Rice beans and eggs.

Buy in bulk

Are there even any nutrients in ramen or are they just empty calories

>>264028
It won't be cheap when you have to get a new liver and kidney in 10 years

Drink water and freeze it into ice if you get hungry. It has the same nutritional value and is free

>>264041
One package of ramen has 41% a 2k cal diet of sodium. It is the poor person's ticket to high blood pressure and kidney disease.

Ramen is actually expensive because you'll die of organ failure if that's really all you eat. Scurvy is a possibility too. Beans and rice are good enough for the Mexicans it should be good enough for you too.

>>264030
Tastes like shit. What's the next level of nutrition without compromising the budget.

rice and corn beef.

$3.75 pound of spaghetti - 6720 calories
$2.25 ramen noodle 12 pack - 4560 calories
$2 dozen of eggs - 950 calories
$3.20 oats 42 oz - 4500 calories
$5.25 peanut butter 40 oz - 6650 calories
$7.12 canola oil 1 gal - 30720 calories

Enjoy your empty carbs faggots, great way to shorten your life.

A canola oil and ice diet is the most cost effective.

A diet like that will kill you quickly. Horrible things will happen to your kidneys, liver, brain function, bone density, hemoglobin count, and heart function. Just eat on $150 to -$250/mo like every other single person does.

Or, you know, make your own noodles.
All you need is flour and water and a little machine that makes those noddle strings out of the dough.

Ba-bam, 40 cent noodles of 2KG.

>>264107
Make it brown rice. White rice fills you up, but doesn't offer much nutrition or fiber. Brown rice will make shitting into a wonderful and life affirming experience.

Get seasoning. I found that boiling the rice in V-8 juice or bouillon (plus cumin, onions, maybe some diced tomatoes in the $.85 cans).

Making your own spaghetti sauce rocks, and tastes better than any of that paul newman faggoty packaged shit.

Beans and rice + eggs + salsa + a fried banana = one of the best breakfasts you'll ever eat.

Ethnic groceries are pretty much your best friend--all that Kraft bullshit will kill you mang.

These techniques and others have allowed me to fuck around with business ideas and art projects for years without getting a real job, and turned me into a sexual tyrannosaurus. Buy my book now for only 19.95 + shipping.

>but srsly, eating well is a worthy investment. Eating cardboard "noodles" and salt will just make you feel sick and sluggish. Money comes and goes, but you only get one body.

>Money comes and goes, but you only get one body.
Fuck dude, that really hit home.

Thanks for opening my eyes bro

Top ramen is literally the worst way to save money.

No one cares about how much money you have if you're having a heart attack at 35 years old and your colon is full of polyps and you can barely walk because your muscles have atrophied due to malnourishment your entire life.

The point of money is to spend it on things you want and need to survive and enjoy life. I don't mean eating out and I don't mean buying fresh steak and lobster every night, but jesus christ, at least put a few more dollars in and take care of your body. It's the only thing that matters in the world to you.

why don you try a cookbook for cheap meals?

>>264584
Hope you're not joking.

But yeah, nutritious tasty food does not have to be expensive. Many of your favorite foods (pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, tacos) were invented by poorfags who had to make do with simple ingredients.

It's certainly more work than buying fast food or slapping an expensive steak on the grill, but you can also make a big pot of delicious stew and eat it in different ways.

>pot roast with veggies
>becomes beef stew, beef sandwiches, BBQ beef, shepherd's pie, etc.

I'm lucky to be one of those weirdos who can eat the same meal for a week and not get tired of it.

Don't forget to treat yourself once in a while too. Good food and good sex make a body right.

>>264641
Why bother when you have an internet connection?

Listen buddy, food is NOT where you want to be a cheap fucker. Get eggs, milk, fruit, veggies, meat and stock up on basics like salt and different spicery. Make meals out of those things.

Drink tap water. You can save tons of money by doing that and it is healthy.

>>264028
It's not even that cheap. If you were to eat dried goods, like oats, pasta, peas and beans, you'd be better fed and it would cost less.

Oh, and you wouldn't die of hypertension and cancer at 29.

>>264028
Beans , rice , broccoli, sweet potatos, milk , tablespoon of oil and sunflower seeds. About 3.25 a day for all your macro and micronutrients plus vitamins and minerals.

Op you should probably research nutrition before you killbyourself.

>>264028
OP, I recommend that you wait until fruits, vegetables, and cereals go on sale.

If you in to couponning, you can regularly buy cereal for $1.50 to $2.00 and I've gotten 40 boxes of cherrios, chex, corn flakes and all the non sugary boxes of cereal for $0.50 each. (Best to try in the month of September, which involved getting coupons in August and September for future reference).

I mean, if you're into getting grain, which is what ramen is, you might as well get the cereal which is cheaper and has less salt in it. (or at least don't use the salt packets in those things).

Also, you're going to need the fruits and vegetables to stay healthy. I used to be a bread addict and I got fucked up a couple times before I realized I was overloading on the shit.

Coupon and watch out for sales. And do consider eggs and veggies....

