Here's what I'm gonna eat tomorrow, which I'm pretty sure will cost me under $5. Let's see if I'm right.

Breakfast: coffee with milk and some biscuits.
About 7¢ for the coffee, about 27¢ for the milk and about 33¢ for the biscuits, so about 67¢ total.
It's looking good so far. Let's continue.

Lunch: chili'd meatloaf wtih tomato gravy, garlicky buttered potatoes and an endive salad.
That's about 54¢ for the meatloaf, about 15¢ for the tomato gravy, about 55¢ for the potatoes and about 25¢ for the salad, so about $1.49 for lunch.

Dinner: mixed vegetables garlic fried rice topped with a fried egg.
That'll be about 70¢.

That's about $2.86 total. I'm sure I'm gonna snack on something tomorrow. Probably get a hot sausage on my way home, so that's another $2. And likely have a piece of cantaloupe, about another 10¢ or so.
That's $4.96 total and about 2300 calories for the day.
So yeah. You can cook what I cook and still eat junk food on your way home from work because junk food is okay on occasion for under $5.

Regulating your money as 5 a day is moronic, you should think about spending 35 a week or better yet 140 a month
If you can buy in bulk working with a budget is easier

>> No.7998454

So that's $35 a week. You can actually get a lot from a supermarket if you're not a complete retard:

>Week's worth of drinking water
>Week's worth of bread
>A shitload of rice
>A shitload of noodles
>Peanut butter
>Week's worth of veggies
>Week's worth of fruit
>Cheap meat
>Milk

You might even have money left over for more stuff.

Water is pretty cheap whenever I see it at the grocers. I never get it though, because I live in an area with good tapwater, but I would understand buying it if you live in some place with shit quality tapwater.

Like $2-3 for 24 bottles or so iirc.

The US is like having that guy on your FPS team that only cares about his K/D ratio, despite your team losing all of the objectives and ultimately losing the game.

After you lose, he then boasts about how his K/D ratio is the best.

You would think that, wouldn't you? Yet to this day our economy is based on keeping war going on multiple fronts. So really we didn't learn a thing beyond keeping the conflicts going without conscription or actual declaration of war so the public doesn't have to give a shit and no one minds it.
