about shopping in here, so here are a few cheap cooking tricks I always use:

* Caramelize onions. Dice a few onions, oil a pan and put them on low heat with the lid on. Stir every 10-15 minutes. They take 1-2 hours to caramelize, you should see them turning a translucent soft instead of crisping when you fry them. These things are a magic ingredient, you can put them in soups, sauces, casseroles, anything. Mom liked to put them in cheesy potatoes and gravy, Dad liked to use them in a cheater's Chicken Fricassee, I like to put them in soups.

* Get some indian spices. Not sure where you are, but odds are good there's an Indian market near you. Don't buy them at a mainstream supermarket, always overpriced. You can buy them cheap from an Indian market and make a lot of things with them. Especially if you're eating a lot of beans and rice, it's a good way to add variety. You'd probably be fine with coriander, turmeric, paprika, and a little cardamom. Don't overdo it if you really can't, but if you look around you can find spices for cheap.

* Get some vegetables frozen. In my experience spinach and peas are just as good frozen and are usually cheaper. Peas I flash-boil for a minute and douse in cold water, then finish with a little butter/pepper/salt and some sauteed onions. Spinach I melt with a little cream and then bake in the oven with some cheese.

* Watch some French cooking videos, a lot of French cooking is based on cheap peasant food if you avoid the high brow stuff. Mirepoix (onions, celery, carrots) is the basis of a lot of gravies and sauces.

* Get good at baking. Few things are cheaper than modern carbs, homemade bread is delicious, crust turns into delicious pies, cornbread is delicious, cakes are delicious.

* Buy some bulk meats. Not sure where you are but meats are generally cheaper in bulk. Don't go for the chicken breasts, get the whole chicken, don't get ground beef, get a roast.

Generally when you don't have money you need to spend more time. You can do it anon, you can eat well on $50 a week, if you spend a little more time cooking and thinking about what to make you can compensate for your budget. It's how people have been cooking for thousands of years, and there are lots of resources for you to consider.

Honestly, I would spend a little time watching some youtube videos about how to cook, just by watching someone different you'll realize new ideas you wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm a big fan of Julia and Jacques, but there's plenty of good stuff on youtube and the Food Channel is one of the only good channels on TV. It'll take some time and effort, but you can probably find all sorts of good meals you can make fit your budget you'd never considered before.

Also, get into couponing. If you can't get a subscription to any papers that have clippings, you can try your local church / community center, and a lot of ads can be found online now. Don't shop at just one store either, start going to multiple stores and figuring out their price differences. Every store has a few items priced cheaper than other stores, to try to draw you in. One store will have eggs less, another will have rice less, etc. Take advantage of every sale, your money will go a lot further than if you try buying the same cheap stables (rice, potatoes, onions, etc.) every week.

One final thing, you can try to develop a taste for using leftovers. Mom was always really good at this, she could always repackage old dinners as new ones. Leftover meats could go into a casserole or a soup, leftover rice could be refried, old vegetables could be mixed in with new vegetables as a medley. Frankly I was always amazed at some of the things my Mom could repurpose, she could put creamed spinach in green chile stew and it would come out delicious. Keep an open mind and taste as you go. And anything can be breaded and fried as a croquette.

Good luck anon.

Baking bread takes a bit of time though. Here's one of the fastest recipes for a no-knead type:
1. Mix around 350g flour, 3-4g of yeast and 5-7g of salt in a bowl
2. Add 250ml of warm water, mix until all is dough
3. Let it sit in a not-too-cold place for 2-3 hours
4. Preheat a big metal pot + cover in the oven to 230ish degrees C while doing 5. - make sure you don't use a pot with plastic bits or teflon
5. Take the dough (sticky as hell) out of the bowl, place it on a well-floured surface and scrape the edges toward the center so you get a roundish lump instead
6. Place the lump on baking paper and put it in the pot, cover it, bake for 30ish minutes
7. Remove lid, remove paper, bake for another 15ish minutes for a golden crust

Done in a total of maybe 4 hours. It's very forgiving with amounts and waiting/baking times.
