/ck/ - Food & Cooking

30 cans of refried beans. A bag of flour to make tortillas. Wa la, delicious bean burritos for a month.

>>9225880
I can do much better than Paltrow but 30 bucks a week is still quite a small amount. Especially for a family.

Not to say that we need to give out more money to bums, just that 30 bucks isn't a lot of money.

>>9225880
>this is what rich people think poor people eat

kek the delusion is unreal

>>9225880
i know i can make a fuck ton of chicken alfredo pasta + salad + bread that fed me for week for about 8 bucks

>you would literally get more food just spending your $29 on mcchickens only

toplel

>>9225880
>spending 15% of the budget on a fucking avocado
Much worse than 70 cents worth of limes- if this broad had picked up any rice than the limes could have made it really sing.

i want to say this must be so that other rich people can fully realize what 29$ worth of "rich people food" actually looks like, and realize that it isn't very much, but i know she's just being retarded.

Also I think that this also highlights the whole "eating healthy is cheap" retardation that people keep parroting

>A dozen limes can be as cheap as 98 cents
>each lime has 20 calories
>Buy 25 dozen limes with 25 dollars
>That's 6,000 calories of limes
>spend the remaining 4 dollars on a 5 pound bag of flour
>That's 8,000 calories
>14,000 calories
>2,000 per day
I don't know, seems reasonable to me.

>Not eating flour paste
>Spending more than 10$ a month on food

>>9225880
I still want to believe she was trolling with this.

The eggs, tortillas, beans and some of the vegetables weren't terrible choices. I would have added a very small amount of meat (bacon, since a tiny amount is a lot of flavor), more frozen vegetables, rice, oats and some cheap fruit.

>>9225880
Considering SNAP ("Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program") is not meant to be the sole source of money for food for a family (hence the "supplemental" part), literally anyone can do better than Paltrow because she doesn't understand what she's doing.

I work for the state agency that adminsters SNAP as well as other public assistance programs. A single person with no income or expenses gets $194 dollars a month in SNAP. A three person household gets $511. They don't have to spend $29 a week.

Oh and they probably spend it all on potato chips and soda.

>>9225909
SNAP stands for supplemental nigger assistance program, key word supplemental.

>>9225957
save up for a bag of sugar and you could rock lime pastries all week

"I could take this money, I could feed myself for a month. I buy milk, I buy flour, I buy vitamins, I boil them down into little energy balls to sustain me." ~ Charlie Kelly

i spent $30 earlier today on pack of butcher bacon, pint each of blueberries and raspberries, quart each of peaches and pums

how did i do?

>>9225952
it is if you're not stupid

just buy a fuckload of peanut butter and rice or potatoes

you can live for years on that shit

>>9225972
I seriously hope you're trolling because if this is where my taxes are going I'm going to fucking kill someone.

>>9225952
Eating healthy is cheap in 95% of the world, because the cheapest food happens to be fruit/veggies/beans/etc. that are sold directly to the public. In America, most of those products are sold to manufacturers as ingredients or as feed for livestock, so very little of it actually makes it to the public, making it much more expensive for most people to eat healthy foods consistently

>>9226049
>>9225972
The amount varies by state and in some the person needs to work at least part time to get it. And from what I saw they seem to spend it all on frozen pizza and soda.

Technically speaking SNAP is meant to be supplemental so that poor people can actually afford things like fresh fruit and vegetables and the like, but in practice it tends to end up most of their food budget. I think they should limit what it can buy back to fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, grains and legumes and cut out stuff like soda and junk. It won't happen because soda lobbyists work too hard for that to happen though.

>>9225913
I know right?

>what's for dinner tonight mom?
>lettuce and egg with peas honey

>>9226060
You are describing common eating habits, but don't imply that inexpensive staples aren't available in America. Walk into any supermarket or wal-mart and you can easily find rice, beans, produce, etc.

The real difference is not availability of food, but rather the lack of cooking knowledge and wide availability of cheap junk food.

>>9226005
Save about $5 for the grilled charlie budget

>>9226049
Not trolling, but like the other anon said, it varies by state.

