High-end supermarkets tend to upmark produce, with the only difference I see being size, consistent shape, and few blemishes. Economy supermarkets like ALDI, Chinese/Mexican grocers, etc. are much more reasonable with pricing.

saute bacon in a pot. or you can use salt pork, or diced ham with a little oil.

add finely diced mirepoix . saute for about 7 minutes until the onions are almost translucent. add diced garlic and saute for a few more minutes.

add water or chicken stock. if you're using water, some chicken bouillon or that goya ham extract makes a good stock in a pinch. salt, pepper. maybe a bay leaf. some rosemary, thyme and sage if you like. I just use cheap "poultry seasoning" mix.

add rinsed dried split peas, chopped potato and some chopped carrot. big chunks for a contrast in texture.

bring to a boil. reduce heat to low and cover. let simmer until the peas are mushy.

buying cling wrap and aluminum foil, and ONLY buying meat that's on sale, in large quantities, portioning them out and freezing them will save you a lot of money. but it's sometimes hard for a broke bitch to spend $50 on meat at a time.

building up some savings and creating a buffer for events like this is the only way to eat well cheaply. you need to think in terms in cost per serving, not the initial upfront cost.

for instance I bought 3 smoked hams for $20 bucks a piece the other day, but they'll end up making several dozen pots of beans, lentils, split peas, rice, etc.

if you're really a broke ass nigga you can get the pasta from a food bank, then head to subway and get a handful of olive oil packets, then stop at a pizza place and get some red pepper and parmesan packets. now you're only on the hook for a $1.50 jar of diced garlic.

Bacon is $5/lb. Two strips will flavor a large pot of split peas, beans or lentils. You can do the same with chicken legs by browning them, then simmering them with whatever you're cooking. If you're really broke meat should be used more like a seasoning than an entree,.imo. Legs and thighs are about the same price, but legs leave a lot of leftover skin and bone to make stock with, and all these poorfag meals like soups, stews and beans benefit from stock.

Chicken lentil stew over rice is extremely cheap.

Baked chicken thighs or legs are easy and cheap. Dry the skin with a paper towel, add whatever seasoning. I think I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little cayenne here.

Bean and bacon soup is easy. Fry a couple strips of bacon, saute half an onion and some carrots in the bacon fat. Tomato paste is like .60c a can. Add a tablespoon after the vegetables are sauteed. I freeze the rest in individual 1 tablespoon portions to use later. Add beans, water and a bouillon cube. Cook until done.

Frozen vegetables are typically cheaper than fresh, I find. 12oz of Brussels are 99c at Walmart. I either roast or saute them in oil with some garlic and red pepper flakes.

Cornbread probably costs about .50c to make a large pone if you buy cornmeal and flour, and use lard, leftover bacon fat or vegetable oil instead of butter. You can also make polenta, hush puppies and cornmeal coated fried fish with cornmeal. A big bag is about $2.50.

Flour means you can make sourdough, pancakes, biscuits, crepes, and other baked goods.

Buy ground beef on sale, and some of that cheap ass Gwaltney pork sausage they sell for as cheap as $1/lb on sale, and make some meatballs that are half egg and breadcrumbs and you've got pretty decent spaghetti for under $1 a serving.

Go to the dollar store and buy a bunch of seasoning and herbs. Oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, red pepper flakes, etc. Having a variety of seasoning is the difference between hating life and eating very well, imo.

You said no ramen but some cheap additions help out a lot. I like to add a lot of garlic and green onion and a couple of boiled eggs. Eggs scrambled with rice or eggs scrambled with frozen spinach.

[Anonymous No.18130407]

>>18130392
Yes, you can get away with using one slice to flavor a giant pot of whatever you're cooking, so it's basically a staple for me. Vegetarian beans and lentils just don't taste good, imo.

I don't know why, but fucking ham hocks and smoked pork jowls are now like $6 a lb, so I use bacon or neckbones almost exclusively now. Will occasionally buy hams when on sale. I use pork like a seasoning, basically, and most of my meat consumption is chicken legs and thighs. Picrel is about .60c worth of neckbone. I cut them up into pot sized portions like pic related, fish them out and scrape off all the meat to add back to the pot. I do the same with chicken legs, except I save the skin and bones from those to make stock.

