/ck/ - Food & Cooking

eggs are cool and cheap

Are we looking at the same image? That's a lot of fucking food for only a week.

>>14632322
when I was a kid my family ate nothing but eggs for almost a month straight because we didn't have enough money to stretch any other kind of food
20 years later I still get nauseous whenever I even smell an egg

>>14632318
Frozen peas are expensive.

Why would you buy ONE ear of corn, anyway?

Tortillas? How about buy a bag of flour?

Avocado? Expensive

Lettuce is useless.

One jalapeño? WTF

This is the grocery haul of someone who doesn't know how to cook or how to buy ingredients.

>>14632318
>not constantly scouring the discount rack
lol i got like 10 cans of black beans for $0.30 a pop once because they were getting rotated w/newer product

>>14632337
Don't forget the 7 limes. That always cracks me up.

>>14632318
Whose dumb ass buys bok choy, kale, green onions, lime, and jalapenos when they only have $29 a week? Buy a mega pack of frozen chicken, rice, beans, and eggs. Way more calories and nutrition in that, this is just for a pretty photo.

>>14632337
Don't forget about all those fucking limes.

What a shitty shopper. Fucking pedowood types are fucking clueless.

Limes are 5 to 10 for a dollar.
Buying avocado on budget is silly, double silly since if you live in ca you just grab one off a tree.
Even then, you buy produce at a hispanic or asian market for a fraction of the cost. This stupid bitch probably bought everything at some over priced Whole foods or something.

Damn eggs are normally $1 a dozen. Again dumb cunt probably got those stupid free range organic hipster eggs that were 4 times the cost.

Again rice and beans bought from an ethnic store - hispanic, asian or indian are cheap as fuck. Get one of those 20# sacks at an asian store for around $20. Got rice for months.

>>14632345
Pork is extremely cheap too. I just stocked up on pork shoulders for $5.5 each

>>14632318
Why would she need 7 limes? What is the point of that?

>>14632318
>29$ a week
I used to be a casier back before i went to college. A family of four got arround 350-400 dollars a month for EBT. I think she either used the statistic for one family member and shopped at a gucci ass store, or she pulled this shit out of her ass. Why the fuck would you lie about a cause that important, like dont you think when people see such blantant bullshit covering a cause that it might actually turn them away?

>>14632318
It's super easy actually
Just don't buy any plants or seasonings they are nutritionally void taste like shit and cost a lot
Buy eggs milk meat organs cheap fish butter stuff like that
Liver only costs like 3 dollars and is full of almost every nutrient you need.

>>14632318
Fuck her and fuck OP for this shitty troll. Here's some pasta for any poorfags that might want to be able to eat like a king on half this budget per week.

Break down your shopping into protein (pb, eggs, meats, fish), carbs (pasta, bread), veg, herbs/spices, and grocery (soap etc). Then bookmark the ad pages of every store within range. Every week pop open the ads and see what the sales are. Over time you will get a sense of the real price of foods and what is a deal to spend on.

Some tips:

>Buy in bulk at the lowest price then shop for smaller amounts as you go
>find the discount aisles in each store you visit, they all have at least one area
>Immigrant markets are your FRIEND. Find where they are and get their ads.
>You can buy some food and toiletries online cheaper, and at higher quality (e.g., bulk bags of good rice, paper, etc)
>If you have the room freeze your on-sale protein and get your veg fresh
>Potatoes, onions, and carrots sell dirt cheap in bulk bags. Learn to cook with these.
>Rice is a staple and there are a thousand ways to eat it
>Learn recipes that stretch out proteins with vegetables, rice, and pastas
>search for deals on herbs and spices like a thirsty simp and over a long period of time you will build a formidable spice collection
>Buddy up with the deli and butcher personnel and they will hook you up

>>14632435
A lime to eat every day of the week, bro.

>>14632318
this dumb fucking bitch is retarded I get SNAP and its 119 a week. also whore needs to go to save-a-lot and quit buying her shit at target

>>14632333
Not if you actually think about it for a minute. You could do it on 1400 Cals/day for a single person but not a family.

12 eggs: 1200 Calories
2lbs Dried Black Beans: 3087 Calories
2lbs Brown Rice: 3287 Calories
18 Corn Tortillas: 936 Calories
1 Ear of Corn: 120 Calories
7 Limes: 140 Calories
2lbs Frozen Peas: 587 Calories
1 Avacado: 322 Calories
I aint counting lettuce, some garlic, cillantro and another lettuce.