Flour, rice, beans, oil, tomatoes, pasta, eggs, a chicken breast, less than $20

Wa la

>$29

If you live in LA like Gwyneth Paltrow, that will buy you about 3 organic bananas at Whole Foods

>>9226134
seven limes only cost seven dimes

>>9226134
Not him but depending on location limes can be pretty cheap, all seven may have cost just a dollar and they can provide a lot of flavor for several people. Avocados on the other hand are always expensive, at the very cheapest that one would cost like $2 and is only good for one meal, and likely not enough for an entire family. The limes weren't the smartest choice but they also weren't necessarily the worst.

I think she was in NY for this though so I don't know how that affects lime prices.

Everyone in the west was wrong about evolution in Lysenko's time since they were Darwinists (no I'm not a crazy Lysenkoist or creationist, Darwinism is a bad name for the modern theory of evolution), and you still have Lamarckians in the West.

$1.49 before tax or after...? Which state?

We don't have any special deals on Value Picks here. Just $1.39 plus tax for the value sandwiches AFAIK. Which accounting for currency value differences means ours are cheaper somehow.

>Everyone in the west was wrong about evolution in Lysenko's time since they were Darwinists (no I'm not a crazy Lysenkoist or creationist, Darwinism is a bad name for the modern theory of evolution), and you still have Lamarckians in the West.

And yet every country in the western hemisphere managed to avoid people starving to death, because they didn't believe that plants spontaneously evolve into whatever you wish for, but Lysenko did.

This is the REAL challenge. Are you a bad enough dude to last a MONTH in (American) poverty?
http://playspent.org/html/

>no potatoes
>no rice
>no noodles
No attempt at all to buy cheap, calorie dense food. Eggs are fine, but of course when you spend your income on overpriced """""organic"""""" vegetables, you can't feed yourself properly. What, she thinks poor people just eat like, boiled leeks and raw tomatoes for every meal?

>>9226303
And when American scientists were right, they created the longest and most dangerous Mexican standoff in history. American scientific development throughout the 20th century until the late 70s is one long human rights violation. The difference between the Lysenko and the US's scientists is that Lysenko caused harm by accident.
I'm the first to admit that the USSR did unique things that were bad, but to claim they were especially bad is to be incredibly ideological and anti-intellectual

You could get 1700 calories per day off of mcdoubles for $30

>>9226332
Gwyneth Paltrow thinks "organic" is anything other than a scam to raise the profits of grocery stores. Who cares what that mousy twat thinks?

2 gallons of milk = $5
Bag of rice = $2
Box of pasta = $1
Bag of brown sugar = $2
Cylinder of oatmeal = $2
2.5lb bag of chicken = $4
1lb of ground beef = $3
Eggs = $2
Bag of beans = $2
Jar of sauce = $2

...that leaves $4 left for broccoli or other greens.

>>9226338
>Lysenko caused harm by accident.
>Communism kills people accidentally.

Remember the Holodomor? That was a good time.
Bodies in the streets, people reduced to cannibalism, eating their own children.
Classic.

3 pounds of ground beef - $9
Two loaves of bread - $2
Half pound of cheddar at deli - $4
Bag of potatoes - $2-3
Dozen eggs - $3
Margarine - $3
Half pound German Bologna - $2.50
Condiments - free saved from fast food places.
4 Hungryman/Boston Market TV dinners - $12
Noodles and spaghetti sauce - $3

This is what I used to get when wageslave, still not too far off from what I get now.

>>9226263
>you should be happy to feed neet wasters!

50 pounds of potatoes - $19
beer - $10

>>9226275

>>9225880
Easily. I only see three things in that picture that I would buy if I were living on an extreme budget (beans, sweet potato, eggs). I'm sick of all these idiot liberals buying premium fresh produce in these stupid welfare grocery experiments. I'm honestly surprised I still haven't seen sushi trays in any of these yet.

>The real difference is not availability of food, but rather the lack of cooking knowledge and wide availability of cheap junk food.
>cheap junk food
Cheap-looking junk good, you mean. It looks cheap initiallu, because the average shopper doesn't understand how to break down costs into a per meal/per day basis.

