When I was a teenager, the local Dollarama used to carry Chef Boyardee ravioli in the tall cans (not the standard-sized cans), and they were $2 each. They had both regular and mini ravioli. I don't see them in dollar stores anymore, and prices obviously haven't been the same ever since.

Those were the days.

my favorite when I was poor was chorizo and beans. that tube of chorizo that’s made of salivary glands, cooked forever with some potatoes until crispy. add a can of refried beans with a small can of green chilies mixed in, then you have enough food for several meals, especially if you cook a few eggs to go with it. I still make it from time to time as breakfast burritos

Anyone who sucks dick revokes their masculinity. Full stop.

On days where I want something both fun to eat and delicious for dirt cheap I'll make a filling meal out of a Bowl of Tapatio birria flavor instant ramen, and add the cooked contents of a Maruchan instant korean bbq yakisoba to the bowl. It's HOT, flavorful, and filling.

If you take his post at direct face value (ie. without context), it's literally just microwaved vegetables with salt & pepper. No mention of meat anywhere. I guess it's kind of implied, but if you literally eat only what he described, you're gonna have a bad time.

These were my once a week meals. They're $1 now, but were $0.65 a few years ago.
Nissin Chow Mein is decent too. Today was the last day of the sale, so I picked up a few of them for $0.89 at Kroger. That's the cheapest I've seen in a year.
