Add chicken, taco seasoning and chicken broth to a 6-qt Instant Pot® and gently toss to combine.
Stir in corn, black beans, salsa and green chiles. Without stirring, add rice.
Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 10 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions. Stir in cheese until melted, about 1 minute.
Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro, if desired.

Tacos are pretty cheap to make, soft or hard, burritos too. I've never tried Uncle Ben's but I have tried those Knor rice packets, spanish rice, Mexican rice, chicken rice, etc. When people saying they are starving, it's always confusing to me. Eggs are less than a dollar for 12, maybe 1.50 for jumbos. Spaghetti is pretty cheap as well, one of my favorite foods. I am going to get groceries today, any suggestions?

How have you been surviving since September without an income? If you haven't worked in a year or more, you will qualify for EBT. I get it's a meme that it's somehow shameful but if you need it, you need it. I'd call human resources in your area and see what info you need and apply. If you go without employment for a year, generally you get about $200 a month. It can go through in less than a week if you do it in person. Even with corona, churches have food banks. I would start calling, just be honest with them. They never ask for proof, people abuse it all the time. It sucks to have to do foot work, anon, but it's just some phone calls.

Fried chicken is also very cheap. You can buy huge piles of frozen chicken for very cheap. The brining, breading etc is very close to free.
After you are done frying your chicken, scrape up the brown scraggle at the bottom of the pan and separate from rest of oil, it's essentially brown roux which makes any sauce, stew or soup taste like fried chicken and thicken.
There is a reason literal slaves used to sell fried chicken to make money, it's cheap and easy to make.

[Anonymous No.15094220]

Everything I cook is poverty tier. My partner is pescatarian so there are only small amounts of fish on the menu and I very rarely eat small amounts of meat. Get yourself a sack of rice, bulk pasta and beans. Buy a bag of cheap vegetables every 10-12 days. Some eggs, milk and cheese each week. Replenish the condiments, herbs and spices as needed. Have a small vegetable garden. Excluding alcohol, washing powder, toilet roll etc the weekly grocery bill is almost nothing.

Tonight was warmed tortillas, kidney beans cooked in coconut oil, cumin seed, bay leaf, cocoa & cinnamon mole. Oven roasted cauliflower tossed in cumin, chilli, garlic, salt and olive oil, some home pickled red onion., grated chedder and a home made yoghurt dressing.

Yesterday was butternut squash & mushroom risotto and a onion and olive sour dough flat bread with sun dried tomatoes from the garden.

Day before was puff pastry tarts with leftover salmon trimmings, mushroom, onion and hard cheese and most of a bottle of wine, the rest of which went into the risotto.

Day before that was baked pasta, white sauce, cheese, mushrooms, steamed broccoli.

We tend to eat a late breakfast or cooked lunch. Sardines on toast. Soup. Omelettes. Boiled eggs with salad. Cheese, pickles and bread.

White Rice, beans, eggs, ground turkey in a roll, tuna, canned chicken, frozen veggies, bologna, bread (homemade or otherwise), dried fruit, greek yogurt, rolled oats, hot dogs, salsa, salads, frozen veggies, the occasional fruit, pasta and sauce.

Turkey chili (ground turkey, canned beans and salsa) w/ rice can made in bulk and frozen for meals. Eggs and rice or rice and beans is a quick nutritious filling meal. Rolled oats with dried fruit. All of that can be bought cheap (and in bulk) and stretched. If you can get some yeast, salt and flour you can make bread (you don't need a lot of any of that, either). You can make your own soup and freeze it for cheap as well.

You can get salt, pepper and sugar from restaurants or delis and that's good enough for survival cooking.

The key is how much time you can spend on meal prep. A few hours for one day and you can be set for the entire week. Also shopping at an off brand grocery like aldi's or Lidl's can stretch you dollar even more.

My friend, a tub of rolled oats, milk, little bit of brown sugar and some fruit from time to time you can eat for breakfast every day, and it has saved me so much money and honestly been a positive health change. If you go dried fruit it's like 500-600 calories for like 40 cents (if even that) or something. Oats are also great for you and they are good for the morning as they keep you full. I think milk is better so hope you aren't lactose intolerant.....

