Cook some rice. Fry it with eggs, tomatoes, onion and chilli. Eat with curd or ketchup. Use balance money for fruit.

Pretty much this.

Throw in some onion or chilies if you have extra room in the budget.

Throw in some potatoes and butter and you're golden.

Eat at the rescue mission. Hit up the food bank.

You can't even live off of ramen and peanut butter for $30/mo. anymore.

Just for fun I went and priced it out based on the local walmart's online prices.

15 lbs potatoes = 5.31
20 lb rice = 8.48
8 lb pinto beans = 5.98
8 lb kidney beans = 5.98
10 lb onions = 9.80
3 lb chilies = 2.94
2 lb butter = 5.96
5 lb pork country ribs = 9.85
72 eggs = 8.24

Total = 62.54

That's a little over 2 dollars a day for enough staples to keep you alive and enough things to flavor them so you don't find a different way to kill yourself. Spend the extra almost dollar a day on some greens, more vegetables, cooking oil, garlic, and tomatoes, and you'll be in good shape. This is assuming you have a pot to boil things in and a stove. It also assumes you have things like salt hanging around. If not, buy some or steal some from work/motel breakfast/coffeeshop.

You can get into a rhythm with this, where you waste almost nothing.

Make beans and rice the night before, have the leftovers with eggs in the morning. Turn last night's baked potato into hash with a little bit of pork fat. It gets monotonous, and you'll still probably be hungry, but you'll be alive. Hell, you might even lose weight.

Doing this also takes some prep on the front end. Those chilies and onions probably won't keep for a whole month, so either space out your purchases, or if you buy in bulk, chop them up into serving sizes and freeze them. Same thing with the pork shoulder, remove bones and save for flavoring a pot of beans, trim off the excess fat and chop it up for seasoning purposes, and then portion the meat into as many servings as you can.

The other anon >>15098426 mentioned the food bank, that's a good idea too if you're really this broke. I would stay away from ramen and other packaged stuff though, just based on a calories to price ratio. If you want pasta, you could always buy some flour and make your own with some of those eggs.
