Hey /b/.
I have 10 dollars to feed myself for two weeks. I need advice and help on how to make this last as long as I can.
As far as things I already have - I have a 4 pack of burgers, and 1kg of rice, some canned beans and various stocks/gravys. Some frozen vegitables and a bag of frozen chips. OH, and 3 or 4 packs of instant ramen.
I'm not TOO concerned - but It's deffinetly going to be tight.
Any suggestions on how to make this 10 dollars go as far as it can? Should I just buy as much rice as I can?

I live in Australia, in my state the only food kitchen open requires registration and a note from the department of human services, which will take a couple of weeks anyway
Depending on where youre from exactly theres alwas some local deals that will give you an advantage.

>>767551487
Oh thats really kind of you - thanks for the thought.
I didn't make the thread hoping for donations or anything though, just genuinely hoping others have had to do the same and might have some advice for me.
Buy rice beans and/or lentils op
>>767551039
Just buy bargain bin breakfast cereal. You should be able to get 3 boxes. Divide it into 14 portions.
It will keep you alive
>>767551502
suh
so you need 2 weeks of meals, that's 3 a day for a total of 42 meals
from what you already have it seems you should be good for at least 8 meals, plus a few depending on how many canned beans you have
what I suggest you do is to go online and check your daily caloric needs based on your body (BMI, weight, those kinds of measures) and then keep that number in mind, since that's what you'll be aiming for each day
you should make sure to get the minimum daily allowance of protein for your size, every day, the other major nutrients won't be an issue as avoiding them requires active effort
off the top of my head when it comes to affordable nutrition, the two things that come to mind are eggs, which are the most cost-efficient source of protein on the market, rice for carbs, and dry beans (much cheaper since they will require soaking before cooking, but beans are extremely nutritious)
I would try to focus on those three things. With a bit of salt, they won't blow your mind, but they are tasty enough. It will get boring, but you'll preserve your health through this period.
>>767551039
Ramen? Here in us we get 5 soups on a pack for 1$
Can easily make it through a day eating only 3

Rice and frozen chicken. Healthy enough, cheap, and it'll keep you alive.
>>767551039
Bulk fried rice and beans, add cheap eggs for more staying power. I'm talking like a two pound fried rice dish sectioned into daily meals.
Also,. Contact Churches around you for a free food box.
>>767551815
All that typing and you opened with a false premise. You don't need 3 meals a day.

what city live in?

>>767551901
technically speaking you could go two weeks without food
I wrote my advice thinking in terms of maximizing the number of meals, since 10 bucks is REALLY short for 2 weeks
sure, OP might only make it to 38 meals, but some other options in this thread would fall waaay short and force OP through a much more unpleasant situation
boiled rice w/ beans, plus some eggs, is probably the most cost efficient way to get as close as possible to that 42 meal mark
>>767551978
I approve this message, and if you go to jail it'll be a day or two of free food until the court date anon
>>767551784
I had to pay bills - and was hit with some I wasn't expecting.
Bills for me will always come over food. I don't even do a drug.
>>767551039
>2 weeks
Easy enough
More rice
Bulk pack of cheap chicken
Bag of frozen veggies
Some chicken bullion
--
Disolve chicken bullion in slightly more boiling water than used to make rice.
Chop up your chicken and toss it in boiling stock.
When chicken is cooked toss in a similar ammount of frozen veggies
When veggies are tender enough add rinsed rice and cover at a low simmer
When boiling stops uncover and remove from heat
Pet stand a few minutes before fluffing with fork
Enjoy your cheap nutritional balanced meal
First off, find a food bank.

