Help /b/! How does /b/ eat on a tight budget? I have only 1 can of spaghetti sauce, 1/4 lb of frozen ground beef , and only $40 to spend on groceries that needs to last me a month. I have no clue what to buy, any suggestions on how I make it through the month? Also my town doesn't have a good bank so that's not an option
Op here, I meant to say food bank not good bank.
>>702541968
Damn until next month? White bread, spaghetti and ice cubes. Or do a "The Martian"
soylent. Its unhealthy as fuck but healthy as fuck in its own way. And each meal is super cheap.

Rice is cheap, pasta, ramen
>>702541968
Lentils. In bulk. From a bulk shop. In new Zealand we have a place called " bin inn" where you there is a bunch of plastic containers with spouts at the bottom for filling bags with, and plastic drums filled with stuff. They sell things like bulk flour, detergent powder, grain, and you guessed it, lentils. Lentils are high in protein, And can be a good source of vitamins. They also contain plenty carbohydrates. Lentils are the closest you'll get to a full meal in a staple food on a budget. Boil them, then fry them in a pan, and add like a spoon of pasta sauce. Get some tins of pasta sauce too, if you want more flavour. 30 bucks on lentils, 5 bucks on tins of stuff that will make lentils taste better, 5 bucks on whatever.
ramen is like 25 cents a packet, 3 packets a day is 75 cents, 90 packets a month would be 22 dollars leaving you with 18 on other shit
>>702543123
Oh a month? Yeah no spend all forty bucks on lentils and only half 1/2 of a cup a day, I reckon. It won't keep you from the feeling of hunger, but it will keep you from starving
>>702541968
canned food
cheap hotdogs
beans,chili etc
ramen
dumplings with meat filling(Russian Pelmeni), can be found in Euro type stores sold loose is usually cheaper and good
buy discount vegetables, breads and etc from the bargain area at food store.
I got you bro I got a few
>>702541968
Go to sleep for dinner.
Buy fkn much pizza the cheapest
Ramen is pretty cheap
You can also add all kinds of flavours so you wouldn't get tired of it
With what you havecurrently I'd say you have spaghetti for two days and ground beef for three daysif you invest some money to white bread
Op, do you have paypal?

Eggs
Bread
Simple meat
For me in £'s
6 eggs 99p - that's 3 meals
Baked beans - 4 tins for £1.15 that's 4 meals or 8 portions to go with something else
Tins of ravioli - £1 for 3 on offer: 3 meals
Loaf of bread £1.20 and Ham 2x£1 - that's 8 meals for £2.20
Spaghetti - 1 pack £1 enough for like 5/6 meals
Mincemeat - 250g for £2 enough for 3 meals
Burger buns - 6 for 50p make burgers from mince, can add onions they cost like 15p each
Tomato sauce - 40p for puree, garlic is pennies, onions 15p, spring onions about the same. Add mince and spaghetti.
Just be smart with how you spend.
Cereal is a good option aswell, a box of cornflakes costs me £2 and gives me like 10 bowls, milk is £3 for 2x2ltr. 10 breakfasts for £4 or 40p each.
Look up recipes by "A girl called Jack"
He cooks to a minimal budget (£1/day, which is basically what you'e got) and makes it both nutritious and interesting.

Do a calories per cent analysis on your food.
For example, a dozen eggs has about 960 calories. Divide the calories by the cost in cents, in this case 200 cents for a dozen eggs, to get the calories per cents. You end up with calories per cent with eggs.
A 12 pack of ramen noodles contains 4560 calories at a cost of 239 cents. This gives you ~ 19 calories per cent.
>>702541968
buy eggs, they have mostly everything your body needs, buy potatoes and butter aswell
>>702541968
Rolled oats and water can get you through some dark times
Learn to cook. It's tough, but doable. The month of carbohydrates this will be. Cooked Potatoes with Salt and (some) Butter. Rice with Lentils, fried with one egg. Pasta with Tomatosauce. Learn to make soups, semolina doumplings, Tomatosoup with rice, Stew. Do it.

Dude, get a bag of rice, a 5kg pack is enough to feed a single person for a month.
It fills you up and works great with any (side) dishes, it's pretty much a better sub to bread or potatoes.
Rice should make up 60-70% of your meal, and the rest are your meat, veggies and stuff.
>>702544292
>>702544468
>>702544874
I forgott also potatoes
0.4€ per kg if bought in bulk
You also need one important mindset:
Eat to live and not live so you can eat.
Eating is just an annoying task you have to do in order to live.
Get the stuff above and you won't starve and get everything you need to rock the day!