You can use the wendy's app. sign up for wendy's with a fake email (you won't have to verify it), and you get ten free chicken nuggets with any purchase. Get the cheapest thing on the menu + your nuggets. Then you get 150 points and you can get 4 more free nuggets, or a frosty. And quite often they have an additional free item deal, and you can combine that free item with the free chicken nuggets you would spend your 150 points on. So you spend like, about 2 bucks and you get 14 chicken nuggets, a burger, and typically one other free item (frosty, french fry, burger). You can do this forever by continuing to make new accounts that you do not have to verify.

Learn to season rice a bunch of ways. Saffron is too expensive, (unless you're just "forgetting" to ring the shit up with the rest of your groceries at the self-checkout), but a stock cube, some vegetable oil, a teaspoon of tumeric and some dried parsley flakes make a pretty killer yellow rice that goes well with lentils or whatever.

Mirepoix or onions make almost everything better.

Buy it fresh, the cheap dirty shit you have to process yourself. A bag of carrots is about 99c, a bunch of celery is about $1.60.. and onions are kinda expensive, but can't go without them.

As soon as you get home from the grocery store just wash them all, dice them up and freeze them. Now you can just grab a handful and toss into a pot of bacon fat for your stews and shit, without worrying about using it up before it goes bad. Having the texture ruined by freezing doesn't matter when you're making stews and stuff, because they were going to end up soft anyway.

German lentil stew:
>In a dutch oven or pot, crisp up 2-3 slices of chopped bacon and try to render out as much fat as you can by cooking lower
>Once crisped, add a pat of butter and a diced onion and sweat it
>Then add a sliced leek and diced carrot, cook for a few minutes
>Add a pound of lentils, coat in oil then add enough stock to cover lentils
>Bring to a simmer, add 1-2 bay leaves then simmer for about 30-40 minutes
>Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg
>Add a splash of vinegar

Start shopping at Lidl / Aldi. I'm disabled from kidney failure, rely on SNAP and disability until I receive a new kidney and return to work. So I gotta budget heavily.

Eggs are your best friend for protein and are 1.90 a dozen. Whole chickens are 1.99 a lb, and can be split up to 4 meals + stock if only cooking for yourself. Potatoes and yellow onions are 2.99 for a bag. White bread is 50 cents a load. A bag of baby carrots is 1 dollar.
A 1/2 gal of 2% milk is a little more than a dollar. A box of off-brand cheerios is 1.80. You can buy a whole unseasoned pork loin and cut them up into a good amount of pork chops. Freeze whatever you don't use. Bags of frozen veggies run from 80 cents to about 1.50. A lof of items that are about to get thrown away are also reduced by 30-40%.

Vanilla extract and saffron are both about $12 a bottle. I put them in the corner of the cart, scan some items, bag them, then set the bag on top of them. If I were to get caught I'd play dumb and claim it was an accident. Always have money to pay for them.

It's really not worth the risk for anything other than small items you can plausibly deny intent to steal, plus it's a scumbag move, but I'm poor and Walmart sucks, so fuck'em. I've never been caught. Triple bag fruit and expensive produce so you can't identify the contents and ring them up as bananas.

I've gotten real ballsy and just didn't ring up like 6 Dickies work shirts once. Have also put meat in produce bags and rang them up as bananas. Shit like this will get you arrested and/or banned from the store, so it's not worth it unless you're really fucking broke and already have a criminal record.

