farm, buy seeds and bulbs. grow your own, you don't need much land.
>>714667415
pasta + rice dishes
chicken
eggs
i'm not poor so i eat whatever the fuck i want to
I eat a lot of fried rice or anything to do rice
Potatoes too. Lots of potatoes
Top ramen too, obviously, but too much can make you ill
It's also nice to have a costco membership cause you can get things in bulk. I like getting bulk hummus, spinach tubs, and frozen fruit there
>>714667415
Chicken
Milk
Oats
Dollar store or dollar menu
Loads of beans. Most any type are good, and I think they really are cheaper than dirt. You can flavor them with shitty cheap pork leftovers like "ham hocks" while they're cooking, and still eat the meat off the hock if you're desperate.
Don't buy vegetables in bulk, they'll go bad fast and you'll waste money
>>714667415
lots of veggies/ramen packets and some rice. raw chicken breast and im set for a week or so while also cutting back on calories and fat.

In Britain we have a shop called ALDI.
My food bill came to around £32, that included: Chicken, mince, sausage, frozen veg, frozen veg medley, chips, butter, bread, etc. Few tins of soup, snacks etc.
That lasts me a while to be honest. I don't see the issue.
Stuck on SNAP due to wife and daughter's disabilities.

>>714668199
We have that in usa as well.
Only good if you're shopping for a household that holds 1-3 people.
>>714667415

Though I will say it would be easier to spend your months $110 on staples once in a while than to try to budget exactly $29 a week.
Just like how you can buy enough food for a week with $35 but you'd find it harder to spend just $5 a day
>>714668228
No but frozen spinach and salsa can be substituted.
>>714667415
lentils, rice
bunch of garlic, tomato and pasta
fry cheaper shit together, make soup of leftover meat/bones/vegetable parts
oats with water

>>714668351
Quite a few other places, I've seen it in Kansas and Virginia.

I'm not too poor but I can cook and like to save money on food.
Kwik Trip gas stations have lots of staples for stupid cheap (potatoes, onions, bananas, etc). Their employees also seem to have a good opinion of the company.
Frozen veggies are a good value, and they're often fresher and more nutritious than "fresh" produce that's been shipped from chile or across the US.
>>714668226
sorry totally clueless about this so this is a genuine question. How can you grow wheat? Don't you need like a fucking huge field to get enough amount of flour out of it? Or what do you use it for? How can you prepare it? I assume you don't have a mill.

Aldi's a german Discounter Chain, it's insane to see it all over the world now.
A lot of people go shopping at Aldi, it's really funny what kinds of people you see there. Very often it's doctors or other people that don't really have to shop cheap. But it's just intelligent to do so I think.
That's how you stay rich to be honest.
>>714668609
oh yeah cabbage is fucking cheap and lasts a good while, easily two weeks.
There are some jewish fags on youtube called brothers green, they have some good cheap recipes.
Fuck Safeway. I go to grocery outlet. They got a carton of banana milk and chocolate bananamilf for $2. Avocados 70c each. 99c per pound tomatoes, 2.99 lb decent and more fresh ground beef.

The Aldis in my area is full of wild niggers and white trash. It is a pretty bad area though.
>>714667415
I would eat a lot of that shit in a day
and then have boiled eggs the rest of the week I guess
I cook and take it to work the next day. Varied results, but definitely spending less.
Also about 8 months ago, I started paying for the people behind me in the drive thru every time I go.
1) it prevents me from getting fast food as often because I don't want to pay double.
2) it brightens up people's day.
Although I don't pay for fat fucks or families.
>>714668885
Welp, yeah, I do live in a rich town in a rich neighbourhood. But still, I see a lot of people including myself that would be able to afford shopping at REWE or something just as much, but yet we find ourselves at ALDI, whereas when I do go to REWE I see a lot of people living on minimum wage or from the lower social classes.

>>714667415
Find a couple of discount grocers in your area and figure out what they stock. Generally speaking the more basic the amenities the less expensive everything will be for you.
Buy non-perishables and long shelf life in bulk:
Potatoes, rice, pasta, onions, carrots, oil, sugar, flour, beans.
If you have a freezer bulk purchase less expensive meats like chicken and pork and zip lock them in meal-sized portions.
Learn about spices and how they work so your food doesn't suck.
General rule of thumb: if it comes in a box or only needs to be heated to eat it's not worth buying.

