Hi /ck/, I need your help. I'm trying to frugal my way to

>>8406571
For me, it's the McChicken and Google.

Do you make them at home or just buy them at McDonald's? They're pretty expensive in my country...

Tl;dr

1. if you want to treat yourself buy reduced food that is or went off on label

breakfast:
Eggs + Bacon + (flour etc for home made bread)
or
porridge + honey (occasional berries etc)


Mains:
Pork shoulder (cheap as fuck and easy to cook in slow cooker)
Pay for fishing licence and go fishing/learn it -> free fish
Eggs
Soupe
Frozen Veg (cheaper and still good)

I spend 40 GBP for 2 weeks of food just buying eggs, porridge, oil, vinegar, some fresh veg, frozen veg and that includes some nice little things (spices, cheese, reduced goodies)

lmao I live off of $50 a month get good

>frugal your way to an early retirement
>off of minimum wage
In all sincerity, good luck. But you'll make more money by actually working. I myself chop firewood and hunt game to sell. During the summer I repair and sell lawn mowers, and I lease a consignment shop that I sell out of and live in, as it has an apartment attached. I work seasonal at a seafood processing plant. I probably make a hundred grand a year just hustling.

You'd be surprised how much money you save on food when you're eating meat you hunt yourself, and mushrooms you forage. I only buy vegetables, grains, pasta, and random snacks, while sticking to 100 bucks a month budget.

Investing your money, especially when you're earning so little, is never a good idea for early retirement. You're better off busting ass for ten years instead. You'll actually have money to blow, rather than just enough to get by.

>I save and then invest every dollar I earn above this
good advice though

>suffering and inexperiencing life while young in the hopes that your luck won't run out by either dying early or being too much of a miserable oldfuck to enjoy what you could have younger

Why do you types gamble your lives this much?

The mainstays of my cooking (120$ a month)
Rice (jasmine and plain white)
Chicken (thighs usually)
Canned mackerel, salmon or sardines (lots)
Potatoes
Cabbage
Onions
Garlic
Spices

Sometimes to splurge I'll buy stuffing and a rotisserie chicken.

>$40-60 on breakfast and lunch

What the fuck are you even eating? Jesus, I spend $50 a week for all three meals.

Buy rotisserie chicken at grocery store and eat your fill. Pick the remaining meat from the bones, then freeze bones and meat separately. Save up the bones from several carcasses, then cook them all day in a slow cooker to make broth/stock. The stock can then be frozen for later use or used immediately with the remaining frozen meat.