>>702541968

It's cheap, delicious, not really nutritional, and will fill you up only using 2 packets. Buy 2 cases, "48 pack". It'll last you a month and 2 days, and you'll only be spending about $10
Two cigarettes in an ashtray
My love and I, in a small cafe
Then a stranger came along
And everything went wrong
Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray
I watched her take him from me
And his love is no longer my own
Now they are gone
And I sit alone
And watch one cigarette burn away
I watched her take him from me

$40 for a month, this gonna be tough.
Prices are in Canadian/Maple Syrup/Leaves, so just reduce them accordingly I'm not doing that for you.
1 can of sauce + beef, I'll assume you need pasta.
Bread x3 @ $2 ea
Lunch meat packs, just buy as much as you can. Around 12 good sammiches should run you $10 (+/- $2)
Pasta x900g (2lbs) @ $2.50
Pasta sauce x 3 @ $1 ea
Eggs (dozen) x 3 @ $2.50 ea
Dried black beans x1 (bag) $2.25
Dried Split red lentils x1 (bag) $2.25
Spend the rest on rice. You should be able to get a MASSIVE fucking bag.
This should all cost around $40.
Beans - soak overnight, rinse, boil for a few hours until soft. Smash them up and add to pasta.
[1 x sauce + 1/4 bag of pasta + smashed beans (and the meat you have)] x 4 = 8 meals
bread + deli meats = 12 meals
2 x Eggs + bread = 18 meals
Lentils + rice = basically a shit load of meals to make up the rest
This will probably not actually get you through the month tbh fam senpai desu, but it's more of a guideline

>>702541968
Cheap, cheap rice, fry in lard before boiling. Save some money for next month so you can buy a cheap, generic multivitamin. Cheap pasta also works.
This is from the UK's ASDA (which is walmart), so the numbers aren't going to be exactly applicable, but you can get 1kg of spaghetti for £0.40 ($0.60), which has 3500 calories in it. For the same price, you can get 0.25kg of lard, which contains 2500 calories. If the budget permits it, the $0.10-per-pack stock cubes will make your rice/pasta taste less like you're eating soylent green (but have no calorific or nutritional value).
>>702545877
fuck bread, pasta and meat @40$ per month
only viable option if it is -50% due to last day they can sell it.
captcha: choose all the food
Big bulk bag of rice, say 20kg. And a big bulk bag of Pinto beans, also 20kg. Contains all proteins and carb to keep you running for months without losing weight or feeling tired. Literal pennies per serving. Buy some chili sauce or something for extra flavour.
Also, hang out with friends and eat there for some variation. Ask the local baker for leftovers at closing time. Be prepared to mop a floor or something. Toss the bread in the freezer. They arnt allowed to sell bread thats too old. Good luck anon.
>>702543491
Yeah, this.
Just eat "poor people food", and you'll have no trouble hitting your caloric requirements on $1 a day.
>>702541968
Buy dried basics (pasta/rice/pulses)
Freeze fresh ingredients (eg. chop and freeze onions)
Get simple tinned basics (tomatoes / beans)
If you get simple ingredients and learn to cook; you'll have no problem.
Fresh veg is pretty cheap in reality, and most can be frozen in a convenient form.
Tinned stuff is also cheap, while a slightly more prepared version of the same in a jar is expensive.
>>702541968
Rice, maybe some chicken bouillon if you can't deal with plain
When I was homeless we used to eat free stale bread from outside a bakery and top it off with shaving cream.
Purchase a 30 dollar printer and some paper. Print fake money. Order pizza everyday and scam the delivery guy.

Beans, potatoes, corn, flour learn to cook. 40 bucks could last you awhile if you can prepare shit from scratch.
>>702546528
>Freeze fresh ingredients (eg. chop and freeze onions)
Waste of time and money.
Chopped onions from the poor-people-freezer-store are cheaper, and you don't need to chop them.

>>702541968
Big sack of potatoes, some canned beans, cheese, frozen vegetables. Ask at butchers for bones for you "dog", boil them and make beef/pork stock, make soup.
Eat baked potatoes with cheese and beans, wedges, chips,mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, mix potatoes with flour and make potato bread
>>702541968
shop the edge of the grocery store. You're going to find fresh foods and less packaged shit.
Processing generally increases the price.
Convenience generally increases the price.
Spices and Seasonings are going to be expensive, but they make a world of difference.
Get bulk pasta, not Hamburger helper.
Skip meats and dairy, get protein from vegetable or grain sources (lentils, chickpeas, black beans, quinoa, green peas, ...)
You're going to trade your time for money; the less some food costs, the more prep and cook time it will take.
Do you have a crock pot? That can be a real time saver.
good luck.

