I lived off a $900 a month graduate student stipend in 2013 so maybe this doesn't quite work out, but here's what I did:
>no breakfast, no necessary because I don't to manual labor
>lunch is a banana, and a hard boiled egg + peanut butter burrito. sometimes I'd splurge and buy some saltines to throw in there
>dinner is any kind of 1 dollar pasta + bag of frozen veggies + 2 bouillon cubes. lasts for 2 meals

the dinner used to cost $1 for the pasta, $1 for the veggies, and the bouillon was like a few cents so basically negligible. I don't remember the exact price for the lunch but it was around 3 dollars on average. I actually saved enough money that on weekends I'd sometimes buy some bulk frozen chicken breast or ground beef, or very occasionally some ice cream or whatever I could find on sale in stuff that was expiring that same day. I think these days pasta and veggies would probably run you $4, and eggs have gotten way more expensive, but I think you could still squeeze by on a $6 average per day that way.

also I never had to do this, but you can find frozen pizzas anywhere from $2 to $6 dollars, and those are typically around 1400 to 2000+ calories. if you shop around I bet you could get down to $6 average per day just on frozen pizzas, assuming you have a method to cook them.

The ingredients are covered here, but few have gone into the details. Here's my take OP. I did this in college and I went back to doing this a few years ago to restore my health. It's not only cheap and simple, but it protects your body because it's a whole foods diet and avoids anything processed.

Breakfast is based off a two week grocery schedule.

Breakfast:
-24oz bacon $7.99 (looks expensive but it will feed you for 14 days. Take 2 pieces and rip them in half so you have 4 pieces of bacon with your eggs.)
-4 dozen eggs $11.96 ($2.99 per dozen. Get jumbo cage free brown. The quality is worth it here and egg prices have come down. Scramble 4 eggs over your cooked bacon every morning.)

That's a better breakfast than you will get at any restaurant for $19.95, and you're getting it every morning for two weeks. That's $1.42 per day.

Dinner is based off a one week grocery schedule because you will have to make this in a crockpot once a week.

Dinner
-1pd of brown rice ($0.99)
-1pd of lentils ($0.99, optional)
-5pds chicken thighs $9.95 ($1.99 per pd)

Put the rice and thighs in a crockpot along with 2 liters of waters (yes, it's a lot, but it will make conchee (rice porridge and is excellent for you kidneys and chi)). Cook on high for 4 hours. Optionally you can also cook 1pd of lentils with this for health, but it tastes better as just rice and chicken. Either way, you now have a huge amount of food that you can space out over the next week. $10.94 for 7 dinners, at $1.56 per dinner. Use Mae Ploy and/or Sriracha sauce to make it taste better than any Chinese restaurant.

This is more than enough to not only sustain you but make you healthier than the vast majority of people living in the western world. Those two meals put you at $2.98 per day.

Use the other $3.02 per day to buy a bag of spinach and carrots to space out over the week and get whatever fruits you like. Alternate chicken thighs with chicken breast every other week for variety.

[Anonymous No.56057918]

damn anons you dont even know the good secrets. First, act like a hawk on the postmates promo codes. your market will influence how many of these you get, but generally unless you live out in the country youll be given 3-4 coupons a month, something like a flat $25 credit, or a huge discount, think $20 off $35 and things of this nature. Use the mexican markets in your area, they usually offer free bones and extremely cheap fruits/veges. You can use these ingredients to create extremely healthy and delicious bone broth for like $1 a gallon or cheaper. Stock up on certain meat sales, $1 chicken breasts, $.69 pork cuts, $2.50 and less for beef cuts (hint get the shanks and make some soup). Add in some rice, beans, lentils, and youre all set. I regularly make a massive pot(4gal or so) of beef / chicken stew, and it ends up costing about $15-20 or less depending on the sales.

[Anonymous No.56057999]

>>56057918
cheap meals become easier and easier as your skill in cooking grows. Its also best to use homemade ingredients, even the more complicated ones...Ill use what I made the other night as an example...Got a top round for about $2.50ish a LB, toasted paprika, garlic, oregano before adding some oil and cooking some onions down, towards the end I added some bell pepper before pushing it all over to the side of my pot and adding the seasoned beef(seasoned with homemade smoked hatch chilli salt and pepper. Browned that bitch and after the flip I tossed all of the veges on the beef and layered some tomatos on top then added lime juice, ACV, worcestershire, added some extra water(i forgot the beer) and covered it all to slow cook for like 5 hours to become tender. Once it was tender I shredded the meat, mixed in the veges (which i added more to later on so they were firmer) and ate that shit on some torillas / sourdough bread. Fucking EZ restaurant quality meal which cost like $15 to feed 3 people for 2 days or so and minimal time in the kitchen cooking.

You can really elevate your meals by treating the ingredients right, and adding an extra step or two when adding them into the food...for instance, I didnt just toss my spices in, I toasted them first, I didnt just add hatch chillis, I smoked them, then dried them in a salt/msg mix (which transfers the smoked hatch chilli flavor to the salt, created gourmet salt, something that would cost you like $10 an OZ, and cost me like $1 to make about 1/4 a lb. I also made sure to brown the meat, which some heathens refuse to do. The more little "kitchen" devices you have the more you can create (easily) too. Im talking things like an air fryer/convection oven, smoker, BBQ, different pots/pans, etc. If I am willing to work a little on my food options for a month, I can generally make meals for myself for under $1 meal. This doesnt work if youre waiting until the last minute to purchase your ingredients. The biggest thing thought imo would be to find the shops in your area that have "waste" think fat / bones / meat trimmings that no one wants and no one will pay for, those shops will usually give that away to you for free. Each time I go to one of the mexican markets where I live I walk out with a 10-20lb bag of beef bones that are perfect for making bone broth with, with beef to do it right it unfortunately takes 1-2 full days of cooking on the stove to complete...but its definitely worth it. Thank you all for listening to my ted talk.

Bulk purchases of cheap ingredients with long shelf lives is how it works, sorry.

That said, food is the primary thing you should be willing to spend extra on. Every aspect of your life - your physical health, your mental health, your resistance to sickness and disease, your LIFESPAN - is directly influenced by the food you eat. Buying cheap junk is fucking yourself over. Even at $20 a day you're only spending a little over $7k a year and that's a tiny amount to pay for a healthy body and a healthy life.

If you can't afford to feed yourself high quality, healthy food, then your first priority should be making enough money to do so. Start investing once you have money left over AFTER making sure you're providing the best fuel for your body.

I eat a sandwich and wash it down with a cup of water every couple days or so. Other than that I drink a couple redbulls every day which comes out to around $6-$7 a day. I don’t like eating my money, rather invest.

buy chicken that is close to expiration, frozen vegetables and rice - you can meal prep and freeze it all for under 2 dollars per meal

I'm curious how much you guys all spend on food as a percentage of income. I'm probably in the realm of 2%