I make a big ass pot of vaguely asian soup with Saifun (Bean Threads), random veggies, and chicken hearts. It's pretty cheap.
>Better than Bouillon chicken or Vegetable, about 3 bucks and will make tons of soup
>A few bell peppers, one buck
>Bottle of lime juice, 1 buck
>One bunch of Cilantro, 50 cents
>Fish Sauce, 5 bucks will buy a big enough bottle of Red Boat to last years
>Chicken hearts, 1 buck a pound

>Mushrooms, I can get like 2 pounds for 2 bucks at a local place
>Carrots already shredded, one pound for 1 buck
>Soi sauce, you already fucking have soi sauce c'mon
Soak the dry Saifun in cold water until pliable. Sear the hearts until brown on all sides, slice the veggies while doing this. Sautee your garlic, Pour in water once the hearts are done browning and the garlic is done, add in Bouillion and mushrooms, add in whatever veggies you want according to the texture you want for them, add Fish Sauce to taste, add in Soi Sauce. Put it Saifun at the last minute or two, trust me you don't want to overcook the saifun. Garnish with Cilantro and some lime juice.

You can easily get 5 meals out of that for less than a dollar each. It's a tasty, filling and nutritious turkey chili that comes out to a $1.00 or less each meal. Theoretically less because you won't be using anywhere close to a three pound bag or rice or 24oz jar of salsa up with one go so you have it left over for next time.

Canned tuna is also a cheap, lean protein which can be combined with other cheap food for flavor and nutrition.

You can make tuna burgers if you combine it with egg, onions, breadcrumbs or quinoa. Salt, pepper, garlic (or powder) to taste.

Use chunk light.

Also what is a pay stub? All my financial shizzle has been electronic for about 10 years now, I don't have paper anything. Also define poor? You might earn a fair salary, but have 6 children to feed and be servicing a substantial personal debt. Also data protection, like a food bank has the right to process and hold any personally identifiable information about me.

If you have an Asian grocer of a kind that stocks on Japanese food items, look out for fermented soy beans/Natto in the frozen section.
Depending they can be kind of pricey, but there's a Japanese convenience store here that is selling three in a Styrofoam pack for under $2.00. Generally you can expect to pay between 1-4 dollars for three pack.
It's good for you and keeps you full for a long time. All you do is open the pack and stir it up with chopsticks and put it on rice.
Can put tuna or green onion or egg on top of it as well if you have that.
It's an easy thing to make in the morning.

Chickpeas. They fill you up for a really long time. You'll probably need some spices to make them less bland though. Look up Chana Masala.

Potatoes are stupid cheap. A simple baked potato with some salt and butter is nice, sour cream is nicer if you can get it. Make some oven fries (pro tip: boil them first for more crunchiness) and dipping sauce or gravy. Or you can just make small slices and pan fry them with some onions and garlic. Maybe a little meat if you've got some

Summer sausage is very cheap, very tasty, can be eaten hot or cold, and goes with a lot of things.

Pasta and tomato sauce is cheap as hell, like almost as cheap as ramen.

The good old peanut butter sandwich can save you when you're just feeling lazy. Add your choice or any combination of jelly, honey, fruit, and A-1 steak sauce (hey, don't knock it until you try it. I think it tastes great). Peanut butter is also great for making shakes and smoothies if you have a blender.

Look up how to make a German Pancake. It's shockingly simple, cheap, and delicious.

Oatmeal is extremely cheap and filling. Put whatever you want in it, it's bland by itself so whatever you put in will improve it.

Next spring, I highly suggest foraging nettles. Look up a nettle soup recipe, they taste like spinach but with this delicious nutty, herby flavor as if you used a fancy spice blend. It's really delicious.

When times are really tough, a simple pan fried flour slurry with some small amounts of other savory things in it can fill you up.

mac and cheese is pretty good, you can get a box for around 70 cents where I live, which is more than half a day's meal
easy to add stuff inside, like meat or vegetables

the trick to making it taste amazing is to create the cheese sauce separately like you would a béchamel before tossing in the al dente boiled macaroni, maybe add a kick of chili powder as well

yeah just check google maps and you will probably find something near you. Maybe even freshwater clams. When I lived in Delaware the creek near me had clams the size of nickles. It took a lot of collecting but they were plentiful and tasty enough. You could also hunt but that might just be a big time waster depending on where you are at (and whether you already have guns and ammo)

There are a lot of plants that are good eating, like dandelion or common yellow woodsorrel. Chicory makes a good coffee substitute