Another scumbag move is to search Twitter for images of bad food, then email them to the customer service people for local grocery stores and such. Usually they'll give you gift cards or coupons.

i'm not gonna post any recipes but im gonna bestpost this thread real quick

you wanna get good at working with the cheap ingredients

lentils, rice, beans, (dry obviously) pasta, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, eggs (for now, lol, prices are going up in the future goy) and then try to find meat on sale if you can. You can find deals like $3/Lb ground beef or pork for $1-2/Lb if you look around and use sales etc. Also check walmart and other econo grocers like savealot/aldi early in the morning; they mark down the stuff that's about to expire when they open. Got a ten pound bag of potatoes for $1.50 that way; boiled them right away and had potato salad for days

if you love fresh fruits and vegetables over canned/frozen stuff (frozen peas and corn are cheaper than canned for some reason idk), find farmer's market etc that you can go to. the prices there are much much lower and you can also find fresh herbs. additionally you can be an even bigger jew by showing up 10-15 minutes before they close shop. last time i went i left with about 4 pounds of onions and a small plastic bucket full of overripe tomatoes, and it cost me $3 all told

also when you buy zucchini from the self checkout just say its cucumbers, ,those are about 1/3 as expensive

A Victorinox chef's knife is less than $15. You can process the bird on the dining room table or on a TV tray.

If you can't find a way to make it work, try looking for chicken leg quarters at the grocery store and prepare them like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1wrDnLbMHM.. In my experience they are price competitive with whole birds. If you can't find them then you aren't shopping at the right place.

All of our best produce is sold overseas. Domestic producers charge export prices for domestic purchases. Our companies, in our "best interests", undercut foreign markets and run at losses, and we pay extra domestically to subsidize it.
We have most of our food supplies run through a duopoly (countdown group/foodstuffs), and they aggressively shut down any competition (council leases demand that no competitors outside the groups are allowed within 2 blocks, for example) and they price gouge. They (primarily woolworths group) have also been giga-cutting staff, and running at the bare minimum manned capacity. My local countdown has 1 wagie on checkout (there are 12 checkouts), 1 on the help-desk, and 1 manning the self-checkout, plus ~3-4 staff around the store for deli/stocking/etc. This is roughly 1/4 of the staff the used to run.
Fonterra (the distributor for 90% of our dairy) does the same, and they have a bunch of absolutely retarded agreements with china (if they don't supply x amount of milk each cycle, they pay a big punitive fine), which has us paying out a much more absurd amount domestically.
Then you have nigger government interference, the government constantly trying to shut down farmers, trying to ban all gas within 5 years (nobody wants to buy an electric digger or electric farm machinery), and the recent climate fuckery (drought/flood/drought/flood) too.
It's all so tiresome. Fortunately, they are taking billions of our tax money to pay for studies on the intersectionality between indigenous peoples and trannies, and painting sidewalks and crossing gay rainbow colors. An exceptional amount of grafting goes on with this projects too. It doesn't take 80k to paint a park bench, but it does it you hire your whanau to do it.

I always end up making spaghetti sauce simply by buying a sack of cherry tomatoes for cheap on the market (it is summer now so they are dead cheap). I cut up 2/3 of a clove of garlic in fine pieces, bake it in oil and throw in all tomatoes. The twigs, I remove the crowds because they let lose from the stems and I fold the stems and throw that in also. I let the while thing simmer in stages of 3min for I think 4 rounds before the tomato becomes mush, remove the stems and optionally use a blender to make the sauce more fine. Add cheese if you want, maybe a pinch of sugar to enrich the flavor but this way I usually have tomato sauce for 3-4 days and you can store it in the freezer if need be.

When I was broke as fuck, I’d be able to feed myself at home for about $12AUD a week and that was eggs, store brand bread, sausages, a lot of supermarkets are jacking their prices now so it’s hard to cost save while poor.
So, you find your most local Hare Krishna place of worship. I went there three times a week, they would always feed the various attendees with three meals a day for free. Took me in as an athiest in need, gave me some free literature, and didn’t care if I didn’t believe.
In Melbourne at least, there’s a facebook group dedicated to sharing which newly opening stores are running promotions - ‘Bobbys Bullshit Burgers are giving away free burgers to the first hundred customers!’ and the like. Find that and keep an eye on it, would never have been able to afford going out for a burger so it was a happy treat.
Being a poorfag isn’t just about finding the lowest prices.

It all depends on the organization behind the foodbank(s). In my area I can get brussels spouts on the stem. If the individual organization cares, the food can be very nutritional. Try different food banks.

