You could eat pretty well for that much actually

[Anonymous No.19048715]

invest in a quality multivitamin, do not cheap out

this is more important than any one food item you get and is actually cheaper in terms of nutrition than any food item you can buy

also beans, nigga

Listen, I know times are tough and money is tight. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice good food. You just have to be creative with what you have. Here are some ideas for cheap, but tasty meals: Ramen noodles - they may not be the healthiest, but they're cheap and filling. You can also add some veggies, eggs or meat to make it more nutritious. Rice and beans - a classic, cheap meal. You can add some spices or hot sauce to give it some flavor. Pasta with tomato sauce - pasta is cheap, and you can make your own tomato sauce with canned tomatoes, garlic, and some spices. Oatmeal - a hearty, healthy breakfast that will keep you full all morning. Add some fruit or nuts for extra flavor. Grilled cheese sandwich - all you need is bread, cheese, and butter. Simple, but delicious. Remember, just because you're on a tight budget doesn't mean you have to sacrifice taste. Get creative with what you have and you'll be surprised at how good your meals can be.

Ask your parents for money or have them cook for you. Sometimes if I don’t feel like making dinner for my wife and I, i’ll go to my grandma’s and have her make dinner.

get a job
literally everywhere is hiring because every sector is still experiencing staff shortages
get a comfy night job in a hotel or in security, $35/hr to literally just sit on your laptop all night.
or if you dont mind actually working, those construction workers at roadworks, sitting on their phones next to a "Stop Slow" sign make $80/hour.

Go to your local butcher shop and take trash meat(aka meat that nobody buys) also chicken skin
Sometimes you can make delicacies out of them

Example
People never bought tongue meat cause it was inferior but now they buy it cause muh delicacy

Get free groceries from the food bank?

Otherwise, look into couponing and rebate programs like ibotta.

I've been making vegetarian quesadillas using stuff I get from the dollar tree and grocery outlet lately. I've seen big 20 pound bags of beans for under $20 at some places.

Do you live near a university or any places of worship? I used to get free Shabbat dinner at the Jewish frat house (Hillel) every first Friday of the month. When they were closed for whatever reason, my Muslim friends would take me to the Mosque to get free food. Guardwaras, churches, buddhist temples, etc. all give out free food.

shit infograph

[Anonymous No.19049846]

Potatoes, rice, eggs if they're not overpriced, beans, spam (sparingly, it's extremely calorie dense, you only need a little bit), sardines/mackerel/other canned fish. Buy locally grown fruits and vegetables. Check the discount section for "managers special" cuts of steak and pork for a treat, maybe once a week.

Most people for all of time have lived fine on veggies and starches, just mix shit up and throw it in a bowl like stir fry. It's not hard.

You can just throw whole quail and chicken breasts at fire with salt and it tastes good. Maybe a little A1 steak sauce.

Make a net and throw it at street pigeons. If youre not willing to do this youre not even poor or hungry.

As a doctor once told me when I told him I took a multivitamin, "Eat a salad"

get this brand here. Its like .79 a pack at the AZN grocer. The poor person ramen you accustomed to will not work. Take a piece of turkey canadian bacon and boil it. boil an egg. Make the ramen and put the egg and bacon piece with it. Thats got to be under 2 dollars anywhere...there. high end ramen some jerk off would pay $20 a bowl for. Bonus if you can fry some garlic in some oil for a nice garlic oil topping.

[Anonymous No.19049932]

>>19049881
Alternately get the cheap ramen. boil the noodle and throw it in a fry pan with 3 eggs, look up an egg foo young sauce. Its just a brown gravy so even the included spice pack made into a gravy with a little starch might work. That sauce is a base sauce so you can do all kinds of things with it like chicken and broccoli.

But eggs are expensive. Network. Find rich people and ask them for a hook on eggs. Stand in front of whole foods and ask them for the egg hook up. Rich people have chickens and get eggs as a hobby. One of them is going to be able to give you the hook up. The richer the better as rich people dont care that much about eggs as a stream of income. Then you got cheap egg hook up for farm fresh well loved chicken eggs. Shit..my orange tree rained oranges and I was literally giving them away. and getting eggs now at half price from a doctor. I call her doctor eggs.

This one is good too. It has 5 spice packs and we all thought we unlocked the secrets to ramen discovering it. But its just a nice instant fried noodle that dabs on the single spice pack standard shit ramens real AZN's would refuse to eat.

if you ever had a real fruit or veggie you know the fruit and veggies at the grocer are flavorless because they have no vitamins and minerals. They price on weight not quality. I'd say eat a vitamin. And a doctor once told me heres a script for vitamin C tablets and Iron supplements after my blood work came up low and anemic. Possibly malnourishment. Possibly lead or malaria induced anemia. I dont know. He didnt tell me. And I just deciphered the script for "medicine pills"

If it's a whole food vitamin, but it's best to eat vitamins separately. Some vitamins and minerals work synergistically...like D, C, and Calcium or C and Iron. Just make sure to get D and eat a meal with the vitamin.

cheap carbs (oats rice beans pasta bread)
cheap protein (eggs chicken cheap pork tuna sardines)
cheap fat (oil, butter)
fruit and vegetables on special (potatoes and onion are cheap)
milk

steal spices, use food banks, beg borrow etc.

example day of eating:
>breakast: oats with milk and sugar, top with incredible cheap or canned fruit for breakfast
>lunch: can of tuna on toast with butter
>snack: baked potato with butter
>dinner: fried rice with frozen mixed vegetables, cheapest chicken you can buy
>snack: boiled egg, pickled onions

300 a month is heaps thats like 10 dollars a day. buy whole chickens and make roast, then sandwiches, then soup. buy a slow cooker put a pork shoulder in there roast some potatoes and onions. leftover pork goes in sandwiches, fried rice, ramen etc

-Get to know Aldi

-Get to know Walmart Great Value brand

-Learn if your local grocery store has BOGO deals. Even expensive grocery stores can have good sales.

-Baked potatoes. 5lb bag of potatoes is $4-5. put butter and sour cream on them. Great filling carb.

-Knorr rice and pasta sides. Get them on sale for around a dollar. Look at Rica-a-roni and other options too. Cheap filling sides that taste good. Add some sliced sausage or some veggies and make it a filling meal for $3.

-Chicken and pork chops can be cheap. Most steak will be too expensive. Top round is a cheap cut of steak that is pretty good. Sausage can be a good value

-eggs are still a an OK value even with the crazy inflation. Get them at aldi or walmart.