Produce and fresh protein options can look expensive when set directly next to frozen meals, but too few people have the cooking knowledge to be able to tell themselves "If I spend "more" on the essentials, I can make enough to eat all week, rather than if I spent the same amount on just pre-made meals."

$1.39 for a Mcdouble sounds good if you don't know how to cook, but once you do, and you look at the price per burger at that same size you realize you could make them yourself for pennies to the dollar.

People on food assistance programs would greatly benefit from some basic cooking instruction courses, so that they can learn to see the savings to ve had by cooking their own meals, and how to best stretch their dollar.

>>9226588
>$1.39 for a Mcdouble sounds good if you don't know how to cook, but once you do, and you look at the price per burger at that same size you realize you could make them yourself for pennies to the dollar.

Your analysis is bullshit unless you're willing to eat those burgers for weeks on end and have enough money to truly buy stuff in bulk, don't care about taste/your time is worthless. There are savings to be had for instance on packing a sandwich at home for lunch, but it will be a shitty sandwich that won't compare to even a shitty subway sandwich. Buying in bulk really doesn't start becoming a true deal until you're feeding a family. Even as a couple you're barely doing better.

>>9225880
From Walmart's website, since as far as I know Amazon be raycis n shiet n don' exxxep dem good boy bux KAWMSAYN and it's a pretty good country-wide indicator for US food prices:

>5 lbs. long-grain rice, $2.32, ~8,500 Cal
>4 lbs. pinto beans, $3.69, 6,350 Cal
>10 lbs. all-purpose flour, $2.77, ~16,500 Cal
>1 lb. dry split peas, $2.00, ~1,500 Cal
>40 oz peanut butter, ~2.00, ~6,500 Cal
For fun:
>5 spices (your pick), $5.00
>Lime juice, 15 oz, ~$2.00
>4 cans diced tomatoes, ~$6.00 at ~$0.75 each
>Vegetable oil, 48 oz, ~$2.00, ~12,000 Cal

TOTAL COST: $27.78
TOTAL CALORIES: 51,350

Assuming that this is a standard nuclear household of husband, wife, son and daughter, and that this isn't a single mom and daughter episode or a welfare queen with 7 hungry manchildren, we can say that the man needs 2,000 calories a day, the wife needs 1,700, and the two children 1,500 each.

Assuming this, the amount needed is 46,900, which is met and surpassed by our caloric total, even including a selection of seasonings so our poor family doesn't blow their brains out, and keeping things perfectly vegan, with enough lime juice to keep Paltrow's mouth shut.

HERE'S THE KICKER:
Assuming our family isn't blending the spices with the oil and drinking that instead of the staples, or burying their food in the bog, many of our ingredients will rollover unspoiled onto the next week, meaning our four friends can keep adding food to their pantry and varying their diet as their collection expands. This also allows them to prepare for emergency situations or cook a recipe every once in a while - finally making them plump, round and food-secure.

Also veganism is cheap fuck you, silver-spoon cunts like this give it a bad name.

>>9226460
I can get boneless skinless chicken for $2.00/lb nine out of ten times as long as I buy 3+ lb's at a time - as long as you have a freezer, it's not easy. It varies if I can get breasts v. thighs, but it almost always available. If it's not, then I can get pork butt for around $2.00/lb and stretch that out.
Granted, I live in flyover land, but for introverts like myself, that's fine.

>>9226703
From a pure utilitarian point, you're absolutely right, this works. I agree that $28 is more than enough each week. But to criticize what you suggest...
>40 oz peanut butter
What the fuck are you going to do with this? Mix it into your rice and beans or eat it out of the jar? Cancel some spices or tomatoes and get some god damned bread, as well as some jelly or honey. Generic brand white bread is ~$1.50 for 26 slices at ~70 Calories per slice.
>Vegetable oil, 48 oz
Are we chugging this? I prefer have regular bowel movements instead of shitting myself at work.

>tfw get over $800 a month in SNAP
Feels good

>>9225972
I get SNAP with two people. We only get a bit over 60$

You can get a 20lb bag of Pinto Beans and a 20lb bag of rice DL here for about 35 bucks

Lasts for months.