Calorie Total for $29: 9679 Calories or 5 Days on 2000 Calories for a single person.
Or 354 Calories pp per day.

That being said, she shouldn't have bought 19,000 lime and TWO different kinds of fucking lettuce... or brown rice. She could have bought a 20lbs bag of white rice for 33k worth of calories alone. Then spent the other $$ on eggs and frozen peas or some shit. But I am not addressing IF its possible but rather that it is not as much food as you think you are looking at.
(I realize I forgot the sweet potato, but it doesn't change the point)

tldr; Not as much as you are claiming, but yes you COULD get by on $29, but she did a retarded shop on purpose to make a point.

>>14632447
>Calorie Total for $29
that's not $29 in food your fucking retard
>potatoes
>carrots
>cabbage
>onions
>rice
All bulk buys that last for weeks. Fuck off.

>>14632318
Here's the unedited pic

>>14632413
Noticed this too, if you wait for a good sale you can get a big 7-8 lb pork shoulder for like 10 bucks. Buy some beans, onions, a couple carrots, boom. You got a giant pot of delicious soup beans for the entire week with fat, protein, and carbs with most of your macros covered right there.

>>14632490
That's only enough limes for like a single day.

If you are unwilling to obtain your own food and unwilling to work so you can trade for it, you are unwilling to live.

>>14632494
basado limeo brolio

>>14632481
You retarded mouth breathing fucking brainlet. I added up her "$29 worth of food" to point out the the gentleman that he was mistaken then immediately addressed why what she purchased was fucking dumb. Nice reading comprehension fucko

>>14632504
People who are unwilling to work should still be able to get free food, free housing, free healthcare and free university. We can fight hate together and strive for a better future.

>>14632519
There is no such thing as free anything. Someone had to do labor to create a good or provide a service.

>>14632410
>Damn eggs are normally $1 a dozen.
Nigga WHERE

Buy bulk rice never starve gg fuckin EZ

>>14632508
>expecting me to read xirs blog post
yikes

>>14632548
Saw eggs for 1.19 today at my local asian supermarket (NC)

>>14632318
people on food stamps don't buy any of that shit. how do I know, when I was a kid we were on food stamps. the only thing in that picture we ever bought with food stamps are eggs, onions and tortillas.

>>14632318
60 eggs $5
5lb chicken $5
4lb pork $5
2lb beef $5
Other useless veggie crap or just get more meat $9
What useless cunt

>>14632557
I'm in CA

Gotta get the fuck outta here

Unless you bought that at the organic co-op in Alaska there's no way that shit is 29 dollars. And why would you buy an avocado if you're on fucking food stamps?

>>14632584
Nah stay there please

>>14632554
based scurvy poster

>>14632345
To be fair the green onions should stay on the list because they're nutritious and cheap, they go on pretty much everything, and you only have to buy them once because you can put one of the stems in a jar of water and they'll regrow indefinitely.

>>14632587
You need those vitamins and fats

>>14632599
There's only ONE though, for an entire family? You cant find any cheaper produce that has vitamins in it?

>>14632335
In the 80's my family was on food stamps we got $230 per month for 8 people. That's $560 in today's money.

Usually my mom would get her food stamps and we would head to the grocery store, we'd fill up 2 or 3 carts to over flowing with food.

We probably spend about half the money on one trip.

Sometimes we supplemented with dumpster diving, Food boxes, or whatever.

I will never eat spaghetti or top ramen ever again because we had it so often.

>>14632337
it's a bullshit image I see people in the stores all the time and they don't buy most of that stuff, they buy instant meals.

>>14632494
And not a single coconut. Tragic.

>>14632343
Based bargain hunter

Are stamp 29$ for the whole family?
because that's 10$/(per * week) which is clearly not enought to have a balanced diet

>>14632548
Just bought 3 dozen yesterday and they were 99 cents a dozen for large. That was even some specialty store that was the local regional chain store in the area. Sometimes they go on sale for 89 cents or lots of "free" ones when you use your points or spend $20. Like spend $20 get a gallon of milk or a dozen eggs.

>>14632322
Atherosclerosis isn't cool or cheap.

>>14632615
Average is around $200/mo per adult/dependent.

