>$2/box
You could get a loaf of bread for that price and have it last multiple meals. A dollop of PB&J shouldn't be more expensive than the splash of milk and spoonful of margarine or butter.

>>19210436
Instant ramen is much more expensive than ordinary pasta if you you compare the price per pound. Its supposed cheapness is a meme for illiterate niggers and lazy fratbros.

>>19210513
I can get 10 packs a ramen for a $1. They also come with seasoning, and they taste better because they’re fried.
I don’t even eat ramen anymore but there’s a reason it’s a poorfag staple.

>1 Cup Oatmeal (27c a serving)
>2 Cups Water
>1 Can Corn (50c a can)

1) Microwave Oatmeal and water for the recommended time
2) Stir in canned corn
3) Eat

>>19210534
>10 packs for $1
I hate Canada. $1 for 1 pack, or worse.

>>19210413
Do pancakes count? It's the bacon or the real syrup where they get you.

>>19210510
I bought a 20 pack of mac n cheese in bulk. Lmao.

>>19210555
Pancakes can be made cheap, and it's flexible since you can top them with whatever leftovers you have.
Honestly, I also made a lot of pasta carbonara with cheap ingredients, also here, bacon being the most expensive part I used but it's so simple and works well, fills you up and tastes good. Only 4 ingredients, pasta, egg, bacon and grated cheese.

>>19210510
>poor people are only allowed to eat lentils, beans, and the shittiest bread!

There's a difference between someone wasting cash on luxuries or someone simply buying more than 80 pounds of fucking beans. You can still buy some things when you are hard on cash.

dude i don’t even care
it looks beautiful, op. i absolutely would.

>>19210542
with or without the juice from the can?

>>19210413
ricin beans

the most expensive part is the talko seasoning paccket

>>19210555
>I hate Canada. $1 for 1 pack, or worse.
I don't know where he's buying ramen because even in my area the absolute cheapest ramen is 30 cents per individual pack.
anything beyond that can go as high as $5 per pack for imported stuff
>>19210542
I can't imagine mixing oats and corn, does it really taste good?
I personally would do rice and corn with some tobasco, you can get 16oz bags for 88 cents here and for me at least would be more cost effective too

>>19210958
yes, they are stupid and morally bad and god hates them.

i agree with your general sentiment but you can still get a better bang for your buck and not be stuck eating goyslop KD.

>>19210510
Sure and live off of peanut butter bread or have mac and cheese and eggs once and again

These are retarded cheap, come in a wide variety of kinds, get a few cans of condensed milk (also cheap, shelf life forever) make with that better than boxed mac in cheese

>>19211213
100% this. You simply can't find a better deal than these. Absolutely dirt cheap and they mog pretty much every other mac and cheese you can buy at a store.

>>19210542
damn, thats the winner in my book..

>>19211248
Thank you for your compliment, Anon

>>19211023
Unironically true

if you're so poor why are you eating on paper fucking disposable plates?

use a dish jesus christ.

>>19211451
Because he is almost as lazy as he is poor.

>>19210413
This would be a quarter of the price if you made your own mac and cheese instead of buying kraft and what I assume are instant mashed potatoes

15 dollar loaves of bread smothered in the "premium" torture free butter to go alongside as much salad and pre-cooked rotisserie chicken as a man and his dog can eat? Yeah man, being poor is rough. Only made 230 bucks pan handling today. But ya know, it's a man eat man world out there!

>>19211460
That's a omelette, I think

>>19210534
>I can get 10 packs a ramen for a $1
Even if this was true (it's not - prices are closer to 20 cents per pack minimum), that price would be around the same per kilocalorie as pasta or rice plus oil. And it would be much more expensive than wheat flour plus oil.

>>19210433
There's a box right there!

>>19211478
I miss when the KD cheese was so cheesy that you could add some of the packet to your scrambled eggs too and both those and the KD would be cheesy and delicious.

