I really need your help ck, you guys know more about food than anyone else I know.
I'm a broke ass college student with a max of 40 buck to spend on food tomorrow, the food has to last me a while, at least 2 weeks until I get paid, and even then I don't know if I'll have money left over after bills.

tl;dr 40 buck, need help with shopping

Please help me

Rice, beans, potatoes, onions, cheap cuts of meat.
Try to avoid fresh fruits and veg unless they'll hold well or you'll be using them in the next few days.

Look into couponing and grocery deals on google. I've seen alot of soccermom blogs who get bomb deals at kroger and shit with the use of coupons, but i guess printing out coupons also cost money.

Anyway, hope this list helps you. Sorry it's an eye sore (no pics), but if you read it, it should help.

Rice, beans, a few cans of cream of chicken if cheap, ramen,

I make my rice, dump a can of cream of chicken in it and it last me like 2 days with my gf. Cheap and tasty. Also /ck/ will recommend frozen chicken cause it goes well with almost anything

Beans and rice. Pasta and a jar of peanut butter.

Look at /r/frugal on reddit, they have a food section, though a lot of it is about batch cooking.

>> No.4048261

Even just lentils boiled with whatever spices you've got and dumped over rice works. It's not great, but it'll fill you.

Really depends what you're into man. There's a thread here on the first or second page about someone making hobo stew, do that shit up.
I'm actually disappointed in myself for not having thought of it, especially with delicious stew weather coming up.

>>4048265

thats also my thread and would recommend it. grew up on welfare and foodstamps here, also, at my local place, they usually have 10 for 10 dollars turkey franks from jenni o. But I dont shop at walmart so they have cheaper dogs like Bar S. Heres a fuck awesome easy recipe if you like hot dogs.

Bag of dried lentils.
Couple bags of frozen veggies (spinach, broccoli, whatever you like.)
Some olive oil.
Assorted spices. That'll set you back 40 and the spices are a good investment. Easy to make, keeps, and you can spice up the basic ingredients with, er, spices.

Does this method work? I haven't tried vodka+gummi bears, but I've heard they either come out slimey or too strong

>> No.4048321

>>4048317
too strong
there is no such thing as too strong
just drink from the bottle until you learn to like it
