Rice and beans in bulk

>>19336640
tpbp, also as a pork appreciator you can add some smoked pork loin/butt and/or fried chopped up bacon to bean sloppa for flavor if you get bored of it. a little goes a long way

>>19336627

beans and rice

>>19336684
not that guy but yeah fuck off and stop raping the English langue you ugly nigger,try saying that retarded work or any of your zoomer tiktok memes IRL

I've never been poor in my life. Must be hell to limit what you eat because of money.

>>19336640
lived off this and now money is getting tight so prolly gonna live off this again. add some soy sauce and some extra olive oil for the fats and ur good

>>19336627
i am a poofag budget cooking master. but i saw that word and decided not to help op.

Top sirloin. Cheap as fuck compared to filet or ribeyes which are my favorite. Gets your jaw a workout. I'm on 85% meat and dairy diet. Beef is like half that.

>>19336471
This cost me like $28 total (Canadian lmao).
Literal poorfags will go to Wendys and pay $25 for a portion of high fructose goyslop.

>>19336640
it's 1000% this
buy one of those 20 lb bags of basmati
look up chef john's persian rice recipe
(substitute turmeric for saffron because nigga that shit is expensive lol)

good eating.
also get food stamps

>>19337482
I wouldn't call it hell.
but there are only two things I envy richfags: medical security, and being able to buy whatever food you want

>>19336471
20 lb. burlap sack of potatoes.

>>19336471
beans/lentils/rice/potatoes, Mixed veggie bags are a dollar. squash, cabbage. Top/bottom sirloin, chicken drumsticks, and pork chops/pork ribs for meat. Shop late at night at 24 hr stores to get discounted yogurt or dairy products. You can get a decent amount of noodles for cheap.

RICE

AND

BEANS

>>19336471
Chickpeas.
Boils like beans, nutrients like lentils but chewier texture. Defrosts really well.
Mash with olive oil and tahini for hummus (as spread with veggies is TOP tasty).
Deep fry for falafel.
Works well in woks as well.

>>19337871
>Gets your jaw a workout
Eh if you cook it nice and rare and it's decent quality top sirloin it's quite tender, the moment you start verging into medium doneness it's chewy as hell though. It's actually a god tier cut for sous vide for that reason

>>19338142
i know plenty of poorfags with good health insurance
like my employees

>>19339267
also delicious in curries

rice
chicken
peppers
carrots
peas
onions
galric cloves
im assuming you have oil and spices like tumeric and paprika and aromatics
throw all that shit after browning the chicken and cooking the onions and toasting rice with the spices
lob in the chopped vegetables
let it sweat
pour water
let that shit boil then simmer until preferred consistency and viola i survived many months on this budget meal

>>19336684
shutup nigger

>>19338108

30$ box of chicken legs on sale.
bake chicken with rice and vegetables and eat
save bones and boil into broth
make soup from broth
profit.

Just store the bones in your freezer until your ready to let them simmer over the entire day.

Also yeah hummus as the other anon said is good, chickpeas, tahini, garlic/lemon and blend together until paste. Get cheap flatbread and enjoy.

>>19336471
Mah nigga. Check out picrel.

>>19338108
Looks great. I love caprese salad.
You have a good recipe for chimichurri?

>>19336627
Based beyond belief.

>>19336471
Rice and beans and whatever is cheapest/on sale at the grocery store RIGHT NOW. Buying a ton of stuff at once is inferior to shopping frequently and taking advantage unless you are stocking up on a specific sale item.

>>19336471
>no mention of canned tuna
for shame. mix that shit with a bit of mayo for texture and lay on the sawdust parmesan cheese and you have pure deliciousness.
works well with any kind of cheese really

a peanut butter, banana, honey, tortilla wrap made of whole wheat will do you fine. your peanut butter and whole grain tortilla make a complete protein, bananas are always great for vitamins and minerals and some honey for an energy boost. what more do you need? honey might be a little expensive but you're not using a bunch of it so it'll last awhile

One of my favourite povo polish recipies is our take on the weiner shnitzel.
All you need is a whole chicken (most cost effective).
Prepare the breasts like in this video:
https://youtu.be/3nuN4lS7bmc
On the side you have mash or whole potatoes with butter.
Finally add a salad consisting of shredded cucumber with cream and a generous amount of salt and pepper and you're eating like a king.

>>19341287
Canned tuna is almost $2 a can now anon...

>>19341287
Deenz are better, cheaper, and not full of contaminants.

>>19339303
What's the deductible? If it's $8,000, that's not health insurance. That's just hospitalization insurance.

>>19336471
Cabbage costs fuck all, buy a whole cabbage throw it in a pot with any mince + curry powder + chicken noodle soup mix and you've got a nutritious slop that actually tastes pretty good.

I've got a full recipie that's a little more complicated I make regularly even though I'm no longer a poorfag because it tastes so good/is so easy.

We eat like poors. Lotsa produce, a little everything else. To eat on the cheap, it's more important to shop for deals than to have a set of "staples."
We just buy whatever is cheap and looks good when we go to the store and our pantry is mostly beans and pulses with some rice, noodles and pasta.

>>19342448
post full recipe, am interested in cabbage slop

>>19342470
This is from memory:

1 cabbage
1 onion
500g any mince
Optional handful of Assorted vegetables (whatever is on hand, carrot, leek, celery, corn, peas etc)
Curry powder to taste
Fish sauce to taste
Soy sauce to taste
Garlic
Black pepper
Chicken noodle soup mix (makes 1L)
Toast + butter
Cornflour

Brown the fuck out of mince, add onion and garlic once it's almost there
Make a well and drop in some curry powder and toast it a bit
Splash in fish sauce
Deglaze with 1L of water
Add chicken noodle soup mix
Add cabbage + optional other veggies
Simmer/reduce till vegetables are cooked
Taste for seasoning after reducing cause it might already have enough salt depending on your soup mix, either way add as much cracked black pepper as you feel comfortable adding
Make a cornflour slurry and add bit by bit and stir, you want it to be slop consistency and not soup because of the next step
Butter some toast
Serve by putting generous heap on each piece of toast.

I dunno what your country is like but I can make this for like $15 and it's 3-4 meals, it's filling tasty and full of vegetables, been making it since university days and will probably feed it to my children and children's children.

>>19336471
oatmeal. ive eaten it so often i can eat it plain (cooked obviously). a spoon of peanut butter and a dash of dairy (i like light cream) is my work week breakfast. my coworkers used to look at my oatmeal with disdain until their morning fast food orders went over $10 a day.

To eat cheaply, you have to love pork, or learn to love it. Stick with roasts so you're not paying for bones and gristle.
Turmeric, cumin, and ginger can make almost anything edible. Think: Badia-brand Jamaican curry powder.
Lentils are a dollar a pound, and so much more satsifying and versitile than beans. No soaking overnight, and they cook quickly.
Cook with butter or you'll be miserable. Get the fat/acid ratio right, and you'll be happy with most anything.

Just a few pointers. Picrel probably cost two bucks to make.

>>19342713
I save even more money by using Greek yogurt instead of whole milk. It adds a little sweetness, too. No actual refined sugar for me.

>>19343308
wtf, recipe for picrel? looks delicious

>>19343344
It's a simple stir-fry with pork loin, fresh white mushroom, green onion, yellow onion, fresh ginger root, Worcestershire sauce, and a fuckton of turmeric. Add bell pepper and ramen and it's almost pork lo mein.