>>9226460
>where are you getting chicken for under 2 dollars a pound?
I live in Western WA, just a bit south of Tacoma, and I can regularly get chicken from a local butcher for much less than $2 a pound. Roasters with giblets are around $1.60-$1.90 a pound, or less when it's offered as a weekly special, and parts can get as low as $0.49 a pound depending on parts and the season. The only time it's above $2 a pound is if you're getting boneless/skinless, but if you're poor you should be paying less for the bone in cuts so you can use the bones and scraps to make stock.

Seriously, find a local butcher for your meat, or go to ethnic markets. Paying supermarket prices for shitty Foster Farms or Tyson is dumb as fuck even if you aren't living hand to mouth.

>>9225880
That's so inaccurate it hurts, I got 198 a month when i was on SNAP for MYSELF.
Most people make way more than even that and don't buy anything healthy with the shit, it's actually pisses me off, I work in retail and motherfuckers exclusively buy soda chips ice cream and crappy pastries with their SNAP money.
They need to ban shit like that.

Eggs x 4 $4
Butter 1lb $2
Loaf bread x 2 $3
Bannanas-4lbs $2
Spinach - $1.50
Chicken drumstick tray-$2.50
Pasta 2lbs $2
Use the rest for salt and pepper

Prices might be a little off but I think that's about right depending on region. Walmart will beat Aldi prices in some states as well. You could sub in some healthier foods but that's an a assortment most Americans would probably eat, not 7 limes. subbing in rice/beans for pasta works as well.

It is based on income and expenses. Those are the amounts you get with zero income. If you have income, you're not paying for all your groceries with SNAP. Most elderly people with social security income get $25 a month.

ah yes, three paragraphs from a blog called psychology today sure does prove your point

>>9227068
There wasn't are argument to begin with. Just someone posting a link to a blog post where the the content's flaws are pointed out in the comments section

Even in my country, which has one of the most expensive food in Europe, can a smart person eat well with approximately $30/week budget. There is absolutely no reason to spend tremendous amount of money on useless shit like lettuce and avocados.
All you need to do is:
>Learn basic cooking skills
>Buy more, save more

Pizza? $10
Shit, I'll use that $10 on vegetables, meat, potatoes/rice/pasta and bread then I'll eat well for 3-4 days.

In my experience, the only ones who can't eat well with ~$30/week are:
>People with no cooking skill
They lack the skill to turn cheap ingredients into great and large meals
>Fat people (even though I'm one)
They eat too much and spend money on unhealthy sugary shit
>Lazy people
They don't bother to take time to cook great meals with long cooking time which is usually required with cheap and low quality ingredients. Most of them might just buy ready meal or order take-out
>Those who can't plan ahead
They might be great at cooking, but instead of buying more to save money, they might just plan their daily meal which costs more
>Picky eaters
No explanation needed.

It's not unreasonable to have a lemon each day. I have half a yellow lemon each day. I could get my average individual daily expense that low buying for more than a week. I budget for $6/day but often spend less.

I'm going to go try this shit now. Uni work can wait (because priorities).

>>9225880
With $29 I can buy 2 lbs of lentils, 2 lbs of oats, 3 bunches of bananas, and 14 lbs of frozen veg. I eat a lot of veggies but you could easily cut out half of them and have like $10 extra to spend on whatever the fuck you want. A jar of natural peanut butter and a loaf of sandwich bread is like $5.

>>9225880
That bitch doesn't even KNOW.

When we were first married and had our son, we were poor as fuck, because we were both still finishing uni. We lived on about $25 dollars a week, give or take a buck. For groceries, that's not counting diapers and other baby necessities (which is where most of our spending money went, after paying bills, tuition, books, etc). And we never went hungry, we always had decent meals, that were nutritionally balanced. We ate a lot of the same things every week, but they were nice things, like lentil-vegetable soup made with a cheap beef bone or pork hock, cold Asian noodle salad, tuna pasta salad, fried eggs sandwiches with tomato, spaghetti with homemade sauce, bean and rice burritos, and I always made sure we had some kind of fruit, usually apples since they were the cheapest. I also did a lot of foraging, because we lived down the street from a huge park and bird sanctuary, so we'd pick wild greens, watercress, nuts, cattail roots, wild berries, etc.
Luckily we are way better off now, since we both have careers. But that was an excellent learning experience and I don't take things for granted because of it.

