Got any suggestions? Quoted post when i'm that broke i either eat ramen or something off a 99cent menu.. i.e. wendys, taco bell, etc.. although i hate resorting to the latter, sometimes it's my only option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'm keeping to that sort of budget so my suggestions are Rice fried boiled fills you right up! Potatoes chips,mashed, boiled, baked with toppings, roasted! lentils with a bit of oil and onion, water, turmeric you can make dhal (lentil soup) half of india lives on the shit! cost you like 50c a meal work out your menu for the week and combine your ingredients so you don't waste stuff. vegatable soup finishes off the leftovers at the end of the week. Meat always blows the budget but if you bulk on veggies and get by with very little meat you'll be laughing Not vegetarian but basically vegetables are cheap as!

deterrent Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'm a vegitarian, I do the lentils for a while they're packed with protein. Driving past the payment window works? That too funny. I've always wanted to do the Jackass move were a car places the order and you runpast intersepting the passoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraday Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Oh, buy boxes of jiffy mix.. they're cheap and good. you can make muffins, cornbread, etc.. i buy the pizza dough mix, and get one of those jars of pizza sauce.. home made pizza is yummy and you can basiclly use whatever's in your fridge as toppings (onions, ground beef, bacon, leftover chicken, etc)..

!@#$% Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 word to the jiffy on the PANCAKE tip filling as all get out, good with jelly or syrup or even just butter easy to make RICE & BEANS stoopit filling, this shit is super healthy also feeling rich? add cheese RAMEN. classic poor man's meal SUBWAY meatball subs 2.99 EGGS, WITH TOAST & MILK scrambled, hardboiled, or a big omelette GRILLED CHEESE PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY BANANAS & PEANUT BUTTER MAC & CHEESE the PIZZA is a good idea too. but you can get crazy cheap if you actually make the dough and sauce from scratch. takes a bit more time, and some planning, but flour, water and yeast are super cheap.

saraday Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i know this doesn't SEEM cheap.. but a good way i save money is by making a large roast on a sunday.. they're 8-10 bucks depending on how big it is, but you can eat off of it for at least a week.. make the roast in a crock pot.. YUM.. you can make sammiches/po-boys (or hoagies as all you northerners call them) out of the leftovers and it's super yummy. lots of garlic helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 At the supermarket they sell these 1.19 bags of flavored rice/pasta, those are pretty goood. It's a mixture of rice and pasta with different flavors. It's usually around where they keep the stuffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 A real good trick is to go to the supermarket at use the self-checkout line. When you ring something up, like say 5 dollars worth of fresh hamburger meat, or 8 dollars worth of chicken breast, don't use the barcode on the package. Instead, weigh the meat on the scale as baby carrots or peas or something similar. 5 dollars of meat becomes 40 cents worth of vegetables.

GnomeToys Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Fermentor's trick works wonders, I've used it when I was broke before. Nobody really suspects much unless they're staring at your screen because you still rang it up. Look into some indian vegetarian recipes on recipesource.com. Cheaper than all get out.

Zack Morris Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 you can always resort to dumpster diving. Bakeries are good spots as most of them throw out thier extra bread at the end of the day. Nothing like getting 15 loaves of bread for free. I got some awesome cheddar something else bread in teh freezer. Just make sure that all the bread is in its own seperate trashbag from everyting else. You can always rack food or go on the survivor diet and just eat nothing but steamed rice. Salvage stores are also awesome. Most supermarkets won't sell dented cans of food so go to the stores that sell those cans and get that shit dirt cheap. Nothing like cans of campbells soup for a quarter a can. Rock on gwen stefani sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