This.
Also include other legumes like peas,various beans,chickpeas,whole soy beans etc. All of them are very cheap and filled with proteins and slowly digested carbs that will keep you full for a long zimě.

buy $20 of dry beans, $10 of rice, and spend the rest on scratch lottery tickets

Brown rice
>>702548372
u been smokin bruh?
Just buy a fuck ton of pasta. If you've got the time or a processor you can buy tomatos and make like 3 days of sauce for next to nothing.
If you have the time try dumpster diving, sometimes I would find canned foods or bags of chips, some not even near expiration. Just ensure it's legal and the dumpster isn't locked up.

sry for the deception.
by food in bulk and forget about good meat.
buy a sack of potatoes per week (i doubt you can even finish that and they're super cheap), rice, beans, lentils, other grains.
if you're gonna buy meat make it those mixed chicken packets that contain pretty much everything but chicken breast.
stay away from the more expensiveish stuff that is usually prepackaged.
you won't be swimming in flavor town, but you won't starve.
make sure you don't spend ANY of the 40 dlls on anything else.

Buy frozen (usually bought in bulk at a good season so they are cheap) or go to local markets for vegetables.
Cheaper meats are chicken and ground mix of beef/pork
Forget buying sauce from cans in the future, you're paying a lot of money for whats mostly tomato sauce. Invest in some fresh herbs. They grow everywhere and provide constant fresh and cheap supplies.
Buy big, cook big, portion and freeze.
Also checkout special member offers with retailers. I get 1.06 eu in credit/cash everytime im third or more in line. So far ive gotten over 200 eu.

Like 95 % of the thing is possible. The guy who wrote the book is an engineer who did his research, ranging from simply reading up on it to directly answering and discussing the situations.
If you have enough mental capacity and space you should grow food. Iv done it loads and im sure someone in a desperate position could survive if they can maintain the plants and grow the correct food.
I recommend potatoes in a large bag, carrots in a raised bed somewhere, strawberries on a shelf, peppers and tomatoes plants are easy to maintain as well

Potatoes, budget pasta, and rice for your main food source. Combine those with canned tuna, eggs, and the fattiest (cheapest) ground beef to splurge on one day a week. It should give you enough variety to change what you eat day to day so it is more tolerable.
>>702542830
this
then buy some shit to add to your ramen to jazz it up

ramen - about 6/1.00

>>702541968
Rice. Buy as much rice as you can with the $40. It's filling and Asians have been living off that shit for centuries. Get some basmati rice, since it tastes the best plain.

Better off with dry beans, lentils, split peas then cheap meat like chicken, buy some cheap fresh veggies to fill it out. Rice has very little nutrition, it is just a filler, legumes and such have much better bang for the buck.

Soylent Green is people! Soylent Green is people!

It's not that bad if you eat again the next month you don't feel sick you just feel lightheaded and dizzy a little but the once a week meal brings you on top for a few days again.

How is this ban on underages work? I mean there is no account, area ban has collateral and ip damns family members too. And how long the ban stays? What if he gets over 18? I am not underage myself, it just bothers me.

That sounds like a question you should ask a mod.
>>702551440
You can't just live off pure carbs you have to have protein aswell. Don't forget vitamin c or you risky scurvy and you die within weeks.
>>702553216
You should read the book, he explains most of that in there
>>702564126
THIS dumpster diving is your friend.
Plus beans, rice and ramen!
>>702564362
Honestly from a guy who has done this many times just stop eating and eat once a week i alrdy told you. If africans can do it why can't you, don't be a whiny bitch just pull yourself together.
>>702541968
lentils, pasta, rice and anything in a can. drink only tap water.
>>702564544
Actually right now I'm broke due to some delay in my regular payments.
I've been eating jackshit this past week. Granola, rice, and tinned meat.
I'd rather eat than feel as if my stomach is going to come out of my ass.
>>702541968
Ramen, nigga. Also look at your stores local deli, they usually will sell full chickens for like 5, or some small sausages and potatoes for like 2. Or just browse the Internet for budget shit, ain't too hard.
>>702564945
It won't feel like that after not eating for a while you feel nothing no pain no hunger no problems just tired and a little dizzy. If you NEED to eat your only optinon is dumpster diving but i always starved rather than that i find it disgusting.
im very broke and can't afford anything extra so i typically live on 1 egg per day unless my grandma takes me out for dinner, once a month
Turn the $40 in $80, by eating once every 2 days.
so thats 15 days of 80$.
$5+ daily can buy you pretty much anything anyone else eats.
>>702565250
i also never ask for money or charity from family so ya
>>702565250
The jabs during ww2 could eat nothing but rice for a month and survive .. people are just weakminded.
>>702565350
>$5+ daily can buy you pretty much anything anyone else eats.
>>702565169
I know. The hunger pangs go away after a day or so.
But feeling dizzy, sick, tired and nauseated isn't good or healthy. I'd rather eat a little than starve.
>>702565394

