lentils, lots and lots of lentils. I would make lentil, potato and chicken stew and eat it over the week (fridge). I knew lentils were good because they were basically beans.

spam that I would slice and freeze. 1 slice+ 1 egg + rice= 1 meal. Sometimes I made onion omelette. Also with rice.

supplemented with cheap fruit. Gala apples 5 for $1.20. And carrots.

I had less than $500 in the bank. Over.. months.

Chicken for the stew was 1 chicken thigh, diced. Thighs are better because they had more fat. So thats 1 thigh over a few days or so. Its ok because lentils have protein.

I would look for stores with bulk foods sections. Lentils and split peas usually seemed to be among the cheapest ingredients. If you wanted to get fancy, the 13-bean soup mix was somewhat more than double the price of plain dry black beans.

Another tip is to use broccoli stems by peeling off the tougher outer layer and then chopping the tender inner portion for soups or stir-frys.

Learn how versatile rice is. You can buy it by the 25 pound bag at an Asian market, buy a couple condiments/sauces (soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, etc.), and you can now make tons of different dishes by just adding egg, green onion, and either one vegetable or one meat.

As for meat, learn to grocery shop in the mornings. Prices are always lower. Learn which cuts are more expensive, more filling, cheaper, less appetizing, etc., buy some, freeze it, and individually portion it. For example, I have individual chicken thighs in my freezer. They come out to about $1 per thigh at Walmart ($12 or so for a pack of 12), and one per meal is really all you need when you have rice and one other vegetable. You can also get ground beef pretty cheap and then portion it out in whatever amount in baggies to freeze.

I'd also learn how to make a variety of pantry meals by just using things with a long/indefinite shelf life, like flour, sugar, baking soda, noodles, canned this or that, dry this or that, preserved this or that, etc.--learn what you like to make and keep supplies on hand. Just being able to make brownies, for example, when you're hungry late at night, can save you an expensive trip to the grocery store or fast food that you'll regret later.

>>20172377
>Ever since I started working I've never been poor.
This is a common misconception. You are freetime-poor. You might scoff at that statement, but that's only because you have NPC brain. A lot of people, when they have a regular office job, have very little time or energy to reflect on life, consider their future plans, or learn, much less practice, important life skills like cooking for yourself. These people just live in arbitrary timeframes imposed by other people--your paycheck schedule, your team's "project" schedule, or even your daily schedule of just trying to get to work on time and then fit in a grocery store run before you get home.

Every two weeks I’d buy a whole uncooked chicken on sale for $3, a bag of dried pinto beans, and a block of butter. Soak the beans overnight changing the water and cook them the next day while roasting the chicken. When the beans are done dump a bunch of butter in and smash them making refried beans. Eat beans and chicken and rice (rice I’d buy like once a month). If I had the money I’d buy extras like tomato and onion, flour tortilla shells, peppers, etc. maybe $40/month?

Did this in grad school despite having a stipend - rent was expensive but also it was good food.

At my poorest my daily meal was two chicken leg quarters stripped of its meat, mixed into a stick of cream cheese (Great Value brand), and a bag of steamed spinach. Think the total cost came out to less than $3. It covered a good range of micro and macro nutrients but what I didn't know is that spinach is high in oxalate and it's bad for your bones to eat that much every day for a long period of time.

There were times when we had no food in the house except spaghetti noodles. We'd try to take the edge off our hunger by slowly nibbling on noodles one at a time to make them last. Having free breakfast and lunch at school was our real food. On the weekends and holidays, it was nothing but noodle nibbling.
Typically this wouldn't late more than a week or two, then our mother would get a paycheck and buy beans, bread, and sometimes tomato paste so we could make actual spaghetti.

Over the span of time, your feelings return to baseline.
At my darkest, I was buying a six pack and six $1 McBurgers, shoving it all in my face, then driving home and passing out for 4 hours before waking up and reliving my life.
There were days my consumption consisted of a gallon of orange juice or an MRE or nothing due to poverty/necessity. I remember stilling in a car trying to scarf down a disgusting, outdated meal replacement bar as my meal for the day.
Fast forward 20 years and I'm a millionaire. I still feel the same. Same sentiment. Same emptiness. I'd rather be 20 than 40.