So this bitch is lying to begin with.

>>14632318
I can make a decent, well rounded shopping cart on $100/month. $29 X 4 weeks = $116. Nothing fancy though. Frozen chicken, frozen veg, dry beans, oatmeal. No spices (just salt and pepper). Walmart and Great Value is your friend.


Breakfast: Oatmeal microwaved with water

Lunch: Cheapest greek yogurt I can find

Dinner: Chicken breast, veg, and black beans.

>>14632623
Yeah. I get $191 per month just for me.

>>14632618
>believing retarded boomer myths about nutrition
Let me guess, you think having 11 servings of grains a day is healthy

>>14632615
>balanced diet
he thinks people on food stamps eat balanced diets.

>>14632318
Well, then don't be on fucking "SNAP", there problem solved.

>>14632589
I'M NOT CRINGE

I'M BASED I SWEAR

>>14632633
>tfw 6 year old boomer https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4136506/#__ffn_sectitle

>>14632623
So it is ~50$ per person per week.

That's plenty enough for a balanced diet.

>>14632634
They should.
There's no advantages in not eating balanced diet, not even economically.

> offals
> onions, garlic
> lemons
> apples, oranges, bananas, some kind of seasonal fruits
> legumes
> sardines, anchovies, mackarels
> pasta, bread, rice
> water
> milk
> carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, and vegetable

Are all pretty cheap and nutrient.

Every time I do this they just start tasting like water after a week, I don't think we have the same understanding of the word "nutritious". Besides, I grew a container in my front yard of onions and now I just have a gallon ziploc in the freezer of green onions whenever I want, they're very oniony but it's still just an accent for food. No real nutrients to speak of, raw garlic and onion bulbs are where the real magic happens, 3000% T boost, increased VO2 max, pungent ass gas and breath keeps gym cuties away.

>>14632318
is she implying that everyone on SNAP is Mexican?
lmao

>>14632597
Don't regrow indefinitely, either. Eventually they'll slow down and die unless you put them in dirt or start meticulously dosing with dissolvable ferts

>>14632318
I spent around $40 and here’s what I got
>8 chicken breasts ($5 something)
>4 limes
>2 lemons
>4 onions
>pack of shrooms
>3 Italian squash
>7 bananas
>6 red plantains
>a pound or two of tomatillos
>a large block of cheddar cheese
>a pack of cheese singles (for grilled cheese, ya pleb)
>a loaf of sliced bread
>a gallon of milk
>7 apples
Exactly how did she manage to spend over half of that on less than half that much food?

>>14632670
Exactly. I hate my fatty friends that claim eating healthy is atrociously expensive. It's far cheaper than getting fast food everyday and hot chips.

>>14632670
>offals
But offals are icky, it's organs and stuff. Did you know tripe is the STOMACH of the cow! I'd rather starve than eat something like that.

All the metanalisys/study that have citation of the article you posted state that a consumption of 7 egg/week is safe

>>14632690
>8 chicken breasts
>$5
In what universe? I live in burgerland and the lowest I've ever seen breast is $1.99/lb.

>>14632344
Limeade is great tho

>>14632708
you're missing out anon.

offals not only are way better nutritionally speaking respect to the muscles, but they are tastier.

You are used to the little flavour of muscles that you can't enjoy something that has flavour

Liver, heart, tripe and so on are god tier, but as opposed to steaks, you have to know *how to prepare them* to make them delicious

>>14632318
This is more than enough for one person to live off of for a week.

>>14632686
Ok they're still less than a fucking dollar

>>14632736
>2
i agree with you but what the fuck are you making for dinner with these ingredients?

>>14632757
Chicken and rice.

>>14632717
They were kinda small and honestly it could be boneless thighs or something but it’s still like 3 pounds

>>14632734
a lot of americans still think offal is icky and won't even try it. I lost my mind when I went to college and my roommates thought eating meat on the bone was weird.

>>14632734
/ck/ is really that awful that you didn't realize I was mocking that kind of posters? I love offals.

vegetables are expensive

>>14632318
>limes
>avocado
>kale
yeah all that shit is expensive. toss all that shit in the trash for a $10 pork shoulder that feeds like 10 servings

>>14632783
No they're not. Americans are used to food with a very long shelf life. Fresh veg has the disadvantage of spoiling quickly (1-2 weeks). If you're poor, never buy fresh (unless it's on sale and you plan your meals ahead). Always buy canned or frozen.

