Canned/Frozen Vegetables
Evaporated/Powdered Milk
Cheap Cuts of meat
Grains/Filler (Oats, Rice of your choice, Lentils/Legumes)

I survived on ~$10/day food budget for a year. This was about a decade ago though. Food was cheaper and the dollar was stronger.

Your friend is a lazy fucking idiot who prolly can't even make a loaf of bread from scratch. Buy bulk packs of chicken, beef, ham, etc when they're on sale at Wally World. Buy dry beans and rice to go with it. Fix big one-pot dishes like chili, jambalaya, etc. Store ingredients and leftovers in a small chest freezer.

Also, hit up farmers markets for fruits and veggies. Get into hot water canning. A couple day's effort will keep you in good food for weeks.

I survived off £10-£15 a week for a very long time.
I felt completely healthy the whole time, could afford a variety of foods, and would buy things that lasted.

I ate the typical things, pasta, rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, i avoided buying most meats but if i really felt like some i would go for the cheapest brand of chicken or something like that.

Food is actually really cheap when you try, it's just people are completely stupid and when i said noodles most people would go and buy a fucking pack of microwave noodles then eat 2 packs in a sitting then post on /ck/ crying that life is so expensive and fuck the gov. No when i say noodles i mean a £1 pack of dry noodles, if you are not a greedy fuck that £1 pack will last you 4 meals, cut up and throw some vegetables in with it and you've got something better than that microwave shit.

I forget about the factory farm-eating twats on here with low food standards and how they skew wage expectations with their shit-tier food choices, but an American who wants to eat a well-rounded, balanced diet with a variety of nuts, variety of fruits and vegetables (not frozen), good grains, good cereals, minimal canned food, CANNOT scrape by with your jew-like $200 a month. Okay, so you can eat decent ingredients for really cheap , but you're eating them at EVERY MEAL?! You know prisons don't even do that to their inmates, right? That's not how adults are supposed to live, and it's nothing to be proud of. Jesus... I'm just sick of seeing my friends either starve and fiend over their tiny container of strawberries, or hate themselves for spending the egregious amount of money it costs to live like a human being.

My best advice is to find the Mexican food stores. I bought about two pounds of persimmons at 99 cents per pound. Throw half of one in with half a peach from the can into my oatmeal in the morning the past week and it's delicious. One Mexican store usually has organic Dole bananas for 49 cents a pound. Their other produce kinda blows, but they've got it with certain things.

For my family of 4 we do like $150 a week on actual groceries.
We buy a lot of eggs, rice, vegetables and cold cuts/cheese for stuff like quesadillas and stuff. Milk and Juices too, at Costco.
One of my favorite things to make is green squash with corn and tomatoes. Just cook it all together till soft. Dont even season it, the corn sweetness is all you need. Maybe salt if you want and some crumbly cheese on top.
Meats we do sparingly, we'll get fish maybe 2x a month and fry it on the pan and put it on steamed rice.
Carne asada once or twice a month to change it up a little.
I myself eat a lot of eggs and rice, and i'll eat out myself maybe once a week.
Eating out is what will fuck you. Sometimes on weekends or when we dont cook anything we'll spend $300 eating out at sit down places. If we eat out it's almost never fast food, which would be cheaper.
This is living in CA. Pretty sure it's cheaper everywhere else. Especially if it's just for you.

tap water. Fortunatly, I live in a health resort town right now and the tap water is actually sold as spa-water as well. Perfectly fine. It even tastes good.

I buy juices from time to time, though.

I replace the meat with saitan which I make once per month, then freeze.

>Even starting to think $400 isn't enough for a month of food for one person

How much does this person weigh?...

I was living on $50-$100 a month for food for 1.5 people (Feeding my ex at the time when she would visit) + whatever my room mates stole and doing just fine.

$400 is more than the current budget my family spends for 3 people each month and we have tons of food.

Are you shitting me? 1 person can eat like a fucking king on just 50$ a week. 100 a week should be a no brainer, especially if you can manage to do bulk grocery runs instead of 4x $50 runs.

I'm feeding 2 people with a budget of 1500 dkk or 249.80 US freedombucks a month, be creative and we eat very well. Mind you this is in a scandic country, everything is fucking expensive here.

so you basically got bottled water coming out of your tap?

why cant this work for soda and juice?

>> No.5998736

>>5998697
actually, every tap water (at least in germany) is as good as bottled water. It just tastes horrible bc of the metal ions and other shit. I'm kinda lucky to live here.

Maybe you can try to get a filter-gadget or sth for better taste

As for juice, it should be clear why this doesn't work. It would spoil.


I bet, soda that is self-made tastes better and is cheaper as well.

I'm there now. This is true, but there will not be protein every day. Lot of potatoes.

However, I have been getting by on about $500 a month here for food. Most nights I eat at a place that has a high-quality Argentine steak, a salad bar, a hot bar of starches, bread and sauced etc. for $15. It's a good deal. Plus lunch and other snacks, etc. it adds up.

However, they have a bazaar-like cafeteria here for locals and you an get a pretty decent plate for $2-3 of pork or chicken and some nice sides.

I just dont understand this problem whatsoever.
I live in fucking Norway (the food prices are insane) and I have to cover ALL my expenses save for rent with less than 400 dollars per month. I have celiac disease (aka no cheap pasta or home made bread - "allergy friendly"/gluten free foods are expensive as heck) and eat mainly proteins and fresh veggies and Im still able to live off 200-250 dollars of food. Unless you live some sort of filet mignon only-lifestyle, I dont even know how its possible to spend that much money on food outside of money sucking holes like scandinavia. Literally every country Ive been to have had cheap as fuck food compared to cost of living, especially continental Europe and the US.

Buy 3 of each of these. If you can stomach eating the same food every single day, you can live on less than $400 a year.

And remember, the cheapest food per calorie is lard.