Buy $10 in ramen. Pasta gives you energy. By only having $10 I imagine eating healthy is out of the question.
Personally, when I'm broke Ill do like a ground beef with gravey over rice/egg noodles.
Food is overrated.
You can make it with 10 bucks.
When i was on collage i do it multiple times.
Alot of rice is good as fuck :D If you got some multivitamin alredy take it every day. And you are good. Drink hell lot of water. And manage energy out take. Be lazy as shit. Especialy first week. Second you can be more productive. Or be productive only when you need.
>>767551815
i think it's fine. but the fullstops wouldn't hurt.
I grew up very poor on beans rices potatoes and carrots. For carrots find the bags meant for horse feed. Not pretty but edible
Buy some small red beans, an onion, a ham hock, some celery and a green bell pepper. Pick through the beans and soak overnight. Discard the soaking water, saute the ham hock, put everything in a big pot with water and simmer it for a couple of hours. Serve with rice.
Have a small Crock Pot? Buy some steel cut oats, cook a cup of those with four cups of water for eight hours, voila, breakfast cheap.
Ask the market if they have any produce or protein that's not pretty enough to sell any more. If you're really out of cash, don't be proud.
Mate. Grazing. Which is going to fuckin food courts and eating food people leave on their fucking table because they are disgusting lazy stupid cunts. A mate of mine survived a year only on grazing.

if you get really desperate bro i totally recommend stealing someones cat. shit's pretty delicious.
>>767551039
10 dollars to feed yourself for 2 weeks.... Well, it's not gonna be healthy, and likely if you really make the cash stretch for the full 2 weeks you'll likely be on two light meals a day.
>Loaf of bread
>24 pack of eggs
>as many cans of tuna as you can afford
>Bag of rice
>Bag of beans
>Ramen
Some combo of the above. I've made about 20 last a week before, but 10 for two weeks is some next level poverty shit. You might wanna try food pantries and soup kitchens if you have to.
Also note that stores usually don't bother to address small value shoplifting like under 20 bucks. Just go to a far away store from your place and pocket a few things when no one is looking. I ordinarily wouldn't recommend this, but if there's no other way.
Usually LP is trying to bust high dollar electronic and alcohol theft. No one would feel right about busting a guy who's taking a few bucks worth of food items, for all they know you have hungry children at home. Just don't make it so obvious that an employee is *obligated* to do something. Most retail guys are overworked and underpaid and they simply don't want more shit to deal with than they already have so unless if you're being blatant, I guarantee they won't give a fuck.
>>767551039
> Should I just buy as much rice as I can?
Yes. Rice + foraging. If foraging is not an option buy the cheapest fermentable vegetables (probably cabbages, onions and carrots) & ferment them.
>>767551039
Rice is good but incomplete protein. Beans are probably the best/cheapest compliment to get all the protein types you require, but save tons of money and by dry beans, not canned, then soak them to cook.
Raw potatoes are also very good and cheap options exist, but some potatoes are overpriced.
Raw chicken thighs or quarters can often be found very cheap per pound but usually get packaged in a way that it would probably suck up a big chunk of your $10.
Assuming you have salt and pepper, some oil or other fat for cooking is ideal in this situation, otherwise most of your options will have to come from water-based cooking like soups and stews.
If you are lucky enough to have some other spices, there are lots of variations you can do with rice, beans, & potatoes with a little meat.
If you are hurting for ideas, check out 3rd world (where refrigeration is not common) country's most common dishes and you will find tons of variety of the cheapest and tastiest meals to prepare.
>>767552230
Speaking of...
>>767551039
you already have a shitload of food.
buy a pack of dry beans. eat beans and rice.
buy a jug of oil. add 1 tbsp to it.
you have hit protein carbs and fat in one meal. it will cost next to nothing.
>>767551039
buy a ton of CupNoodles
>>767551039
buy as much dry pasta (which you can boil) as you can, and some mayo, ketchup, mustard or bbq sauce, and thats about it
>>767551039
Ramen and hotdogs.
Both can be microwaved and water is free (sort of)

