Can u survive on a 2 dollar/day budget? What would it groceries look like?

[Anonymous No.14521805]

Probably yesterday I did
>woke up at 3 PM
>made a some kind of brunch with some biscuits, snacks and iced tea
>dinner at 9 PM
>pasta with tomato sauce

No more than $2 for breakfast/launch/dinner

[Anonymous No.14521827]

I can survive on a dollar a day budget. Groceries would look like rice, canned vegetables, and Wegmans samples. If you eat a potato a day you can survive, literally, on a sack a month.

Fast then eat chicken and Broccoli at dinner. Cost about $25 a week.

[Anonymous No.14521833]

Push come to shove, I've decided I could easily eat a can of beans a day if I need to. 14 cans, bag or two of rice, and maybe two dozen eggs. Will be like what? 30ish dollars?
That shit will last me two weeks, easy.

You can survive on a lot less.
Porridge made with oats, sugar and water for breakfast.
Lunch: Any soup with bread, pref. homemade if you desire anything but toast
Dinner: If you can find meat within your remaining budget+potatoes.

Its pretty easy at 2 dollars if you are willing to only purchase cheap stuff and limit yourself to the diet of a 18th century peasant. Adjust to what is cheap in your location, in the EU it's pasta and potatoes and in the US it seems that rice is quite affordable.

just get a job, you faggot NEET

Lots of beans and rice with a bit of veg and cheapo meat to brighten it up.
Mac and cheese can be cheap. Peanut butter on 88cent a loaf bread.

That's just water weight. You'll stall, get depressed and put it back on next week :^)

Sack of russets
Bag of beans
Bag of rice
Bouillon
Eggs
Milk
Whatever meat is on sale

Obviously you start by spending $20+ dollars, but that lasts you a while and you spend bits here and there to supplement your stash of staples as you can. You can get big bags of frozen chicken for less than $1/pound.

I think it could be done
>rice
>legumes / beans
>potatoes
>onions
>carrots
>flour
>citrus
>scrap meat protein

It would rely heavily on subsistence meals until a certain mass of bulk purchases enabled more nutrient purchases. You would be eating like pre-industrial Asian rice farmers with Irish neighbors.

if dairy is cheap then gallon of milk a day. easy. price tends to fluctuate a lot for milk though.

[Anonymous No.14522342]

Rice and beans, plus veggies and extra protein if you can

Survive? Yes. Live? No.
On a more serious note, buy frozen ingredients as much as possible. Frozen leg quarters are like 25c a pound, you can buy frozen veggies at wm for a bit less than a buck per bag. Then toss in some rice, bread, and mashed potato flakes to pad it. You can buy all this for less than ten bucks and it should last longer than one week. Also buy men's vitamins at the dollar tree so you don't get vitamin deficient with the poor diet.

What about food banks? In America, people are not starving, they are generally stupid and unresourceful if they are. You can go to any food bank and get a ton of food for a set period of time, and if you are motivated you can stockpile from like, six or seven and live reasonably well.

You can also post some shit on NextDoor if you're on the strugglebus. I think it works better if you have kids, but I have seen people ask for food and people straight up give people nice shit like meat, canned goods, full dinners, you name it.

Begging in any town should net about ten USD an hour if you put on a show. But I'll fucking hate you for polluting the country and not working.

There's also hunting and fishing. Gaming and fishing licenses are cheap.

Do you have to spend $2 each day or can it just be $60 per month? You could buy a fair amount of things that don't expire for a while in bulk that could last you a month and make that money go a longer way if you are able to spend it like that.

$2 per day means McDouble with extra mayo and pickles and anything you can order extra for free, then whatever you can get from the food bank. Whoever gives you food, just convert to their religion and start gunning for a decent job, they will hook you up eventually as long as you aren’t too much of a mental case.