>>702549826
Hey there Maciek.
>>702563979
It only bothers you cuz you are prob underage, just a lil smarter than that other faggot.
>>702565541
Then find your super market wait for them to close up and do like the beggers do. Dive in for that trash nothing wrong with the food and it's still packaged. I just don't have to stomach for that.
Rice and organ meats
>>702565536
Ever heard of rice, pasta, bread?
That's what people usually eat.
$5 a day is more than enough to buy a source of protein too.
>>702565560
Was making a point that you can eat once a week for a month and still live thru it. It's not that hard it's just will and focus.
>>702542605
But that's people.
>>702565960
Your body will eat itself to fuel the brain. No such thing as free energy. You will lose parts of your organs. You don't get to decide which parts are eaten so you could die from it. Enjoy organ failure.
>>702565960
Yea, ignoring the damage you do to organs and bones from the lack of essential aminos and vitamins. Fun fact, you can't see most results of malnutrition till it is way too late.
>>702543576
Actually looks like it'd be really good.
>>702541968
Oatmeal. not the flavoured individual sachet shit, a big bag of the plain stuff. Cheap per serve, fills you up.
Go to a Safeway (or its equivalent where you live) before closing, and buy a whole rotisserie chicken for 4 dollars. Should last you several meals / couple days.
Eat it over rice, or with potatoes. (Also hella cheap. Sliced potatoes with salt and pepper and maybe a little oil will keep you fed for days if you're desperate enough)
Or refrigerate it and mix it with apples and cranberries and mayonnaise to make a nice chicken salad sandwich. Shit, throw some walnuts in there too.
Buy some lettuce (not iceberg lettuce, that shit has no nutrients whatsoever, it's like 99.5% water, which is why its so cheap, and why every shit restaurant sells it, and why any half decent restaurant will have a salad with real greens). Make a salad with it.
>>702541968
Get as many variants of frozen asia veggies and the biggest bag of rice you can find, a bottle of soy sauce and eggs and then make a stir fry dish.
You can literally eat for 1-2$ a meal with that and it's nutritious.
You can also try pasta, canned pasta sauce, grated parmegiano, tuna and make a pasta dish but it's probably more expensive.
Eat sweetend porridge (water not milk) for breakfast, can't really get cheaper than that.

You have never lived on an actual budget have you. Chicken? Cranberries. Yeah he should save and buy the larger tin of caviar.
Buy high protein cheap shit like yams or peanuts, peanut butter works too, then buy a shit ton of cheap filler carbs so you don't feel starving all the time, raman, egg noodles, pasta, rice, etc. I used to eat peanute buttered noodles twice a week, it keeps you full because of the protein and the carbs give you some energy. Pasta is great too, take some of that beef and mix it with sauce in a pan plus a little olive oil and save the extra sauce you didn't put on the pasta to give other meals a little protein.
Buy rice, butter and great northern beans and drinks, take it slow with the eating but you should be fine cause you can make some dank ass food with just beans and rice. Just pick up bag of rice with like 20-25 99 cent cans of great northern beans of navy beans.Trust me when I had no power and just a propane stove for like three months navy and great northern beans saved my life, trust me anon, get the beans and the butta
>>702567097
I've never actually bought cranberries, honestly... I just got a little carried away... I'm hungry...
>>702566944
Avoid tuna. High in mercury and mercury can build up in the body and cause mercury poisoning.
>>702549747
This is true when you want to save money on large quantities of food. When you need to get as much for as little as possible, 99c store is the place to go. Big containers spoil before you use everything when you cook for one.
>>702549851
All the bulk pasta, beans, rice, and seasonings are in the middle of the store, fucktard. Stop repeating shit you don't understand.
>>702547108
Why not just eat the bread without the shaving cream?
>>702543541
Underrated post.
>>702541968
THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO SUSTAIN YOURSELF IS BEANS AND RICE.
I'm assuming you have a single pot to cook these in and a stovetop on which to cook them.
Beans and rice. IF you're really on a super tight budget, load up on tons and tons of the cheaptes of both that you can stomach, and then anything you want in terms of "variation" can be bought as additions to the beans 'n' rice recipe.
>>702568589
Because the shaving cream adds moisture
>>702568862
Kidney beans? Baked beans? Which bean?
>>702541968
Spam, ramen, lentils, beans
Beans or lentils and rice. Both are dirt cheap, are tasty with the right spices (also cheap). Only downside is that you'll fart a lot and it can get dull after a while.
>>702569076
forgot rice
>>702569037
BLACK BEANS
SOAK THAT SHIT FIRST OR YOU'LL DIE
NO REALLY
Rice. Spend the rest on the dollar menu at mcdicks
>>702569037
I like black, pinto, or cannellini/haricot beans. They all taste a little different.
>>702541968
baked beans, bread and butter
toast and butter the bread then eat with the baked beans (i would keep the toast and beans separate, grab a piece of toast and spoon some beans onto it and eat it like a taco)
i lived off this for almost 2 years, can easily make $40 last a month
>>702549185
I used to go to local hole in the wall mexishop and get chicken leg quarters 40 pounds for 35$ would desperate into two leg quarters a meal and shit lasted like a month and a week if I remember
>>702565350
wut
so with your maths i can turn that $80 into $160 by eating once every 4 days
so thats 7.5 days of $160
$20 daily can buy your pretty much anything
op has $40 nigga the money doesnt magically double if you dont spend it in a day
>>702560912
>i was fucking around