If you ignore sickness and death from lack of protein, fat, and micronutrients then no, probably not.

>>264056
Don't even need to wait that long, he'll have scurvy in a few months.

>Drink tap water. You can save tons of money by doing that and it is healthy.


>tap water

>healthy

Fucking lol.

>>264878
Yes it is healthy. Our body treats ions as disposable because they are all freely available in our food and water. Filtering all the salts and metal out of your drinking water means you have to get them elsewhere.

>>264878
I don't know in what kind of shithole you live, but in my superior country (Germany) tap water is the #1 most controlled, monitored and regulated food in the country.

>>264059
lost my shit

>>264885
enjoy your catch-22

>>264947
I mostly just drink filtered rainwater here in Australia. Tastes at least ten times better than tap water.

>>264947
And that doesn't bother you a little bit?

>let's put this chemical in the water, it should make it healthier
>let's put this ion in the water, it should make it healthier
>let's put this compound in the water, it should make it healthier

No, fuck that, I just want water. Plain, regular, ordinary, not-fucked-with water. Keep the fucking government regulation out of my WATER.

>>265023
Then get a fucking rainwater tank.

>>265023
lol /pol/, don't you know that 100% water would probably kill you if you drank it?

>>265243
>>>/pol/
Go back.

>>265023
>All this bullshit
What? You do know that there is no water manipulation allowed within the EU, or GMO, like in the US? Right? Only the US allows its citizens to eat cancer vegetables, and only the us literally puts drugs in their water (fluoride, basically industrial waste).

Get fucked, amerikaner.

>>264132
This. It's not about the price, it's about the price/calorie and nutrients.

>>265271
>tfw have well
>good ol' ground water

Has anyone here tried soylent?

>>265271
>This amount of elitism about water

I'm good to stay in america

>>264028

it's people like you that run the health care system into the ground. do you know how much sodium is in that shit? in a month, you will give yourself hypertension.

>>265327
tfw fracking ruined the well water at my family's ranch.

Funny how the most obese and unhealthy people in the world criticize ramen noodles that are eaten throughout Asia with no ill effects.

There are far more foods worse than ramen, let's put this in proportion.

To the OP, I recommend Korean or Japanese ramen, especially the Korean ones come in many incredible varieties.

If you want to up the nutrition, throw in a can of tuna or some frozen veggies. Makes a helluva hearty meal.

>>264496
my nigga, are you from /fit/?

>>266422
>Instant ramen
>The same as traditional ramen soup made with fresh noodles

>>264028
>packaged ramen
>meal

Enjoy your cancer.

>>264183
You could just cut the noodle strings yourself. It's like family event in animeland. You'll need a good sized knife and cutting board but that's it.

>>266087
I hope you sued.

>>264028
When you buy the noodles separate it's much cheaper. When you make them, it costs nearly nothing. The basics of food is extremely cheap (vegetables, grains, oils, spices, etc.), much more so than fast food or instant food. If you go to the right store (farmer's market and bulk) it wouldn't compare to ramen.


Plain packaged ramen is high in sodium and has little to no nutritional value; you'd become dehydrated and ill from malnutrition if you only eat ramen. Actually getting your own ingredients will give you adequate nutrition, you won't get colon cancer, and will spend much less money. You'll just have to cook it yourself and not be completely retarded when it comes to preparation. Are you too lazy for that, OP?

Peanut butter and crackers op

Beans, mi goreng (indonesian ramen), ground beef, sausages, rice, pasta, olive oil, frozen vegetable, garlic paste, eggs, bread, apples.

That is my shopping list, I am poor as fuck but all this shit is cheap and I eat pretty well.

>>266693
This is my meal plan, I have some potatoes and a bottle of chilli sauce left over from last month.

peas with boiled rice and chilli sauce.
sausages, mashed potatoes and vegetables
spaghetti, garlic, olive oil, peas
rissoles, mashed potatoes, chilli sauce
beans, minced beef, and rice.
Mi Goreng, peas, egg.
fried rice ommlette.
stir fry vegetables and rice.

>>264028
You could eat sooo much cheaper than that. If you have a Smith's or Kroger in your area try there first. Print out coupons. Coupons are your best friend. I spent fifty dollars on food and I have a full refrigerator. I made three gallons of chili, cost me about $7. I made macaroni and cheese casserole in a 9x12 pan, $6. I also bought 10 rockstars for $10, but that's my personal addiction haha. They also have snack bags that are easily 3 portions for $1. Huge fan. And for christ sake don't spend that much on top ramen!!! I got 24 for $4.80. I also got lots a fruits and vegetables. I eat fairly healthy for someone who is totally broke. It's worth it. And don't go to wal mart if you can help it. They're starting to charge significantly more that anyone else for food.

>>264708
eat the same thing. yep thats me to a t

>>264028
You could try Rice.

>Ramen = pasta
>Rice?
>Beans?
>Tuna?

>>266752
That phrase only works if it's a capital t... you just fucked it up; it makes no fucking sense.

ask your doctor what all that sodium is doing for you