Get rid of the lettuce and replace or upgrade to something more substantial.
You don't need a fucking avocado, and it barely lasts over a day once opened.
You already have an onion, why do you need spring onions?
Get rid of the corn, get it canned.
What are you planning to do with a sweet potato? Get a sack of potatoes for a dollar.
Get rid of the jalapeno.
If your budget is that low you don't need a whole garlic, garlic powder will do.
You don't need 6+ lemons either.

Libs and their love for expensive whole foods farmer marker bullshit and aversion to meat won't last a day trying to live like normal people.

Here:
3 pounds of chicken.
4 large cans of stock.
Celery, onion, carrots, corn.
A one time investment in garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, etc or buy one per week and that will last several weeks.
Eggs.
Bread and/or tortillas.
Pasta.
Canned tomatoes.
Bananas or sack of apples.
Sacks of potatoes.
Ham.

Fruit and toast for breakfast.
Chicken dish with rice or soup for lunch three to four days.
Pasta for three days.
Sandwiches for dinner.

It's may not be ideal but it's a lot better than the hipster crap they overpay for and will last a week.

Nigga who the fuck buys 1/4 of a pumpkin?

>>9229014
It also helps if you're not shopping at fucking Whole Foods on SNAP. I can barely get 4 items for less than $15 there when I can get a shit load of veggies at my local shady Mexican grocer for under $10.

>>9229018
big pumpkin. with all this i can make a soup, a stew (will buy meat) an apple pie and maybe some baked potatoes. its not like im doing this out necessity either, its better produce at a cheaper price

>>9229029
exactly this, i was actually out on a trip to buy strawberries (got $20 worth) and noticed a fruit veg shop. they also sold cheap meats too. chinese and other internation food sellers are always better than supermarkets, i never got why people shop at them so frequently when theres so many (at least in my area) independent sellers/growers

He was calling you poor, you idiot.

A lot of hate for limes on here. I get between 6-10 limes for $2 here at shoprite in NJ. Is that too expensive? I basically spend like on $30 groceries per week (not counting the 3-4 times I eat out) not out of compulsion but because that's how much I end up spending being a frugal SOB. I've never thought of limes as an expensive item. The items that fuck me if I buy them are fresh berries and avocados.

aren't foodstamps just a supplement though? its not aupposed to be your entire food budget.

>>9229131
It's been detracted from $170 a month to $20 a month because Obama cut it back. You automatically get minimum regardless of autism, mental disorders or situations, which they don't account for. You automatically get maximum if you're a nigger. White people got shot, I can't even buy water for the month with $20.

It's not a supplement, it's the livelihood of all disabled people because we still have to pay rent and bills. How the fuck do you survive with $700 a month ssi and pay $400 for rent and $200 for bills? It's like everyone thinks being autistic is a fucking vacation. Try living on $120 next month and see how joyous your life is.

>>9229089
Same to you, fuckface.

>>9229156
ah of course, disabilities. i was only thinking of poor people. why was it dropped so low for disabled people? also if youre only autistic surely theres some work you could find right? youre able to have a conversation like this so i dont think youve got low functioning autism

>ITT: Poor people on welfare complain they aren't getting enough neetbux from daddy government

I make curry and I don't really know how much it costs but it's pretty cheap.

Flour, lard, bulk curry powder from WinCo and some garam masala form the curry roux which I make in large batches and freeze.

I buy value boxes of four kinds of meat totalling 10 pounds for $20, just chicken would be cheaper but that's boring. That gets used in 8 pots of curry(so about $10 on meat per month).
The chicken has bones so I only need 6 cans of beef/pork broth per box, has to be cans because that powder shit is disgusting.
Then each pot has two carrots, an onion, three potatoes, two bell peppers , an apple and a small tin of tomato paste.
Serve with hot rice, each pot is about a week of food.