Find an Asian market store nearby, they sell produce that is significantly cheaper than grocery stores. I do all my produce shopping there for sometimes 1/4th what i would spend at a normal store.
>>714668699
All the sodium, preservatives, fat, and nitrates
Probably one of the most denatured foods you can eat.
$29 a week seems low. Like, that's the amount that people get that BARELY qualify. I remember when I was looking if I qualified and they offered me ~$200 a month. I could easily eat somewhat healthy on that.

pretty sad when rich white women try to tell the very poor minorities theyre allegedy helping how to shop for a family of 3 (on average).
1 week of that leaves you deficient in nurtrition as an adult, let a lone a growing child.
hilarious
>>714668699
It's fried pasta with sodium, eating a lot of it might imply not eating other things, you're getting no nutrients, and it really isn't a meme that "food is fuel"
i love ramen, but i can't imagine eating it even every day like when i was in high school
>>714669529
>eggs, $5
I don't know where you buy yours, mine are just under $3 for a dozen, and sometimes the same price for 18, depending if they're on special.

Bulk bags of rice and beans, boxed dinners, and shit that comes in a can. Eggs are reasonably cheap too considering what you're getting. Forget buying fresh fruit, veggies, meat, or dairy.
>>714669557
My family was so poor we basically just ate ramen for like 3 years. I ended up not being able to eat gluten later and I really think it's because I was poisoning myself with that shit.
>>714669740

>>714668695
Limes, cilantro, beans, garlic, onion, avocado, corn, tomatoes, rice... that's not a bad base for a variety of Mexican dishes.
Except the proportions are all wrong -- 1 tomato, and 7 limes? And those tortillas are microscopic.

Ramen isn't a lot of food for the price really, even if you drink all of the "broth"

It's just an empty carb that makes your stomach feel full, with some salt and bouillon to make it taste like something.
You might as well have bouillon cube soup and flour+water biscuits.

>>714670009
kek no. I've been actually legit poor back in the day. Like both parents lost their jobs in the 08 crash, we lived in a rural area and my dads only job prospect was splitting wood and mowing lawns. He got cash under the table so he could buy boxes of ramen and maybe hot dogs and macaroni and cheese if he had a good month. Ever burn your old homework for heat? I have. That's why I worked and put myself through college, cause I'm not a nigger and I demand to live well now.

Where I come from, a raw potato is good enough. Boiled potato chunks in water with some seasoning is a feast.
>>714667415
Moar veggies.
Lentils or beans are pretty darn filling, and superduper cheap. A small bag of dry beans that you boil turns into tons and tons of beans.
Get a few decent recipies.
Try this on: Fry an onion and some garlic. Boil red lentils in crushed tomatoes+water, togheter with the onion and garlic. Add some salt, peppar and maybe a dash of chili and/or oregano.
The number 1 trick I can recommend is buy rotissierie chickens from Costco. A whole, cooked chicken is $4.99 - less than you can buy an uncooked one for. My family of four will have that with rice or something that costs basically nothing one day, then after I've pulled all the meat off I make stock out of the carcass. THEN I make something called Farmhouse Chicken Chowder - just search for a recipe with that name - we love it. So out of the $5 chicken plus about $5 of other ingredients we can eat for like 3 days.
Another recipe I make from chicken stock is called Bean Counter Chowder. It's totally cheap. Find that one online. Dirt cheap because it uses a lot of canned beans.
Also eggs are very cheap protein - especially from Trader Joe's or Aldi. Learn how to take advantage of this fact.
Learn to make your own flour tortillas - it's fast and dirt cheap and you'll never want to buy them from the store again.
No-knead bread. Takes about 7 minutes of effort and is better than most bread you can buy at the store. You have to wait overnight for it to rise, but it's way worth it. See if you can find an episode of Good Eats called "Going Dutch" and watch that.
Learn to make pizza. Search for the recipe for Imo's St Louis style pizza because it's awesome and you don't have to make a yeast dough. Then once you've mastered that learn how to make a yeast dough because you're not a loser. The ability to produce a quality pizza in a regular kitchen is a seriously badass skill and a large-ish pizza costs about $5 or less to make and kicks little ceasar's ass all over the place.