It's funny looking at all the posts in this thread and nobody mentions foraging when stuck for food. Now it obviously depends on climate and the amount of public fruit & nut trees in your areas. But many, many places have as much free fruit available for 3-7 months of the year. Because it's so fresh and not sprayed with anything, you can go days living on foraged fruit when funds are tight.

We really are so far removed from our hunter-gatherer past.

Foraging implies that you're aware of a spot that no one else visits, are legally and economically able to travel to (in a city/suburb, often impossible) and actually live in a place where there is edible food to forage for. I fortunately live in a place where walnuts are available to forage maybe once a year and do so, but this statement is disingenuous. Most foraging foods are also better suited as a snack than as a full meal

It's not about "winning an argument," Mr. Projectionist, I just wanted to show that it's not just me saying your definition is overly specific and dictionaries literally exist to document the most common understanding/usage of words. Foraging has nothing to do with whether other people know about it or even whether it's legal. You can trespass on private property to illegally forage and it would still be foraging.

Not really. Foraging implies happening upon a fruit tree at the right place at the right time and eating from it. And don't worry about 'competition', it doesnt enter your average NPC's head that you can get quality fruit outside of supermarkets and actually get it for no work/minimal effort. Others seem to think foraging is dirty so wherever you go, there will be food for the taking. I once had 3 people stop and stare at me for what felt like 30 seconds when I was picking plums from a tree on a walking trail in Sweden last year. That's how alien a behaviour foraging for food has become.

Also you dont need to know secret spots. Private garden trees overhanging pavements, public parks, walking trails, botanical gardens, etc. Food is easy to find when you are tuned in. The only bad places are mega cities/concrete jungles.

And yes you can eat fruit as a meal rather than a snack. Other primates do it all the time. Eating a kilo of plums to get your calories used to be a thing up until the Industrial revolution. It's just people are so used to having a big bowl of pasta or rice mixed with slop, that this is now a foreign concept.

Similarly filling and "have nothing you need to make actual recipes and no money" go to is shit on a shingle, you have to use a fuckton of pepper to make the cream gravy taste right but this is a temporary consequence of poor planning and carelessness not a lifestyle so you should have that, right?

>fifty bucks for a gallon
who ft would pay that when a 1.75L of vodka is $13
and don't give no bullshit about it tasting better if you're talking about that fakeass surgery apple cinnamon BS because that is not moonshine.

at the first of the month the put last months chicken on sale so i'd buy the cheapest cut (boneless skinless chicken breast) a whole months worth and freeze it in daily portions and i'd eat it with white rice, sometimes i had soy sauce which made it a lot better other times i had some margarine and cheap garlic powder and i'd have "butter garlic" chicken

Of course! Frozen garloid isn't terrible, but they're so easy to grow. They get a little smurgy if you give them chlorinated water, but that's what stills and rain water are for.

I used to buy the huge great value bags of frozen premade cheese ravioli. Bag has at least 50+ raviolis in it for no more than 13 dollars. Pair that with a $3 jar of red sauce and you're eating like Julius Caesar for a few weeks.

Maybe in the suburbs or some stretch of road with ornamental fruit trees which are half edible but IME the downtown areas of megacities (I'm talking Manhattan as an example) are not good places for foraging. Fallen fruits create a mess so many 'developed' urban jungles typically remove old fruit trees and dont plant new ones to give themselves a polished look.

Am interested to hear what big cities you've been to where the foraging was good?

Plain rice with some butter.

One time for like 3 days straight in college, I ate the offbrand frosted flakes that came in a bag. I only had a plastic fork for some reason so that's what I ate it with.

Ive also done just rice with a shit ton of seasonings

My first time I lived on my own I was 17, and I had this genius idea that I was going to be really smart with my money, so I bought a giant can of baked beans, and like $30 worth of Jack in the Box tacos, and convinced myself I would be able to survive on just those for like a month. The tacos went bad after a couple days and I couldn't handle any more beans after a few days.

This was a college town and the cops cracked down on that really hard. Regardless, my moonshine was better than a half gallon of Taaka by any measure. You could sip it neat or on the rocks and lord knows what proof it was.

You spend a lot of time there for someone with such disdain for it.
