Where do you go if you want to eat a full meal for less than $10? It seems like everywhere I go, from fast food, to fast casual, to a sit-down restaurant, they want to get you to spend $10 at a bare minimum just for your visit. I can't afford to eat from the grocery store anymore, thanks to inflation. What kind of food is good on a budget?

I'm with you my dude. I think the standard meals at every place are way overpriced. Dollar menus at Taco Bell and McDicks are still alright tho. You'd be surprised how full you can feel with only 2 McChickens.

dumbass. you can't afford NOT to from the grocery store. you just need to know how to game the sales. it's easy to save close to 50% on groceries if you plan ahead and look at sales and coupons, don't just go in with no plan and pay full price.

Get a big as wok with a good gas burner. Learn to make noodles, rice etc. on the wok. It costs around $1 per portion for an average adult. You don't even need a house just a shack with a roof, then you can just make shit on the wok. How fucking easy is that?

As a 1 meal a day male (not a diet choice just naturally always ate that way) who's not a manlet with a semi active job, I in fact do eat 3k calorie meals daily usually more if you include the beer idk how much it is. 20 beers (light) gotta be around 2k on its own. 29yo, 6' 190 pounds. On the off days I don't drink, most recently dinner was a rotisserie chicken, about two paper plates of broccoli stacked kinda thick, and 2 potatoes? Might have been 3.

i used to abuse that dollar off survey questions by ordering two $1 bean and chese burritos and then getting $1 off with the coupon. i would then add hemp seed to immitate rice. i bought the hempseed on ebt.... you can go to whole foods bulk asile and ring up hempseed as granola or something and get it at $2/lb instead of $12/lb

Ok, you can get 12.88 pounds of rice at my local Walmart for $10. At 1650 calories per pound, and assuming a 2000 calorie per day diet, you can have enough rice for 10.6 days for $10. That's like 32 meals.
