Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I only have $10

Rice, dry beans, frozen veg, eggs, oatmeal, possibly some meat if it is on sale. Try going to your local food bank.

Sack of potatoes- 3 dollars
3 pounds of beans-3 dollars
Cheap thing of chicken breasts- about 3 dollars.

Substitute the chicken breasts with rice if meat isn't an option.

Also, hit up food banks and churches for whatever you can get.

It's like you don't even know what being poor means

I dont wanna start a new thread so Im just gonna use this one
Instant soup or frozen pizza? Im hungry but stores are closed atm

Spam, ramen and (if you live near an asian grocery) seaweed flakes with sesame seeds in a shaker (usually labelled as rice spices). You'll feel like an upscale hipster eating out, the spam will last 4/5 bowls of noodles and all in all you're getting carbs/protein/fat. Not healthy, but it will keep you going.

Lettuce, tomatoes, dressing... life off of salads, maybe a dozen eggs to make breakfasts with.

Chicken thighs are 69 cents a pound, give or take. Get a family pack of 3 - 4 pounds for 4 dollars or less, 5 pounds of potatoes for another 2 dollars and spice it up with some onions and garlic, or peppers if you like. Buying individual onions/peppers will only add a few dollars onto the overall cost to keep it all in check.

So, you wind up with a ton of hearty and potentially very flavorful baked chicken. Might have to sacrifice some of the spices for olive oil if you're going to bake it and don't have any. If you find another 5 dollars or so pick up some hot sausages and toss that in with a chopped up green pepper. Easy 10 dollar meal that lasts quite a long time. That being said, you can probably get large packs of sausages and some rolls for cheap too, I know a package of 12 mild italian sausages at the shop near me is about 8 dollars, some rolls is 2. That's pushing it but you get the idea.

Or like that other anon said, eggs. Cheap, costs jack shit for a dozen. A million different ways to eat eggs. Eggs and potatoes are both cheap and go together nicely.

Depends. Frozen pizzas can be pretty bad but soups are usually consistent in terms of quality.

Everyone suggesting rice should kill themselves immediately

OP is poor, not a dog

If you already have them in your house, whatever you like, but if you're a poorfag like OP, then don't buy frozen pizza. Instant soup *might* be plausible, if you're looking at under $1.50 per 2000 calories. (A typical $0.20-$0.25 packet of ramen is around 400 calories).

>>8513807
but dark meat is icky :c

PLEASE
there are at least three separate threads like this per day
it's getting old

Agree with many suggestions here. Potatoes can be mighty cheap. Root vegetables like carrots or onions that have a long shelf life tend to be cheaper per pound than quickly spoilable produce like tomatoes or avacados.

Cheapest per per pound option of lentils, split peas, or dry beans. (Lentils cook fastest, peas medium, beans slower).

Cheap ass rice (should be around $1/pound).

I wouldn't bother with meat unless it's under $1/pound of usable meat (not counting bones or other inedibles). Chicken thighs, or near-expiration-date or other sales are candidates.

Consider pasta or ramen if it's under $1/pound, if you have any spices, oil etc. you could add to make it more tolerable.

And finally, if the duration mandates serious survival mode, your best calorie-per-dollar option will probably be sugar (dissolve it in water to consume). Fats like vegetable oil can also be useful. $2 buys you a 4 pound bag of sugar at Walmart. Drinking sugar water with other meager meals will stretch your dollar. Sugar water's the same nutritional wasteland as regular soft drinks, sports drinks, and most fruit juices, but a whole lot cheaper.

just check out all things dried. pasta, beans, rice, grains. eggs for the cheapest protein. bananas, green beans, lettuce, potatoes, carrots celery, onions... all pretty cheap and go a long way. as always, hit the markdown items.

If I were in this situation, I would buy eggs, oatmeal, bananas, milk, potatoes, pasta, onions, beans, rice and bread. I can find each of those things for under 1$ in my area.