>>14632736
fuck the fruit and you can add on another protein too

>>14632344
gotta keep scurvy at bay, man.

>>14632410
Every time I go to an ethnic store it's twice as much as the regular grocery store

>>14632318
Skip the veggies, just eat eggs, meat and organs, then fast on the weekends because most of you are fat fucks

>>14632447
>You could do it on 1400 Cals/day for a single person but not a family.
I'd say the average American family needs to be on a caloric deficit

>>14632811
Are you going to some european import place where they sell cheese for $20/lbs, expensive imported olives and other crazy shit or something?

Do you not have a mexican supermercado by you? hell, son, I live in a flyover state and even have access to a couple decent mexican stores and a few indian places.

>>14632674
Dat subtext doe

>>14632736
Maybe find room for a bag a black beans instead of that can of pintos. Add some cheap pasta sauce and 7 limes, too.

>>14632318
>what are eggs

>what are sales
>what are peanuts/peanut butter
>what is pasta

If you have access to grocery stores you have no fucking excuse

>>14632343
If calories are you game, you can find a store which throws out donuts/cakes constantly and get them for like 2 bucks a pop. It's actually ridiculous. I skulk the bargain bins as well-- upscale stores like Albertsons/Randalls are the best places for this as well. They have more good things being regularly marked down. HEB does it as well, but that's more regional.

>>14632790
Limes are cheap, but mostly worthless as there are better ways to get acid (cheap as fuck bottles of wine give you more liquid for the money and are basically shelf-stable). It's clear that she went to t he store to make some sort of "Mexican" dish and then had the perfect idea for a post after getting stupid shit like singular onions because her dumb cunt self doesn't cook regularly.

>>14632794
a bag of spinach is like 5 dollars and isn't filling at all

>>14632794
They *can* be depending on what it is, the season, etc. A smart shopper understands the contextual nature of buying stuff like produce-- fresh is necessary for certain dishes, but it can also be cheaper than the alternatives or just better... however it can be expensive and terrible as well.

>>14632862
>a bag of spinach is like 5 dollars and isn't filling at all
What did he mean by this?

>>14632862

>>14632885
a bag of spinach is like 5 dollars and isn't filling at all

>>14632862
a can of green beans is an excellent side to a piece of frozen chicken breast. Much more cost efficient than spending $5 on two mcdoubles.

>>14632896
>canned
not healthy, also yuck and not filling

>>14632896
Yeah, but what am I going to do with this garage full of spinach?

>>14632890
Yeah but normal green cabbage is under 50 cents a pound and is tasty and versatile.

Also greens, outside of whatever current trendy superfood of the week, are inexpensive. Mustard, turnip and collard greens.

You just have to shop around, do some basic planning ahead and knowing what is in season. Shit you should be doing regardless of ebt or not. This is just basic grown up shit to do.

>>14632905
Not healthy because what? You can find low sodium versions.

>>14632905
it's significantly more healthy and cheaper than eating fast food. But if you're dead set on spinach you can have it as a side to a suitable protein for about $1/day.

$29 could get you more than a few bags of rice and beans, with some chicken to make it not taste like bland survival food. Not saying it would be pleasant, but you wouldn't starve, that's for sure.

>>14632318
>Shit we bought actual food for cheap, how can we make this a political post about poverty still?
>I know, let's spend $15 on fucking limes

>>14632333
A family implies at least 3 people, mom dad and child. Could two people make do? Probably. With a kid or 2? No, not for 7 days. But that's also not $30 worth of food. Depending on where you go, you can get all that shit for maybe 20ish. I dont know what's driving the price up though. The limes? Drop the limes, get more eggs

>>14632318
Am I blind, or has this bitch bought 7 limes?

>>14632683
WHat do you need 21 limes for??

>>14632736
what the fuck is the rotini for? DO you plan to stir the pinto beans into it?

>>14633414

but u cant eat tacos without limes :/

>>14632318
Do Americans really need at least seven limes per week to survive?

>>14632318
So what? Poor people are subhuman and deserve to starve.