>>702541968
buy a sack of potatoes and a sack rice.might lack in the protein content but you wont starve.
>>702571356
Lentils for protein as said in posts above
You can always eat DEEZ NUTS. They are full of protein.
>>702541968
1 dollar/packet of noodles or 50 cent ramen packets where the juice can be used to do multiple packets, saving the packets for other things
peanut butter and honey is high nutrition value but not a primary source for more than 3 days a week because of buildup, good for 1 dollar loaf bread
literally an ounce of honey can do three PB+honey sandwitches
eggs and bananas are the rest of this circle, unless you're a canned bean guy... I like canned chili with elbow noodles with the necessary water added, almost triple the volume of food of one can
walmart 1 dollar spices can last months of continued use, you can order from walmart
a costco card can get you: 10 dollar 1/2 gallon honey, 9 dollar 1/2 gallon peanut butter, 50 pack ramen for under 15 dollars, gallon bean cans for 7 bucks, 20lb rice bags for 14 bucks, 80 cent bread, 2 dollar/gallon of gas at their pumps
small mayo cans, some juice spices, boiled eggs, peanut butter, honey, powder spices, most noodles, etc don't need refridgeration and just need a fire source for absolute poorness
supposedly sometimes Chinese food is made from cats... cats can be easily acquired for free. spend $6 on rice, grab a few cats and go to the casinos with the left over $34.

he did use bacteria. from soil samples they had brought with them for growing experiments. once those bacteria died due to a hull breach he stopped growing them. I read the book and saw the movie maybe some things werent so clear in the movie but all of it was pretty much possible. it took a lot of time, shit and the right bacteria to make the soil fertile. besides "contains low oxygen, too much co2 for a plant to live" is bullshit since he didnt fucking grow them outside and if he tried the bigger problem would have been the fucking cold and lack of a thick athmosphere first and the rest second.
>>702558094
the movie wasnt so great but all of it was possible. just shitty explained in the movie and some things even changed. the book is more detailed about the technical problems aswell as the solutions.
Get the ramen noodles all those lentalls you'll be constipated for a month try ed it its bad
>>702541968
Rice m8. You can cook a cup of rice and eat it with something else.

No shit. Plain rice is nasty.
>>702541968
Walmart has an off brand box of mac n.cheese spirals for 1$ a box. I can make a box in the am and work on it throught the day, 30 boxes of mac+5$ for milk and 5+ for butter

>satoshieight
it's a scam
Soup and Rice
Soup is mostly water, which you always have if you live in an apartment.
Rice and Spaghetti is super cheap where I live, and is mostly what I eat when on budget.
I don't know where you live. But consider doing something to get a little extra $, offer help (I know it's cringy to ask, get over it).
I suppose if you are really desperate, go steal in grocery stores, whilst you are buying. Just an extra can or two somewhere.
apply for free samples
eat all the taster food at the mall
take candy from babies
build insect trap and catch all the bugs you can, squish them into a patty and cook
trap wild squirrells and rabbits
buy some guppies and breed them and farm your own fish
go to back or restaurants and eat the stuff that comes back
steal a fish pole and figure out where you can fish and find bait. Learn to cut and clean a fish.