>>19211618
So fucking gross dude. Fuck sake.

>>19211460
>>19210510
kraft mac and cheese is $1/box where i live (not op), and eggs are $2.12/dozen. That looks like 2 eggs.
Assuming $4 per pack of 4 sticks of butter, and $3 per carton of milk, OP probably spent around $1.75 for that large meal, and around 1200 calories. That is cheap, but even if it wasn't, are poor people supposed to subsist on the absolute cheapest edible material they can get their hands on?

>>19211689
>are poor people supposed to subsist on the absolute cheapest edible material they can get their hands on?
If you're poor, you generally try to save as much as you can as you work towards no longer being poor. It sucks, but sometimes you just have to worry about getting your calories at whatever cost.
>t. was poor

>>19211710
I was also poor, and the chief consideration in my mind when I went to the store to spend the $10 giftcard I earned doing surveys online in my free time, was ensuring the maximum amount of calories per dollar. Rice and beans are just about undisputed in that area, if you're buying them in large quantities, but if you're not, something like OP's meal is not half bad.

>>19210413
>Pork loin on sale $0.99/lb x 12 oz
>Fresh sweet corn $0.49 each
>Red potato ~$0.25
>Serrano pepper ~$0.10
>Butter, salt, pepper ~$0.25

My $1.83 poor person meal.

You don't have to be dirt poor to like eating cheaply.

I make these all the time.

> Whole wheat tortilla - $3 for 10
> Kraft singles - $4 for 16
> Processed ham - $5 for 9oz, 24 slices
> Spring mix - $3 for 5oz

$0.3 for tortilla, $0.25 for cheese, $0.63 for ham, and like $0.08 max for spring mix plus another maybe $0.08 for condiments if I add them.

$1.34 total in terms of money eaten. Not the cheapest meal ever, but in terms of delicious/price ratio it's hard to beat.

rice and beans has good nutrition, rice and instamac not so much.

>>19210955
holy shit is the pic moving??

>>19211969
Thanks for the updoot kind stranger

This poor people thread needs more soup. Most are cheap, easy to make, and last a few days. Too many varieties to go into, but soup is the way for cheap nutrition and something beyond the standard staples of rice, bean, egg, bread, pasta, and potato. although you can always add those in as well. Soup also helps stretch the meat out.

>>19210413

>>19213440
it's fine for 50 cents a box. mix it with butter and a can of tuna, no milk necessary, square meal for less than 2 dollars. of course it's "ass" but what do you expect for 50 cents

>>19215333
Yes, I do it like that. After a couple of tries it's really a simple and tasty meal.

>>19211603
The best price I ever found was a 6-pack for $1 in modern times. I remember the hayday of 10-cent per pack ramen noodles. I miss those days.

>>19210413
This but replace the eggs with ground beef and mix it in with the mac, that shits God tier poorfaggot food

>>19216097
You can make a proper meal for 50 cents.

Bag of these some cheap ham hocks,follow direction on back of package, get some cheap day old bread to dunk in
Split pea soup last 2-3 days

>>19211603
Yes, it is 25 cents a pack which may be higher than regular pasta although with pasta you don't just eat plain boiled pasta you add ingredients upping the cost
Ramon is boiling water and adding the flavor pack-25 cents.

>>19210413
Spaghetti 28p
baked beans 50p
sweetcorn 56p
cheese £4.80
A filling meal for less than two pounds per meal, most of that stuff above can provide more than one meal.

>>19210510
Dogshit advice, if you're poor enough to be struggling for food then you cannot afford to have that bad of a diet. Aside from having to deal with health issues from vitamin deficiencies, you'd have to deal with near constant hunger pains/light headedness while working your likely highly physical job. If half the people in this thread came under hard times they'd fucking die

>>19212960
beans have ok nutrition particularly soybeans which have complete protein
white rice on the other hand is entirely empty calories and worse for you than enriched white bread

>>19210413
Kippers and Triscuits with some pepperoncini and banana peppers. $2.00 total, I guess.