some of these are unrealistic while others seem to be better thought out, but honestly I think some of you are not taking into account the amount of days OP will need to survive with only 10 dollars
any form of meat is a severe hit to efficiency, you can get much more bang for your buck if you stick to eggs for your protein needs
I would honestly focus 99% on rice and eggs. OP has a few hamburgers to break the monotony here and there. Also, while eggs are very rich in micro-nutrients, whatever shortcomings they have can be compensated by including small portions of the frozen veggies he already has, in several meals throughout these next 14 days.
Good luck OP
Cunt $10 is heaps. Right go find a good fruit and veg place you already have some rice get potatos unwashed 5kg should be $2.50-$3 at a good place even cheaper sometimes. Potatoes rice beans will provide you with most of what you need.
So now buy some cheap fruit. Whatever is on special or damaged fruit and veg shops usually have a discount section.
Third cheeper by miles, not quite right style store they usually have shit in there real cheap.
If you had a touch more I'd say get a loaf of bread every couple of days find a bakery that sells day old loafs I've found them for 50c a loaf for wholemeal. Also if you live in a city with lentil as anything just go there get a free meal.

>>767552513
do not do this. unless you like being broke.
Think for a minute, how do the homeless eat? Go to churches, go to soup kitchens, they have feeding times. Look at community resources. why eat ramen noodle for two weeks when there are resources in your community?
>>767553441
I did.
OP already has enough food to stretch a week
It really doesn't take much food to not starve unless you have to be active
Go buy 10$ in condoms, and work that street corner/dating app.

Can you not borrow some money from friends or family to buy more groceries and then just reimburse them when you get paid?
Jesus fuck some of you autists are making out like OP is going to go into toxic shock from lack of vitamins in 14 days. Tip... you can probably survive with only a handful of meals total in that time.
Fruit? Jesus.
All you need is cheap calories and lots of bulk to stop your bowel from eating itself.
Invite a buddy out to dinner
*oh shit, I forgot my wallet*
Profit
Here is what you do. Go to a very congested part of a city, like Time square New York or some shit and bring a friend with you. Have your friend approach a stranger to try to get his attention to purchase some of his wares, while you sneakily pick his pocket then both of you leave him be and get out of the area. Have a change of clothes to change appearance frequently. Think of whatever.

Rice & dry beans. You’ll have almost a complete protein. If you eat a couple crickets you’ll make up that amino acid

I'd agree with everyone who's saying go with more rice and beans, and buy some eggs too. Don't bother with meat. Have one of your burgers every 3 days or so. But 1kg of rice isn't enough if you haven't much else. How many cans of beans do you have?

Hello OP! Been there done that. Listen. I would exchange them to pennies. I know, it's tempting to eat the whole 10 dollar bill in one sitting, but what then? Then you would be fucked and very mad at yourself. Maybe you're thinking you can split it and save half; get that five dollar here and now, but come on.. That's just as bad in a way. The best thing you can now right now, in my opinion at least, is exchange it all to pennies. I read a study, or maybe it was an old Mythbusters, that actually just one penny contains more nutrients that an entire 10 dollar bill. So yeah, up to you. Good luck anon <3

Your mileage may vary. Some are dodgy as fuck, and others are convenient in a pinch if you're truly broke as fuck.
The big well known one is Swagbucks, but their minimum is $25 and takes a few days to process.
Try PrizeRebel ($5 minimum / 24 hour payout), or SuperPay.me ($1 minimum / 2-8 hour payout). It does me no good to recommend these, because I'm not including my referral link, but it'll get you from $10 to $20+ reliably.

Your local butcher can hook you up with odds and ends if you assplain your predicament. Put these in a pot, fry em up on each side then add some water.
Make a stew using that with the following:
1. Veggies - Potatoes, celery, carrots. Cut these into bite sized pieces. Also, blend a few cloves of garlic, a whole onion and two or three tomatoes.
2. Spices - Salt, pepper, paprika, maybe some chili powder if you want a kick.
Toss all this EXCEPT the chopped veggies in and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and keep it simmering for an hour or two. When you think it's good, toss in your veggies and boil for another half hour. Eat this with some day old bread you can find for cheap. You should be able to feed yourself using this for a week or two, more if you serve small portions and pair it up with a side of rice and beans you mentioned.
You can also suck cocks for $10 bucks now I believe. Donate plasma, bix nood.
Godspeed, anon.