This is something that always pissed me off. My parents were always poor as fuck, barely bringing in enough to pay the bills, getting several "pay us or we'll take all your shit" notices a month, yet they still found the money to constantly buy mountain dew, booze, and cigarettes.
Now here I am with a decent job and tiny living expenses (because I'm used to being poor so I stay frugal) and they're asking me for money.
And you see this shit all the time in poor communities. Oh, Cleatus White needs the government to keep himself fed, but the fucker can still drink bud light and smoke while he bitches about the damn democrats?
Motherfuckers, if you're poor quit spending half your money on vices and luxuries.
>>714675212
We're actually kind of making the same point. This is me >>714675379 . I know for a fact that poor people aint buying 7 limes, know why?
If they're dumb poor people (like most poor people) they're spending their money on dumb shit and fast food.
If they're smart poor people they're spending money on cheap staples and deals, not stuff like a lime that offers flavor but few calories.
>>714675059
I had it three years ago
i could only buy food with it, and not all food, certainly no cigarettes or alcohol. no pet food, no toilet paper, no medicine, nothing besides food/drink. I could buy frozen meals, raw meat, any kind of vegetables, that kinda shit, but I couldn't buy a rotisserie chicken for example.

Sometimes bad things happen to smart people. My grandfather for example has a masters in electrical engineering, and spent most of his life designing guidance systems for missiles. After he retired he got cancer and ended up spending all his savings on treatment. Now the cancer's gone, but he's living on a tiny pension and a few government benefits.
He's very, VERY smart, but he's also poor.
Because sometimes bad things happen to smart people.
Buy whole roaster oven chickens. Roast the whole bird or French cut and make individual dishes, make stock, make porridge.
Got a 30 pack of decent ramen for 7$ the other day at the Azn store which was bomb

Not always, Some people have disabilities or medical conditions or just a lack of opportunity that holds them back. I think liberals take it way too fucking far with the affirmative action shit, but how the fuck is a dude with mental retardation supposed to get rich?

One word of advice. Stop supporting your degenerate parents. Being an enabler never helps the situation, just like SNAP doesn't help a poor person's situation. It's just a crutch.

Dumpster diving.
I got around $3000 of food, cleaning products, cheap electronics, clothes, chocolates, random stuff just sitting around my house. Mostly food. I have to throw out $200+ worth of food a week because I can't eat it faster than it spoils.
Also you can try food stamps.
lentil soup 80 cents
water 29 cents
some cheap bread for 80 cents
30 bucks for month
I actually do this as a way to save money through the school year. I spend about 20-25$ a week, but it's on me not a family, but I do buy more non necessities.
So the break down as long as I go to the shitside of town is:
4$ -1lb of lunch meat. Usually ham
2$ - loaf of bread, lasts about a week
3$ - chips to go with the sandwich
5$ - 12 pack of coke (not a necessity)
With the remaining 11$ or so I get variety, so usually ramen to intermix with the sandwiches.
Ramen is usually a dollar a pop, maybe a bit more but i usually grab
3$-3x ramen
3$/ can of soup
Usually only go with Campbells which are usually a dollar more expensive than off brand so with the remaining budget I get 2 of those.
So grand total is like 25$
Which usually gets me through the week at 2 meals a day. I live in California, so cost of living is generally higher here

That works if you're in a country with decent healthcare, but for an american with cancer who has a wife with diabetes and then heart disease, the money will disappear pretty fucking fast. My grandparents used to be loaded as fuck, to the point where they had so much extra money they paid for most of my college, now I'm paying for most of their care. Smart, rich people can be unlucky too.

As a semi-pro dumpster diver I highly don't recommend this.
Find a supermarket dumpster instead that doesn't have hobos nearby unless you want to get stabbed or something.
I currently take in like $1000+ per WEEK of dumpster diving from just 2 dumpsters nearby.
Tons of milk, cheese, eggs, rice, pasta, cereal, insane ungodly amounts of food. And most of the fruit I take I throw out because one person can't eat 8 lbs of apples or 15 heads of lettuce. I've even got a box of Nicaraguan cigars sitting downstairs. $4 a piece retail value, I paid nothing.
Trust me, OP. Dumpster diving is the way to go. But under no circumstances do you ever do it in restaurant dumpsters. Supermarket and pharmacy dumpsters only. If you're lucky you'll find a small alcohol shop that throws out war beer/vodka. If you don't mind cooling it down and mixing with juice for taste, you can get free alcohol.

