/ck/ - Food & Cooking

you would need some fruit and vegetables if you want a somewhat balanced diet
you'd also need to drink a lot of water to avoid getting dehydrated from the constant explosive diarrhea

In my early 20s, I survived on these (the bean & cheese and the beef & bean ones), plus the cheapest processed chicken strips, ramen, jarred sauce, 2-liter bottles of Country Time lemonade, and vitamin supplements. You'll be fine for a while.

>>18034663
These have much more balanced macros, but I'm not sure about a price difference. See below

>>18034663
if you want to survive on less than $50.a day, just meal prep rice chicken and broccoli, and use the extra for milk fruits and sauces

I did that during the pandemic. Shitting 4 times a day with blood. Always hungry. Stomach always making noises.

If you were a girl, that would be my fetish.

Chicken is like $1/lb, rice is like $1/lb, beans are cheap as fuck, so are frozen vegetables. Learn how to make some jambalaya and chicken and rice.

I've considered getting these but I'm afraid they'll be spicy and them I'd end up wasting my money and have to throw em out
How hot are these ?

>>18034684
This. It would also be healthier for you

>>18035753
not very spicy at all
unless you’re incredibly sensitive to heat you’ll be fine
i like their chicken and cheese chimichangas the best

>>18034734
>never been to a grocery store
Chicken $1/lb???

>>18035825
How are they compared to something like taco Bells none spicy stuff?
I generally don't like any heat in my food.

>>18035839
probably the same
it’s been awhile since i’ve eaten taco bell though
i don’t go out of my way to eat spicy food and el monterey suits me fine

>>18034663
Learn how to cook dry rice and dry beans, you silly goose.

>>18035839
>>18035851
they do have spicy offerings though but you should, obviously, avoid them

>>18034734
maybe at a discount, couple years ago and bones included
it's more like $2-3

>>18034734
>Chicken is like $1/lb
What? Where the fuck do you live?

>>18035827
Chicken leg quarters are less than $1/lb where I live. Don't buy breast or boneless thighs unless you're okay with spending more.

>>18034734
>Learn how to make some jambalaya

>>18034724
Seek professional help, ASAP.

>>18034663
i feed a family of 3 for $250 a month and we real food

these are the best ones

tortillas are so easy to make people living in the mud like it's 1000 bc can make them
beans cost nothing, chicken costs nothing, cilantro grows in a cup of water, rice costs nothing

>>18037082
negative, i don't trust the meat ones, you'd be lucky if you're even getting roadkill horse meat

>>18034734

>Chicken is $1/lb

>>18036978
Go on...

>>18037212
its "textured vegetable protein" aka s0y been eating them for years nothing bad ever happened

>>18036978
Share the secrets

>>18037251
soy isn't filtered here buddy

>>18037263
i buy in bulk so i only have to stock up on certain things every few months like flour, rice, beans and meat when it goes on sale. make large batches and portion them out and freeze it up, it doesn't look pretty in this pic but its all made from scratch and tastes great
i make chili, beef stew, mash potatoes, rice pilaf, burgers, split pea soup, black bean burgers, refried beans, tacos, chicken fajitas are most of my main dishes but i try to have pizza, cheese steaks, ham/pork chops at lest once or twice a month

>asking /ck/ if you should eat processed garbage everyday
Kill yourself.

>>18037251
It's less than 2% soy. Third ingredient is beef after flour and water.

>>18037367
>Third ingredient is beef
wonder what they mean by "beef"?

>>18034677
this feels more expensive than chucking root vegetables and $30 in chuck into a pot and having half the food for a week

>>18037469
meat that comes from a cow. how goddamn dumb are you?

You can very, very easily cook real meals for $50 a week.
>Whole chicken that you break down yourself
>Rice in bulk
>Pasta
>Eggs
>Milk
>Oats
>Sardines and/or tuna
>Assorted fresh produce
>Cheap organ meat like liver
>Whatever other meat is on sale
This is enough to provide actual variety and nutrition for the rest of your life if you put any effort into learning to cook.

You shuold just make enchilada casseroles

It's cheap as fuck, and will keep in your fridge for like a weak if you get tupperware.

>>18034663
those hotpoquitos are probably more nutritious than your powdered cum

>>18037469
They mean cow meat, retard.

>>18035827
I live in Seattle, one of the most expensive hell holes in the country, and I can find chicken for $1/lb fairly often. The trick is to hit up either asian or mexican grocery stores. Costco has some pretty good deals on thighs sometimes as well.

>>18037562
>meat that comes from a cow. how goddamn dumb are you?
not as dumb as you apparently

>>18034675
In what world do you need fruits and vegetables? Why do retard jews like you really believe this shit? You can absolutely survive on just these, you don't need lettuce and tomatoes to live, humans aren't as pathetic as you, kikelord, go eat your bugs and your soy elsewhere.

>>18036978
Why would you start a family if you can only afford $250 a month for food. What is wrong with you?

>>18037552
My apartment at the time had no kitchen except a shared one for the whole floor that was really gross

I live in the middle of a major city in the northeast. Legs/thighs are 1.29 right now and quarters are 1.19.

>>18034663
You're paying 32 dollars for this? Do you live in Canada?

>>18038425
>The 2013 horse meat scandal was a food industry scandal in parts of Europe
fuck off retard

>>18038480
because shit happens anon...mainly inflation. We're use significantly less electricity compared to last year but our bill is higher, i now grill with wood i collect on my property so i don't have to buy gas, dry my clothes on a clothesline instead of the dryer, changed my A/C from 69f to 78f yet every year i have less and less money to buy food but i still do pretty good for my budget