>>19213173
I kinda agree. Corn on its own is just below the threshold to be worth actually eating. Cornbread on the other hand is amazing.

Chicken Kiev £3.05
Potatoes 70p
Peas £1.35
Just over £2 a meal.

I like eating kraft mac and cheese. It was originally intended for the great depression. How fitting that we would still be eating it during the great recession.
I also like the protein shakes (picrel). Just one of these things can effectively replace a meal, or at least stop the hunger pains for several hours. Also, 12 of them costs $30. You can't go a restaurant and get 3 meals for $30.

These are cheap and great when fried, also chicken heats and livers

This is delicious and cheap meat

>>19217382
Hell yeah. I add some onions, carrots, and celery to mine but yeah it like $1 per meal.

>>19210422

I'm gonna make soup tomorrow night, thanks.

Bullion cubes plus Plus beans plus water equals one meal. 20 oz of beans for $3, 25 bully and cubes for $2.50. 40 cents per meal. Top that assholes.

>>19218876
Just beans? That's too much insoluble fiber to have for more than once meal a week. We eat to live, not to survive.

>>19218148
just chicken broth and drop dumplings made from eggs and flour. it's good if you get the misture just right. it's easy to fuck up †bh

Eggs £2.40
Bell Peppers £1.20
Onion 12p
Butter £1.99
Chips £2.50

Omelette, £2.20ish per meal. Food isn't cheap any more, the above used to be closer to £1.20, but it is still far cheaper than eating out.

I got called a poor piece of shit and that I should die for posting this.

>>19220013

>>19220020
>are microwavable
unlike the ones I have*, although it depends on the meal if it causes sparks

>>19220010
I think this is acceptable. i haven't had frozen tendies in ages, I should buy some

Rice £1.75
Breaded chicken fillets £2.00
Curry/Sweet and sour/other sauce £1.50

£1.85 per meal

>>19217306
I use ground pork, much cheaper. My local meat shop does whole pork shoulders for $1.60 a pound about every 4 or 5 weeks and they'll grind it for you at no additional charge.

>>19218876
>20 oz of beans for $3
What? I can get 16oz for $1 all day long at my local grocery store.

>>19211176
is that dog food?

>>19218236
I had this once and while the flavour was honestly fine there was something about chewing on and manipulating with my own tongue, the texture of another tongue, that made me sick to my stomach instantly.

I like to use an entire stick of butter when I make my great recession kraft mac & cheese. I could just be imagining it, and it may be totally a placebo effect, but the extra fat seems to just make it taste just a little bit more decadent, like breading a steak

>>19222543
fat is good for you and highly satiating the best part of the steak some would say

>>19222514
Make some buckwheat crepes with beer
Turn on your broiler
Fry off some bacon
in the bacon grease, par off some shrimps
Take some grated cheese, the shrimps, and roll up the crepes (with some fresh tarragon if you got it)
In the pan, bring some heavy cream just to a simmer
Add salt, white pepper, and white American cheese, melt it
Put your crepes in an oven-safe dish, cover with cream sauce, and broil them to melt the cheese inside and finish cooking the shrimps
Pull when cooked, top it with the bacon (and more tarragon if you have it, otherwise paprika or pimento
Serve it with the rest of your beer and some toast to mop up the sauce
Cheers, you're eating like a proper Frenchman

Hello this is Chef John from FoodWishes.com with... Kewpie™ Airfied Mayo Chickpeas! This might sound a little bit strange but it works. It works really, really well. And unlike the more popular Chickpea dishes, this requires very little effort and almost no finesse or technique. There's no grinding or sifting involved.

The first thing you want to do is get your can of chickpeas and drain the liquid from them. Some people might want to use a sifter but you don't actually have to.

We'll go ahead and fill the can with water and drain it again to get rid of the preservatives and salt. Now dump the can of chickpeas into an airfryer and set it for 7 minutes. Depending on your airfryer you may want to set it longer for that extra crispy texture.