>What does a Flagger do?
>A flagger is someone who directs traffic around obstacles in the road. Flaggers keep drivers and pedestrians safe by alerting them to construction. A flagger keeps construction workers safe by alerting drivers of road work. Flaggers will work primarily in road construction. They may work in other construction positions such as emergency response to traffic incidents. Flaggers work with construction workers but they may also work with emergency response teams.

I get del taco bean and cheese burritos,
>used to be 1/2lb
>used to be as low as 79cent, commonly 99c
and then i add hemp seed, and sometimes diced onion&jalapeno
and you could order two for 1.98+tax and use the $1 off coupon to get them for 99c +tax. and with the hemp seed, some diced onion, maybe open up a can of diced peppers.... pretty filling meal for a dollar.

the coupon says you have to buy $3 worth of stuff but i once saw a tweaker order a taco or something for $1.59 and use the coupon for a dollar off that. lol. raising canes is also free

t. lived in my car and ate raising canes every other day. i also abused rally's free big buford with $1 purchase coupons.

apparently in the early days of yelp check ins and email promos, there were tons of free food scams. ive also met people who do pizza scams.. gutter punks doing pizza scams, lol. little ceasers is free at the end of every night. . there was a really good pizza drop by me and one time someone pulled out a gun when they brought out all the pizza and took it from everyone, lol

winco used to have these awesome santa fe beans and rice mre's for $1.08. i ate them for a few years and then they just stopped stocking them.. i would wake up before sunrise and start driving and hit a mc donalds and get a free 24oz coffe refill (before covid) and put 20oz + mre in my thermos for 30 minutes. and drink the other 4 oz out of my coffee cup where i would drive into the morning. pull over, take a shit and get back on the road and drink my coffee and eat my breakfast while i drove into the sunrise. i would also put hempseed into those mre's

hempseed is expensive but you can ring it up as cheap shit at bulk stores.

the best budget meals are modular ones that can either be upgraded or downgraded as able to and share ingredients in different dishes, my favourites:
>bread pudding
>bologna and egg sandwich
>stew
cant go wrong with cheap bread, can be used in sweet and savoury capacity.
bologna, doctors sausage and offel in general make you protein, just cut down on salt in general though since most processed or off-cuts of meat are already salty.
look for clearance shit as well, I got a big ass bag of corn for $0.50 since it was expiring, I just cooked it that night and threw the rest in the freezer.
just cut down on your branded shit in general, there's plenty of cheap food, you just won't be able to have sweets or desserts is all.

SPAM is a luxury item anon.
It's not cheap anywhere, you'll always be paying $3 - 5 for a can minimum.

I used to work as an intern in billing for time & equipment used on construction sites and could see how much each tradie was making
flaggers were barely getting more than minimum wage
union workers were getting absolutely insane salaries, like the electricians who work in manholes/electrical conduits in new york get like 80/hr

as someone who currently eats like a poorfag, I make pancakes/crepes like every other day from scratch. Other than that, it's mostly rice and beans and then soups/chilis/pasta dishes that will last a few days. I'm honestly more fit now eating like a poorfag than I ever was before just because I eat way less sugary junk food.

I used to make banana patties with oats, a banana and some cinnamon / little sugar when I had it.
use water to make the oat dough, mash up the banana an mix it all together, just don't overwater them since you're relying on the oats being your actual dough.
of course use milk when you can.
they aren't delicious but they are economical and shake up breakfast every now and again.

there used to be a store near me that legitimately was to stupid to put up cameras anywhere.
of course me and my friend lifted shit a lot of the time, usually candy bars because we were to broke to afford them.
looking back I'm pretty embarrassed about it, i think there's a big difference between stealing some basic food because you won't be eating otherwise and some non-essential shit like spices or luxury foods.
good luck trying to take something that will actually keep you full for a while.

>Theft. It's more common than you think
In my country they changed the law permanently a few years ago so that any theft below $100 will legit just be ignored and non-prosecutable by police.
since that happened literally every major store in the cities has just started letting people go even when they get caught because they don't meet the minimum to get a legal response and they'd have to pay tonnes of money to prosecute some small-time shop-lifter in court privately (of which there are hundreds every week).
food has basically become free to anyone who doesn't care about potentially having a criminal record.
