>Rice and beans, probably 1lb of each for total of $4 if your grocers are extremely jewish. This will last you a week at the very least. If you have basic condiments already you can turn that into bbq baked beans and mexican rice or some shit.
>find a bag or two of frozen veggies for 99 cents. If you get peas you can put them in the rice but the more economical choice would be a mirepoix or seasoning blend with onion, bell pepper, celery. You can add that to your baked beans too. This will bring your grand total up to like $5 or $6

>>19887178
there are apps where you can get free food from like bakeries and stuff at the end of the day like stuff they would have to throw away anyways. They give you locations on map of your city. You could get some really nice free food. I knew some junkie chick she would get all her food for the day this way. Helps if you live close to a lot of like food places I guess. Think about all this dumb (sand)niggers and junkies stealing and making crime to "put food on the table" with these apps you don't need any of that.

making fried rice is pretty cheap. bread is cheap, pasta have a lot of carbs I guess.
I made this recently but with just linguine butter sauce and some pepper was actually pretty pretty good: https://littlesunnykitchen.com/garlic-butter-pasta/

Spinach is cheap as fuck and provides you with all the nutrients you need. Then you need some cheap source of animal protein. look for cheap pork cuts, maybe buy a huge bag of frozen tilapia this is a well known staple in the bodybuilding community, because of it's low price and high protein content with low mercury. Then you can look at stuff like organ meats I once bought a packet of like 30 chicken hearts or so for a euro or less.

Remember anon cheap healthy and delicious does not have to be expensive you will just have to spend a bit more brainpower than the average retard picking your produce and spend a bit more time cooking.

Rice and beans. Get a big bag of frozen veggies too if you can find it on sale; veggies help you feel full for longer. Spruce up with whatever spices you can find on sale, plus salt. Which spice doesn't really matter, but for rice and beans you're probably better off with a cajun or chili blend.

>Maruchan is 30 cents a pack at Walmart and comes in different flavors. Buy 14 and that comes out to $4.20.
At 370 calories per pack, that's 12.3 calories per cent, less than the 14 calories per cent OP needs to average to make his budget stretch to 2000 calories per day. At 3000 calories per day, the required average is 21 calories per cent. Ramen could be a part of the diet solution, but it would be a flavorful luxury afforded by getting cheaper calories elsewhere.

>18 eggs at the same Walmart costs 1.94.
6.5 calories per cent.

>Great Value peanut butter is $1.84
13.7 calories per cent for the 16oz container. 20 calories per cent for the 64oz container.

>A pack of Great Value white bread is $1.32.
10.9 calories per cent.

>That's $9.30 before state tax
For only 10,400 calories, or 1486 per day.

To compare:
20lb Great Value white rice is 29 calories per cent.
20lb Great Value pinto beans is 17.3 calories per cent.
1gal Great Value vegetable oil is 34.2 calories per cent.
10lb Great Value all-purpose flour is 38.3 calories per cent.

A starving person doesn't generally remain healthy or active for long. That factors into the survival time.

>>19890353
>7 minutes without O2, 7 days without water, 7 weeks without food
You're using a variation of the Rule of Threes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_threes_(survival)
Which is a rule of thumb that prioritizes activities in a survival situation. It takes longer to actually die, but a typical person may have about 3 minutes of useful consciousness without fresh air, 3 hours of useful function in a harsh environment without shelter, 3 days of useful function without water, and three weeks of useful function without food. Actually dying of starvation is usually in the 2-3 month range, as the actual times of death from those other causes are usually longer too.

>I did 7 weeks without food and nearly died
But you didn't. Hence it can be inferred that people can go without eating for longer than that. How much longer depends on the person, but it's usually a few weeks longer.

It's rare nowadays for big chain grocery stores in the states to throw out food that isn't contaminated. Stuff that's too old to sell but still technically safe is donated for the tax write off, and rotten stuff can still be sold as feed or biomass for pennies on the dollar.

in response to a post listing a variety of foods and explicitly mentioning that cheaper foods allow more expensive foods to fit in a tight budget, with flour notably being the cheapest per calorie.