Then the rest of my diet is: milk, cereal (store brand), tea bags, some cheap powdered drinks, an occasional carbonara, and some frozen convenience foods like burritos (nothing over fifty cents per unit). I don't think I spend more than fifty bucks on food and drink per month

>>9229577

You do have a severe mental disorder. The executive branch (Obama) didn't change welfare allocation, that was the whore republican congress. The legislative branch allocates federal dollars. Secondly, there are as many if not more disabled "niggers" as whites. Stop trying to pretend that it's muh blacks who cut your benefits. That's some real Clear Channel bullshit.

>>9229909
sorry, got croppede for some reason

I'd buy onions, carrots, celery, some chicken legs/thighs, canned tomatoes, lentils, pasta, oatmeal, frozen kale/spinach, and maybe a cabbage head.
Alternatively, instead of pasta and oats, I could buy whole wheat flour and some baking yeast to make bread with.
First day, I'd make roasted chicken. I'd keep the bones to make chicken stock.
During the next days, it'd be lentil soup and bread.

Perhaps get your priorities in order and go have a talk with the niggers taking up 95% of the welfare systems while I actually get to spend less than 10% of my benefits on anything that isn't FUCKING RENT and FUCKING BILLS.

This isn't a free ride to alcoholism and drug addiction you massive retard. I fucking get $700 and $400 is for rent and $200 is for bills.

But waaaaah, muh tax dollars. I completely regret having to help an autisitic kid have a home.
Stop being so fucking selfish. One person whining on an aboriginal sandal trading forum isn't going to revoke the social security system you fucking pig. Sorry for taking your $100 a month and buying food. Jesus.

Also this is in NYC where wages are high enough that $30/week for 90% of your food is entirely trivial.

>>9230368
1. OP's pic works out to $116 per month for a family of 3, not $194 for one guy.
2. As a neet, where do you get your money?

Of course. Although I have to say, roommate stories are top tier for me, and you should include Ja/ck/ posting in either low or garbage tier. Also, travel suggestion threads are usually just attempts at trolling flyovers or trying to shit on NY or 'go za.

And to keep it thread related, Gwyn should have bought more onions - they're a great filler, tasty, and have a bunch of micronutrients. She should have bought butter or some kind of oil to cook shit it, and flour or bread crumbs.

You would have to delete like 75% of all posts on 4chan to really enforce that. It's just the catch all rule for when mods want to give you a 24 hour ban for being a shitter or doing something they don't like

eating healthy is cheap. thats not the issue. The issue is time. A lot of poor people don't necessarily have the time to put aside to prepare and cook a meal on top of everything else. That and being broke will make you fucking sad. If your sad and stressed the last thing you want to do it make food. Its a vicious cycle.

There is so many things wrong with this post that I'll skip right to the end and say how does it feel being a stupid, poor, time waster?

if they could commits crimes to get food then they are capable of getting a job..... unless someone is born missing 2 limbs or half a brain they can make a living, just because some people are lazy and end up in a shitty place financially doesnt mean they deserve a single penny from anyone

>an avocado

enough with the memes, it tastes mediocre and getting it to a good ripeness is a crapshoot

also, they're fairly expensive (at least here)

>2 gallons of milk = $5
Try $1.50 for 1/4 a gallon

>Bag of rice = $2
Closer to $6 for 1kg

>Bag of brown sugar = $2
$3

>Cylinder of oatmeal = $2
As opposed to a bag? $4 or so

>2.5lb bag of chicken = $4
Closer to $10-12

>1lb of ground beef = $3
More like $5 or 6

>Jar of sauce = $2
Actually they're about $4-4.50

Americlaps have it so good on food prices and fuck it all up by not teaching people how to cook in school.

I used to know a coworker who used to stand in the sun on breaks to "absorb the energy", and claimed he didn't need to eat food for sustenance. Whenever someone saw him eating or drinking something he'd claim it was just because he liked the taste or "just wanted to try it and see how mortals live".

What the fuck are the limes for?

>>9225880

My god, they might actually have to use some of their own money to buy food?

The horror,
