Instead of syrup, make pancakes and pour condensed milk over them, cheap, good

>>19071325
Gonna copy and expand a bit my post from other thread:
pseudobolognese made of grounded pork, carrots, onions, oil/lard, red lentils for additional thickness passata and spices
barley cooked with split yellow pea/lentils/chickpea with carrots, fried onions and assorted hot dried spices (smoked paprika, pepperoncini, curry, thyme).
lentil/chickpea soup - lentils, carrots, onions, potatoes, lard, if you want to splurge - grounded pork or cheap bacon, passata, dried spices like cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, pepperoncini.
Split yellow pea soup with potatoes
homemade sauerkraut (shredded cabbage left in brine for a week or two) cooked with lentils, carrots and onions with lard/bacon and favorite spices
rice, barley or corn grits with homemade apple sauce for desserts.

Also just use ketchup, mustard or cheap spices, like dried jalapeno, thyme, smoked powdered paprika to goad your taste buds.

I have blood in my shits since a couple months but I suspect it's hemorrhoids because I'm laying in bed 24/7 and not food related

>>19071325
Rice, with tuna and an egg

I need to penny pinch as well so I bought 3 cans of kidney beans for £1.80 and half a kilo of 20% fat beef mince for £2.20. I reckon it should make 5 hearty meals with rice and cheese.

Is that poorfag enough or can I go even lower?

super easy healthy burritos that you can customize to your liking (add ground beef, chicken, sour cream, whatever) and make in bulk and freeze

>>19072826
i'm just coasting through school with zero debt into a job making low six figures, so until the latter happens i'm crunching money
also since i don't live in a shithole i eat pretty well as long as i don't waste money on goyslop and consumerist excess, and still get 80+g protein a day

>>19072826
My brother in christ what are you even buying to spend that much. I’m not even penny pinching and I feed 2 mouths for probably $250-300 per month in groceries

>>19071325
Chicken thighs are extremely cheap, if I was in an emergency I'd eat that along with rice and lentils, which supposedly is the most nutritious legume out there.

>>19072744

>eggs

If you just lay in bed all day it's better to reduce your calorie intake to 1400

I live in Scandinavia, shit is expensive here to be fair.
But I also try to primarily eat organic stuff.
And I work from home, so I cook two meals every day.
It all adds up. And I have a good job, so I want to enjoy nice meals and fresh ingredients of a decent quality.

>>19072795
That sounds expensive

>>19072690
What colour?
Blood in your shit is not something to be ignored

>monthly grocery budget
>250 euros
>struggling
what? have you never been poor? for a single person you can eat like a king for 250 euro/month.

my go-to poorfag slop consisted of rice/potatoes, a can of vegetable soup, and like 1/4lb ground beef. all purchased at steep discounts with the beef having been bagged and frozen for 1-2 months at that point. you can add frozen/canned vegetables to make it healthier; fresh veggies are for rich people.

1.brown beef
2.season it to taste
3.continue cooking beef until toasty and delicious
4.add small amount of water to deglaze pan
5.add canned soup, simmer to taste
6.put on rice/potatoes

all the fellow poorfags I've cooked this for ended up loving it. real pile of slop but it's cheap and tasty.

>>19073030
you realize most organic labeling is a scam and means nothing, right? literally a grift.

>>19074159
>and means nothing
It means that it's organic, duh. So water, salt, and baking soda can't be labelled as "organic".

Why the fuck soy meat is so expensive? It's more expensive than real meat. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Manufacturers love to substitute real meat with soy meat, so it must be cheaper, right? How do I buy it for cheap?

>repostan my poor bastard's cassoulet
soak navy beans overnight. fry up bite-size sausage slices (or hot dog slices, whatever you got) in a sauce pan. rough chop 1/2 onion and and garlic clove. Add water until onions are half way submerged. bring to light boil (but above a simmer) and put on lid for 2-3 minutes or until the sausage is brown. Add beans and a little more water. Bring to boil and boil for a couple minutes. season. top with sliced tomatoes, window greens, celery leaves, maybe some louisiana hot sauce, melted butter or mozzarella--if you can somehow find them cheap, roast cherry tomatoes or pearl onions and warm them up at the end in the stew--alternatively, you could put a portion in an ovenproof bowl, cover top with bread crumbs and stick under the broiler until golden brown. serve hot.