>>14632490
this says more about limes than it does about food stamps

>>14632318

They literally did not buy anything to eat. Majority of everything there is not something you need to eat even on a weekly basis (lime, avo, black bean, cilantro), then she bought BROWN rice, wtf, scallions why? Kale AND lettuce? WHY

>>14632343
This fucking idiot bought beans in a bag instead of canned. Unbelievable. I'm not poor but even I don't do this. You buy bag when you need it for a special recipe.

>>14632519

>>14632583
Are these prices from1998?

>>14632318
A). Even a 1p household gets $194 (~$45/wk.).
B). SNAP has whole other problems (than somebody projecting that fresh produce and such are cheap, or relevant to fundamental nutrition).
C). Protein powders are not the cheapest sources, but casein and whey, plus flaxseed oil, vitamins, and minerals -- for all "essential nutrients" -- is only some $97 / mo. for ~2k Cals. / day, ~150g protein, 14g flaxseed oil, and PB. (though plausibly not at stores accepting food stamps; alternatives / examples are listed in the next image).

>>14632322
Eggs are sorta cheap for protein and calories!

It should be noted from this anons chart that a household is not people living under one roof. This is a household as far as income/taxes are filed. This chart is used for dependents filed together.

You could have 6 adults all at same address and each one considered a separate household as long as none of them are claiming another as a dependent on their taxes.

the 3 meals a day meme was such a big mistake, niether rich larpfag or actual poorfags really know how to eat for survival after reading this thread...atleast poorfags know how to budget though

It's just an example that it took me 10 minutes to put together, not something you need to buy. THE POINT is: you can certainly buy enough food with that money for a week.

>>14632736

It is the reason you are dirt poor because you order food everyday instead of buying groceries and cooking you moronic boob

>>14632318
Why'd she buy so many fucking limes? Are cocktails part of the weekly meal plan?

>>14632318
I wish I had the screen of the woman that walked into a store and got a lot of brand products knowing full well she couldn't afford to pay them then demanded she would get it at a discount because she couldn't give her children offbrand products or else they would cry and some poor fucker decided to pay for her groceries so she would go away

>>14632439

I'm a cashier at a grocery store and I get a glimpse on screen of what people's EBT balance is. Most of the time it ranges from $200-$600. Most I've seen is $1400. Keep in mind this is after they have bought groceries from us and likely other places. The 1st of the month is always interesting when food stampers fill their carts to the brim with meats and juice.

>>14635591
For me it's morrel snow cap lard. The ultimate cooking fat.

>>14635571
Hahahaha you're suggesting the poor be hunter gatherers

>>14632318
One person can make 1700 a month and get $195 additional each month for free that they get to spend on groceries.

My brother is a student and on it now. It's pretty fuckin awesome, he says he basically spends $0 of his own money on food.

With section 8 housing vouchers, you only spend around $500 on rent.

So basically my brother can have a car, apartment, and decent food for $1500 a month. Or basically a job that pays $10 an hour.

>>14635608
If they are willing to hunt then they barely need that ebt
They could fish but I dobut many have access to non polluted masses of water
They could definitely hunt tho

>>14635614
>Or basically a job that pays $10 an hour.
You forgot to account for taxes. You're down to a little over $1k afterwards.

>>14632318
>all those limes
buy stuff you can actually eat ffs

>>14632318
7 limes

150$ for a hunting bow or air gun. hunt small game. better yet get a job. society has become so fickle

>>14635711
Hahahaha based anon sending negros to jail

>I buy overcooked beans and am proud of the fact

>you just grab one off a tree.
Retard

>>14635819
I can believe he'd just walk up and grab someone's personal produce. Last year was my first successful year growing tomatoes and I only got to eat the first one. Other people thought it'd be cool to just walk up and take my shit.

Eggs, ramen, blue box, canned milk, tea, store-brand bread. Congratulations, you've got a week's nutrition for about 10 dollars.

It's depressing but you're not starving.

>>14632616
>Like spend $20 get a gallon of milk or a dozen eggs.
Pretty sweet deal.

Realistically speaking, get a job.

>>14632318
Good thing they get $400+ a month for food

>>14635912
What do you think jobs grow on trees like limes?

>>14632861
yeah even the shitty chains have good clearance deals if you know where to look
<$1 day old bagels from the bakery at Giant in heavily Jewish areas lol. get em fast tho.

>>14632318
VII fucking limes

>>14633832
The point was survival, not comfort.

