Hey guys, I'm in college and trying to make my way. Can anyone direct me to a place where I can learn how to make really cheap food that isn't ramen every night? Thanks.

big bag of rice, big bag of dried beans, lentils, vegetables, eggs, milk, and whole chickens.

The cheapest of the cheap. All you have to do is learn to cook.

For example, buy a whole chicken, break it down, cook it. With the remains you can make chicken broth with veggies, buy some noodles and add them with some chicken for a large vat of chicken noodle soup that you can freeze and take out whenever.

buy pasta and store brand jarred sauce, canned parmesan cheese should be cheap

learn to make rice and beans. or eat re-fried beans with hot sauce and rice on the side

giants bags of frozen chicken and bbq sauce are also easy and cheep

for vegetables eat store brand canned corn, green beans etc.

buy store brand white bread and eat pbj for lunch or get some velvetta type cheese and make grilled cheese sandwiches. pair cheese sandwiches with cheap store brand tomato soup

Iceberg lettuce is cheap too pair with chopped mini carrot (like $1 per bag) and cheap ranch or thousand island.


If you find ground beef on sale buy it and a tomato and store brand mustard. combine with your sandwich bread, velveeta, and iceberg and you have a cheeseburger

buy iced tea mix instead of soda. It can be very cheap and doesn't even need sugar to taste good.

If you live like this you should not spend too much money and it should be better than fast food.

You get some chicken necks or chicken feet or whatever your butcher is selling for cheap (feet not so much these days). You brown them in a cast iron pan or a baking dish. Then you simmer them for 3 hours or pressure cook them for 45 minutes. Strain, chill, skim the solidified surfaced fat, and you're done. Reduce if you're smart. Clarify with egg whites if you're an autistic faggot like me.

How about chicken and a tomato gravy sauce? Does anyone have any spices or anything for that? I have literally no expericence with spices and I would like to become slightly more familiar...Kind of different from where I originally planned with this post.

I'm glad you bumped the thread, I don't want anyone forgetting I smoke weed, then I wouldn't even want to smoke weed anymore.

Oh no, someone is smoking weed.It's making a huge difference in my life and I need to get all sarcastic and bitchy about it.
Honestly, my favorite thing when stoned is popsicles for the drymouth.Lime , orange cream, fudgesicles.

This. Like, I don't do heroin and never would but if someone mentions it online I'm not going to go have a whinge about it because it just doesn't affect my life.