>Why the fuck do you think he was talking about fried goddamn flour?
Because flour is further removed than most other things mentioned there from a prepared meal, and rather than thinking that flour would be made into dough and then a cooked food, he thought that the flour would be cooked and eaten directly. You know, like he said. His stated criticism was directed at the notion that one would eat plain flour rather than that one would exclusively eat flour-based foods.

You may, of course, hold that what he said was not what he meant, but that's another issue.

If? How about if you shut the fuck up. Finding a bulk supplier of rice is the easiest part of this situation. Finding a bulk supplier of beans is slightly harder and depending where you reside usually very easy. Rice and beans are used to stretch out other ingredients and supply needed calories. Finding bulk deals on nutrient dense calories is the most difficult. Your advice to take the lowest cost calorie up in price is literally retarded.

When subsistence shopping you get the most and cheapest form of calories that you can sustain on by themselves first. Then you work out other sources of nutrition to supplement your diet.

One of the problems Americans have when doing this exercise is seeing protein as the staple calorie instead of as a flavoring item that adds complete protein.

Here's the weekly ads for one of my local immigrant markets. $0.49 drumsticks, $.49 cabbage, even the shrimp is a good deal and once you've hit your calorie targets a lb of shrimp goes a long way as you only need to eat a few.

But they don't contain very many calories for that cost, making them too expensive for OP to use as a dietary staple. They'd need to be offset by a much cheaper calorie source.

>Finding a bulk supplier of rice is the easiest part of this situation.
Walmart has been mentioned a lot in this thread, and Walmart does indeed have rice cheap enough for OP to use in this situation. But that's white rice in 20lb bags. Walmart's brown rice comes in smaller bags and is expensive enough to cause trouble for OP's budget. The anon I was replying to specifically mentioned brown rice, and for a lot of people, getting white rice will be cheaper.

Flour and cooking oil are cheap and available most everywhere. They're cheap enough that there's a lot less pressure to get "bulk" sizes than with things like rice or beans.

Maintaining a conspicuously muscular physique as anon implied he had requires regular exercise and a lot of food to just maintain. Cut either, and muscle mass goes down. Cut both, and it goes down fast.

>$0.49 drumsticks
~16 calories per cent if you eat the skin and fat. About half that if you don't.

>$.49 cabbage
2.4 calories per cent.

>even the shrimp is a good deal
0.8 calories per cent. The chicken drumsticks are 20x as economical.

>Pinto beans here are $1 a pound
Assuming dry beans, that's 13 calories per cent.

>>19901963
>Potatoes 2lb for $1
7.2 calories per cent.

>cucumbers 2lb for $1
1.2 calories per cent.

The only things you mentioned that are cheap enough for OP to afford a 2000 calorie/day diet are flour and the drumsticks, and that's if OP makes efficient use of the drippings.

I feel like I would spend $20 on a giant sack of rice and tub of salt, and start setting traps and snares for small game in my urban region. Nobody would notice all the missing doves and squirrels.

Otherwise, I would spend the next 2 months eating rice and beans and looking for a way to make some money...

I originally felt bad for op but now I wish for his death via slow and agonizing starvation after reading the way he responds to well intentioned anons.

Take geese from the park, particularly where people feed them as they are easier to catch. Or if you're near the sea or something dig for clams, take crabs, fish, etc.

1lb ground beef $3.28, 1360 calories (Ground turkey is cheaper by weight but more expensive per calorie than bulk 73% beef. If ground breakfast sausage counts as "ground meat" for this recipe, it's $2.88 and 1500 calories.

Not bad for a tasty meal, but OP would only be able to afford a thousand calories per day (using sausage). Using chicken instead of ground meat could drop the price significantly, since the ground meat is the major cost here.

>Enjoy hell.

It's not that bad. I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here. I cope by mixing it up with lentils, split peas, chick peas, quinoa, onions, eggs, grated cheese, cheap meats, and homemade sauces. One big upside is that my physique and energy levels are better on these poverty rations than they were when I was eating lots of restaurant meals.