>>14635685
You can eat a lime a day, bro

>>14632447
That's not enough for a family surviving on food stamps. Even if it's rice and beans the kids need something else.

If you are eating 3-4 meals a day for a months that's not even really enough.

Name one reason you shouldn't stock up on limes.

>>14632410
>Damn eggs are normally $1 a dozen.
>Limes are 5 to 10 for a dollar.

You keep calling her 'stupid,' but the only idiot is you, because where I live those prices don't exist. Not even in the Asian markets. Come back to the present asshole.

>>14637624
Move out of the city urbanite

>>14632318
>7 limes
What the fuck does she need with 7 limes in one week? I can see adding a squeeze of lime juice to brighten up the flavors of a dish, but unless you're making margaritas, that's a fuckton of citrus to go through in just a few days.

Put six of those little greeniggers back and buy a pound of ground beef or pork.

>>14632441
this + always ask if the store you go to has a membership card

>>14637624
>because where I live those prices don't exist.
>THE ONLY SUPERMARKET IN THE WORLD IS THE ONE I SHOP AT. ALL PRICES AROUND THE WORLD ARE THE SAME BECAUSE EVERYONE MAKES THE SAME MONEY AND ALL PLACES HAVE THE SAME OVERHEAD COSTS.

Didnt she do this when limes were like 1.50 each cause of the lime shortage?

>>14632318
What the hell are you buying all those limes for. An unnecessary cost and nutritionally completely unnecessary.

>>14639094
They say she's still hording limes to this day.

>>14634598
Underated post

>>14632318
are food stamps supposed to be meal replacements or supplements, hell an extra 5$ or so to that could add some ground beef, me and my GF generally only buy 30$ worth of food every week and we aren't budgeting or anything, we don't have kids but if we paid attention to prices and only bought great value and cooked cheaper meals we probably could stretch that 30$ to also meals for other family members

>>14632344
my grocery store sells 12 lime for $4 sometimes

>>14632345
probably because greens are cheap and fill you up

Being poor shouldn't be a reward. Poor people deserve to eat ramen and their own excrement not lobster and cavier.

>>14632318
I wonder if she fed her family only this for a week to prove her point or if she pussed out.

>we already know the answer

>>14633415
This. Who fucking buys limes when you've got mouths to feed.

"What'd you get for lunch to day, Timmy?"
"My mom packed half a lime."

>>14640825
Well, we don't want the children getting scurvy, do we??

>>14632318
Keep in mind that this is a woman who sells golden dildos and sells products with little to no tested science. She's a child born and raised in hollywood money, so she's never actually cooked anything other than eggs and quinoa in her entire life. She wipes her ass with organic $100 bills.

How many limes would you purchase with $29?

>>14632603
>"they buy instant meals"
SERIOUSLY THIS
My fiance and I had two vastly different ways of growing up when poor. While my parents could actually cook and make competent meal plans, my fiance subsisted off fast food, ready meals, and shittily made home dinners that include chicken breasts oven baked with a single dollop of mayo on top...
With everybody struggling with the "pandemic" bullshit he's now understanding how *I* grew up and survived, by eating real fucking food and spending wisely.

>>14634497
You can genuinely do this though what's your point

Fun fact: Lobster was prisoner food once.

"Lobster was also commonly served in prisons, much to the displeasure of inmates.[57] American lobster was initially deemed worthy only of being used as fertilizer or fish bait, and until well into the 20th century, it was not viewed as more than a low-priced canned staple food" - Wiki

>YOU HAVE TO BE FULL AT ALL TIMES
I hate Americans.
I eat maybe 500 cals a day

>>14632318
>buy pure meats
>do 1 day eating, 1 day no

Lets be real here, most of this board has no family and has no idea what cooking for a family is like. I have a wife, 2 kids, and an autistic special needs boy who we adopted from the local animal abusers rehabilitation school.