>celery
not poor people food anymore, not since the schizo told people to drink it.

>>19072734
>Is that poorfag enough or can I go even lower?
1 bag of dried kidney beans=6-8 cans of cooked, canned(tinned, yeah?,) beans.
Should be instructions on the bag--If not,
>sort, rinse, soak overnight
>rinse again and cover with 2x as much water as amount of beans in the pot(they swell massively--more than you'd think.)
>bring to a boil stirring occasionally--reduce to simmer then don't touch 'em for an hour.
>check for soft--don't salt 'em until there where you want them softness-wise--season to taste then let simmer for 10 more mins.
WA-LA!!
6-8 cans worth of beans for the price of 1.
they'll keep for several days in the fridge. They freeze ok too.

>>19074275
you could just skip the celery leaves all together. all the toppings are optional. but you get like a dozen ribs out of one bunch, even in nyc or la it won't cost more than $5. don't waste any of it and use the leaves for garnish.

>>19072690
You okay bro?

Not sure if quality bait or actual retard

>>19074304
There is a third position...
No really. Why would he say he's in scandinavia and post in US$??
He didn't post in €...
& you'd have to be either a gourmand or absolute buffoon to spend the equivalent $750 US in "Scandi munny" whatever that is.
Where's my fuckin' error?

>>19071325
Here you go, my current meal I eat whenever I'm at home.
I come up with something new every once in a while but this is really agreeing with me, I started eating it because I still have a lot of supplies for, got tired of eating, the "thanksgiving bowl" of mashed potatoes, stuffing, peas, corn, green beans, chicken, and gravy.
I got some really good deals on some of the stuff after Thanksgiving, everything is from a can or box, very easy, but this open face sandwich takes much less time to microwave each meal.

>>19074329
Oh also if any of my potatobros are getting tired of microwaving normal potatoes and want a healthy dessert, check this out
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bruce-s-Yams-Cut-Sweet-Potatoes-in-Syrup-Canned-Vegetables-40-oz/10290902
Two and a half pound can of yams in syrup for $3.
Even if you're not poor it's kind of retarded not to keep a few of these in your larder in case the world ends or something but you still want a treat.

>>19074339
I usually just bake them and add butter cinnamon and brown sugar

>>19074343
Yeah that's better (and healthier) but I don't have a dishwasher in my apartment and don't like doing dishes so I try to get as much cheap microwaveable stuff as possible to just wash a few bowls a day until I get my own place.

>>19074349
>ooh look at me! i'm a fancy bitch and have a microwave in my apartment
not all of us are so lucky

>>19074350
I will trade you my $40 microwave for a dishwasher

>>19074353
Why? I have a dishwasher but clean my dishes by hand. I feel it's faster to scrub you plate after eating than washing it in a machine for hours.

>>19074362
Sounds like a wonderful deal for you, then. You don't need your dishwasher and you feel misfortunate for not having a microwave.

>>19074374
Ok deal

Potatoes, rice, dried legumes,cheap stewing meat, offal, frozen veggies/fish. Cheap frozen fish is usually cheaper than canned fish, you don't get the good fat though so a couple of cans of deenz is good too.

I eat like a poorfag most of the time so I can afford luxury ingredients once in a while.

>>19071325
Potatoes are your friend.
Buy meat on sale and cook it with potatoes.
I got a sweet deal on ground beef, so I made a cottage pie.
Easy to do, super filling, very nutritious, and cheap as dirt.
Sometimes I buy steak because it is on sale for a ridiculous price.
If nothing is on sale I buy pork because it is always cheap.
You can braise pork until it falls apart and then make enchiladas out of it.
Also learn how to cook with flour.
Check out these two internet chefs because they are great teachers:
https://www.youtube.com/@foodwishes
https://www.youtube.com/@ChefJeanPierre
Once you learn some of their basic techniques you can make whatever you want.
Good luck, fren.
I hope you feel better soon.

>>19074362
I wash my dishes and then pile them up in the dishwasher.
When the dishwasher is full I run it.
I like to sterilize my dishes and make my glasses sparkle.

>>19074282
this is peak poorfaggotry. exactly what I seek!