We'll go ahead and get out Kewpie™ not-mayonnaise out and add a generous serving of it over our chickpeas but not generous enough that it overwhelms the chickpeas. We'll give it a quick stir with the spoon and that's it. My take on what I consider a proper mediterranean meal.
And as always... enjoy!

>>19222658
When I was 14 or so I went fishing with my grandpa on the Gallatin
His '32 Chevy was in A River Runs Through It
He caught a 7lb rainbow trout while we were out
His hands were covered in mosquitos, he was working hard to bring it to shore
I remember him wiping the backs of his hands, crushing all the mosquitos, painting his hands with blood
He finally reeled in the trout to where I could carry it out of the water against my chest, it took all of my strength, the trout was incredibly strong
He taught me how to kill trout by knocking them unconscious with pliers and then letting them suffocate on land
But this trout
This trout kicked back for an hour
Concussed but not dead, hanging from a tree, never gave up, no matter how hard we bashed it
It was a good trout, even in death, and in dinner, I will never forget that trout.
But I bought a kit gun for fishing in that trout's memory.
Pliers are not enough. Shoot your fish, show them that much respect.

E Europoor here, when you're too poor for bread you make polenta or mamaliga and eat it hot while its melty with some cheese.

its yellow cornmeal savory porridge basically, even a fucking dog can cook this shit you just boil some water add salt and some yellow cornmeal and stir until it becomes a porridge and the contrast between the salty hot polenta and the cold butter and sour cream and cheese you add to it is very tasty


also the fact that only 3 posts talk about soups here is fucking insane, make a pot of soup you dumb cunt, throw some carrots onions celery garlic peppers in a fucking pot, look up veggie stew/soup recipes, I fucking love a hearty veggie soup with sour cream and chillis on the side

not to knock on frozen shit but it will always be cheaper to buy vegetables in bulk and cook them over time, just like someone else said instant ramen is not that economic its just normalfag lazy person food for people too lazy to boil salted water and noodles

Rice butter salt and pepper throw in a scrambled egg with green onions for that extra

Chips £2.50

Chips have gotten ridiculously expensive for some reason. You can get cheaper, chips are cheaper in Iceland (£2.00), and there are also the Tesco value brand sausages if you want, but you don't get as much meat in them.

One last meal, Soup

Potato croquettes £1.00

For dessert,
Milk chocolate digestives 85p
Ice cream £2.20
Swiss roll £1.55
Custard 85p
Yoghurt 95p

I do believe it is still possible to eat well on a budget, being poor does not mean I have to eat rice and oats every day. I have posted a week's worth of hot meals for a total just under £15. This does not include the cost of condiments or electricity to cook the meals, but is still far cheaper than eating out. For comparison, a single small cheese pizza and a side of cheesy wedges from Dominos costs £13, not counting delivery. But don't assume that cooking entirely from scratch will be the cheapest option, For example, I use jars of sauces and tinned soup, simply because they are faster and cheaper than making my own. The frozen section can also have meals that work out cheaper, eg, pizza, and the vegetables and meats there can be cheaper than in the fresh aisles. Research, find your own balance.

Most of the prices mentioned are from mid-range store-brand products from a mid-range supermarket, name-brands are just not worth the price any more. Like I said in another post, you can get cheaper if you shop around (For example, cheddar cheese is cheaper in Aldi and Lidl than Tesco, sugar is cheaper in Sainsbury's, chicken nuggets are cheaper in Iceland) and look at the "value" range, though be careful and look at the ingredients and the price-per-100g, make sure you are getting actual value and are not being cheated into eating garbage.

This exercise has highlighted to me just how expensive food is getting, it was only a couple of years ago that I was getting sauces for 80p and soup for 50p, so that's an increase of 50% there alone with no end in sight. It's a complete disgrace. These are hard times, watch out out there lads.