Ignoring my own needs

Wife
>Needs 2600 calories a day, is an active woman with a large frame
>Her weekly food on average is 2 loafs of bread, a huge amount of varied tinned fruit, 2 types of sausage, 2 muffins per day, oatmeal and buttermilk for her porridge breakfast, granola and veggie stock for lunch, several bags of crisps, a few spices, diet pop but she is worried about food contamination so I have to buy multiple fresh glass bottles a week to bottle the pop in seperate bottles for her private fridge which costs to run, she likes to pick at the burnt chocolate spread from the toaster so I have to buy and eat chocolate spread on toast despite not being a fan, and some chicken

FROM all of that, the rest of the family maybe gets some granola, some leftover crisps and some slices of bread. The autistic boy doesn't eat meat so he has to have vegan options and lentils etc, my youngest daughter is a picky as fuck eater, so won't eat from any cupboard with lentils in because when she used to be really fat I would make fun of her by dropping bags of lentils on her and saying 'just getting your PULSE down fatty', so I have to build a seperate cupboard for her food, which isn't that much because she has an eating disorder. My second daughter, the eldest, eats weird shit like fish and eggs mixed together in a tomato sauce, so she does all her cooking which means she needed her own oven and fish is expensive. Then there is the fact I can't cook for everyone because the daughters are scared of the autistic boy and won't eat with him so I have to cook their meals, eat with them and their mother, then go and eat with the boy but while I am there my wife eat from the fridge as 'snacks' which needs replacing

Families are complicated. Its never cheap

>>14641075
That's because you live in a shit third world where dinner is whatever you can scrape off of the wall and smear it on a dead pigeon you found. Nobody wants to eat that. No wonder you don't eat every day.

>>14641096
Or you can just not have kids if you can't afford to feed them. That's also a valid idea.

>>14641075
Eating 500 calories a day isn't healthy either. You dont have to be full or hungry. You can be in between. I agree that American food culture breeds fatasses that dont know how to deal with a little bit of hunger, but being anorexic isn't better.

>>14641113
That's shit advice once the kid already exists.
>Just go back in your time machine and not have kids!

>>14641096
TL;DR

>>14641219
so throw his ass in the child-recycle bin. Pro-lifers don't give a fuck about a fetus once it's born. It can live in a trash can it's whole life, for all they are. That's why orphanages exist. God WANTS that kid to be unloved and without a family. That's GOD'S WILL. You can't fight God's will, anon.

Don't worry. Somebody will dig him out and adopt him.

>>14632548
eggs are 99c/doz in indiana most of the year

>>14641219
Put them up for adoption.

>>14638257
the problem is poor people are less likely to cook (not entirely their faults, tho it is partially). Having canned and frozen is a way to extend the shelf life of relatively healthy foods with little prep work. Still, most poors would rather eat hot chips and mcdonalds because it's the taste they're used to and enjoy.

>>14641257
oh yeah, the foster system is a real paradise.
KYS.
>>14641235
seriously.

>>14641279
If you can't afford to feed them then pawn them off to a family who can or would you rather them starve to death eating limes every day?

>>14632318
I am on SNAP i get just shy of 200 a month on it. not living like a king but its easily good meals on that a month if you dont buy dumb shit like 7 limes

chicken, rice, a bottle of hot sauce, and bulk veggies are not that expensive

>>14641307
How many limes do you buy instead then?

>>14641279
Seriously. My very southern Karen of an Aunt told me this is how she and her friends and her church view adoption. Fuck the fetus after it's born - they just want God's pawn to be on the board before he decides to fuck with it.

>>14632447
a family actually gets way more than that on SNAP. a family of 4 can get like 500 dollars a month easily

>>14641292
The point is children shouldn't be starving in America, regardless of their poverty level.

I don't think there are a lot of kids eating limes every day, but if there were.... at least they won't get scurvy!

>>14641320
NOBODY should be starving in fucking America. We are one of the wealthiest countries on this planet. We throw food away every fucking day. NOBODY should be hungry here.....and yet.....

>>14641341
if people want food they should pay for it, food isnt a human right and if you are so fucked for money go get a gun and shoot a few deer in the face. you will have enough food for months

fuck poor people but most importantly fuck jannies

What's wrong with seven limes? That's just about enough for a key lime pie.

>>14641457
I've worked with the public. Specifically low income. I did every fucking day. We have a hiring program where we hire the poors and this one woman has 12 fucking children. I couldn't believe the fucking smell and noise when she tried to cram them all into my office. Jesus christ. "God wanted her to be pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't be.", was how someone described it. Fucking people.

>>14632318
Yet all basketball americans are fat as fuck and have 3 iPhones. Somehow i suspect "SNAP" (what does it even mean?) isn't their only source of income.

>>14641501
Yeah they steal everything.

>>14632318
The S stands for supplemental, it's not supposed to feed you on its own.

