Frugal buying

What is the threshold for a single meal for you?
To the point where you buy ingredients that go a long way.
Cereal
Rice
Potatoes
Pasta
Eggs
Some tinned goods

Items like this are more important than ever now, not just for the quarentine, for the tightness of money afterwards too.

What meals do you prepare for less than your quota?
Do you bulk batch? How do you store it?

>what is the threshhold for a single meal
I have no idea what the fuck this means
>Do you "bulk batch"
Not beyond regular leftovers. Why would I? The food supply chain isn't going anywhere.

A threshold for a single meal is i.e a single meal shouldn't be over £2

Cornflakes 1kg box for £3
>45g per serving
>22 servings
>14p per serving

Milk £1.35 for 2ltr
>125ml per serving
>16 servings
>8p per serving

So a bowl of cornflakes costs 22p each
Cheaper than toast which is £1 a loaf and typically 16 slices including crusts which is 4 x 4 servings. 25p each.
Oats are even cheaper.

You could go full on hotdog conspiracy but that's retarded, the lowest common multiple between both is 176 servings until you've used up both at the same time.

Hotdogs for instance
You can only buy jars/tins of 8 or 10 at £1 for 8
Buns are 6 or 12 at 80p for 6
So a hotdog meal would be 12.5p per hotdog 13p per bun.
So typically 51p for 2 hotdogs.
To not waste anything though you'd need to buy either 3 x 10 hotdogs and 5 packs of 6 buns or 3 x 8 hotdogs and 4 x 12 buns.

Since I'm not a FAT FUCK like you people I don't eat 3 times a day, so I don't have to worry about splitting meal costs 3 ways

I eat a protein shake in the morning and make myself a home made pizza in the afternoon.

And no you fat FUCK my pizza isn't unhealthy because it's not some grease fucking SLOP from papa johns like you get.

That's some hardcore virtue signalling friend.

The whole point of this thread is not splitting costs throughout the day, it's reducing the price of meals in general.
A Mcdonalds meal costs what? £5 ish
A real burger made fresh and some fries can come to £2 easy

Nobody except americans eats fastfood more than once a week and americans will never cook at home so your thread is pointless anyway.

You're assuming this thread is only directed towards Americans.

Read the first part of my sentence again.
The 5% of americans that regularly cook know how to do it and have the money to not care about the price.

Lard or tallow/suet. Shelf stable, can be used to add significant calories to all your listed ingredients and then some, and is dirt cheap. I have 14,000 calories of pure (no added preservatives), high quality lard or tallow for 25 bucks, Compromise quality and you can get the same calories and utility for significantly less

>and americans will never cook at home so your thread is pointless
You made your entire post about Americans when the thread is talking about home cooking.