Why should "stupid people" be left to starve?
Stupid here obviously meaning people were not properly educated, or do not have the abilities to make it in an economy that's insanely different from the environment we evolved to cope with.
What makes you think "stupid" people wouldn't prefer to eat you or die trying, rather than starve? How steady will your wageslave job be if hungry people decide to just start wrecking shit?
Even the romans gave out a daily allotment of grain to keep the plebs from rioting.

I get this soup mix at wal-mart
>2.20ish for the bean soup mix (2 pounds comes with flavor packet)
>3.20ish for their brand of sausage or bratwurst (one pound, maybe a little under. i cut them into about 8-10 pieces each with kitchen scissors)
>.90 cents for a can of diced tomatoes
>1.00 for a lemon and a large yellow onion together
>.27 cent refill of purified water at the machine (my tap water tastes funny)
About $8 after tax. I just follow the "quick directions" on the package of soup exactly and in 3 hours I've got so much fucking soup. It reheats well in my opinion, and it really is stretched if you want to dip some crackers in.
I'm not at the mom point yet where I spend all day cooking chili, then freezing it in single serving containers just to save a few dollars.

For real. i can see how in big city hellholes there is just not the space.

In a place like chicago or some other palce where everyone is packed like sardines yeah i can see it.
But even in most "big" citys houses in the poor parts of town have a front and back yard. and the housing complexes often have a comunity area more then large enough for a group garden.
But that would require them to get off their lazy ass and work which we all know they dont do.

And despite being the riches single person in the building, I'm one of only three people here who grows some of my own food.
That's actually one thing I think immigrants tend to be better about than american born poor people about; they're willing to be stingy and work long hours, but they'll still try to make a decent home out of it, they don't just wallow in their own filth like so many poor niggers and white trash, because the immigrants don't feel so entitled, they KNOW that if they want a decent life they'll have to work for it.

Explain how a smart person isn't able to be wealthy? If you aren't able to, then you are definitely not smart and never were. I'm guessing you are autistic and have zero social skills preventing you from getting where normal smart people excel.

You gotta add stuff to them man. Go to ethnic markets, they always have cheap veggies, but don't buy eggs there, they don't wash them right and they have salmonella and shit on them. I don't buy meat from them either, but that's just because the butcher at the one closest to me never wears gloves or washes his hands.
Add spinach, onions, peppers, bok choy. Lots of dark green veggies, they tend to be really nutrient packed and pretty cheap.

Your whole premise is that stupid people should starve.
Most people outside of edgy kids on /b/ will disagree.
And many of them recognize that our (mandatory) school system is fucking garbage and does nothing to prepare people to make a real living. The modern economy you (claim to) thrive in also hollowed out all the traditional means people used to help each other (big extended families, small autonomous communities, etc).
Hating people who need SNAP or saying they should starve is just petty vengefulness... mostly engineered by the people who are actually robbing you.

You're both missing the point. Yeah, if I wanted to I could live a pretty posh life, but I have responsibilities to people other than myself, which is true of plenty of other people who are poor.
Yes, I'm poor by choice, because I choose to give so much to my family.
So let's make a hypothetical here, a story that's fictional but mirrors plenty of people i know.
How is a single parent who spends 12 hours a day working, six days a week at some shitty factory job or at retail, with three kids, supposed to suddenly get rich?
If you say, "Well if they were smart they wouldn't be in that situation in the first place" you'll prove that you didn't think it through.

3. I'm not talking about people with assorted antisocial personality disorders, or people who are compulsively selfish, I'm talking about people who actually have the emotion centers of the brain damaged. These people who are totally free of the "handicap" that is emotion, are sad, broken people who never do anything.

Aldi is great. I get my Greek yogurt there and I end up spending about $3 for lunch a week. Their bread and peanut butter (my breakfast) is also only a few bucks a week. What I save on those meals I use toward shit like granola and almonds, and dinners like jambalaya or Mac n cheese + a protein result in leftovers. Eggs for dinner is also a cheap source of protein, and I feel more creative at dinner if making breakfast foods. Aldi is the shit, and if you don't have a lot of space, it sure beats going to Walmart once a week.

This reminds me of my cousin. She was a registered nurse making some serious bank by working crazy hours at $32 per hr. She had the nice big house with the pool. And had the best fucking parties.
Unfortunately she got pretty bad arthritis in her late 20's. I used to think that only old people got that shit. Well, it affected her job. she can't do much with her hands anymore. And now the house is gone, and she lives on government handouts. She end up moving back with her parents too. It's fucking sad seeing her like that.