>>14641096
>>Needs 2600 calories a day, is an active woman with a large frame
that's a funny way to say she's a fat pig

If you can't feed a kid, don't have one. Sex is fun, but being a parent is not. If you can't feed a kid, don't have one.

Super duper easy.

>>14641341
And yet... people here largely get fat instead of going hungry. Children are the ones who are most at risk of being unable to get food because of their druggy parents, so schools will feed them 2x a day for free. It's basically impossible to starve to death in America except willfully. Show me an adult who isn't mentally ill or a druggie and is starving to death.

>>14641623
Give a kid a lime and he can feast for a day.

>>14633726
I don't memorize prices very well, but last time I went to walmart I got 20 lbs of frozen chicken breast for $20. I mean it isn't good meat but it is cheap. Also I remember a Mexican grocery store I sometimes go to has really cheap meat.

>>14641096

I come from the UK and could get all of that for ~£7 (~$10) tops. And we get taxed out the fucking arsehole too, so either she's shopping at places that ramp prices for middle class cunts or she's retarded. Or both.

Wouldn't it be better if healthy foods were cheap and unhealthy foods expensive, i mean i saw my 600 puond life on TLC, if healthy food were cheap nobody would weigh in at 600-700 pounds?

>>14632344
Gotta have something to put in all those coronas and modelos

>>14632318
Food Stamps, EBT, SNAP are supplemental assistance. They're not meant to pay for all your food, but to help with your food expenses.

>>14632628
>>14632628
ethnic markets usually have spices for cheap

>>14645429
>Wouldn't it be better if healthy foods were cheap and unhealthy foods expensive
Healthy foods *are* cheap, assuming you know how to cook. $10 gets you two unhealthy meals at a fast food place or it gets you 6-10 if you cook from scratch.

Ideally nobody should be on Benefits like snap. Groceries are dirt fucking cheap if you know how to cook and stretch your meals. In college I would just buy chicken and pork since it was cheap and cook it with rice and beans. Chili was super easy to make as well. For fucks sake the other day I got a 14 pound pork shoulder for 14 dollars took my girlfriend and I a week just to eat half. I will always maintain if you do not educate yourself on how to cook you will by virtue also not know how to properly shop for groceries and not spend close to 100 dollars a week for food you don't realistically need.

When I was a student I managed to eat healthy for less. I bought maybe 300-500 meat for a week and split it between meals and used as flavoring. Mostly ground beef of chicken. I froze the meat I did not use. Beans and legumes are your friend. Also eggs. You can make most things taste good with eggs. For vegetables I bought what was in season, mostly from cheaper stores. I took anything that looked good and was cheap. If I couldn't find anything I bought frozen veggies. Yoghurt and other milk products are a cheap source of protein. Get some nuts in there, just a few, top it with frozen berries and you got yourself a breakfast. I got some flour and made my own pizza. The toppings cost next to nothing. Also canned tuna is cheap. I couldn't afford Alkohol and sugary drinks so that was the healthiest I probably ate.

>Make pico with the onion, jalapeno, cilantro, limes, and tomato. Scramble eggs, put in tortilla. Breakfast tacos.
>Make a corn salsa with corn, beans, onion, cilantro. Make guac with avocada, lime, garlic, cilantro. Fry tortillas and make corn salsa tostadas.
>Mix brown rice with beans and kale, simple beans and rice
>Fried rice with peas, green onion, egg
>Roast sweet potato, cube and toss with chopped lettuce/kale, whatever else you got left. Easy salad.

>>14632318
Why is this bitch buying limes and avocado? Unless you live in a warm climate, they are retarded expensive.

Heart is my go-to for making stewed dishes. I have a hard time with liver, that iron flavor fucks with me. Tripe, kidney, gizzard? Good shit.

>>14632318
29 burgers from the dollar menu will keep me happy for a week.
Or, $10 for meat (about 2kg/4lb), less than $5 for starch (few bags of pasta/rice, can upgrade to potatoes, can get a lot for your money).
Another $10 on random fruit & veg
$4 for junk food.
Not a lot for a whole family, but you can eat healthy enough

>>14640137
I hear she apprenticed under Surly, and eventually took fort making in a bold new direction by replacing the eggs with limes.

>>14632548
Lucky me eggs cost me 30 cents a dozen.
