You have $20 to buy a weeks worth of food. What do you buy?

>>9281664
a WEEKS worth?
Shit, ima be eating straight rice or beans for a week then.
Food is fucking expensive here.

French fries and a ton of oil

$20 worth of limes, I don't give a fuck.

>>9281664
5lb bag of potatoes
dozen and a half of eggs
store brand peanut butter
cheap wheat bread
4 bags of 99 cent frozen veggies
handle of cheap vodka

Let's say it's $40-50 then. What do you buy?

>>9281688
Something like this. Lots of potatoes and eggs. Cheap veggies.

>>9281664
I buy lunch and then withdraw more money.

>>9281664
As Aldi still has the 35cent per 0.5l beer can offer, I get 55 beers and for food, who cares?

>>9281688

>>9281745
>As Aldi still has the 35cent per 0.5l beer can offer

Details on this? I assume this isn't American Aldi.

3 cups brown rice
1 cup lentils
1 cup broccoli
4 oz chicken
2 tbsp canola oil
1 egg

Eat this everyday and invest the remaining $5 in extra toilet paper

That's in Switzerland. They usually buy up the overproduction from breweries and fill it up in their own cans called something like Karlskrone or St. Gotthard...
It's beer but it can be anything from nice to tasting like utter shit. Who cares if you throw 2 cans from 24 away at that price.

>>9281664
Lentils

10kilos of rice, bag of frozen veg, cheese

£15 for a week?

Been on some shopping sites trying to see if it's doable.

I mean it is but Jesus does it make me realise how much I spend just because I don't want to spend a week eating rice/pasta with tuna/chicken and some veg for a week.

>>9281845
I started a diet recently and still spend at least $50.

>>9281809
You sound like you are suffering from addiction. Please seek help. I will pray for you.

>>9281851
That's around £40.

It really does depend where you shop around here.
I stopped by a Waitrose (upmarket sort of shop) because it was on the way home and they wanteed 80p (Around $1) for a potato. ONE fucking potato.

These are right around 17€

So I assume I have nothing, right?
And I assume the stuff I normally buy.
Breakfast
- 2 * goat's milk 2,50€
- oats 50€
- bananas for one week 1€
6,50€

Tight already.
Lunch
- 3 packs of spaghetti 3 * 0,70€
- 3 cans of tomatos 3 * 0,70€
- garlic 1€
- dried parsley 1 €
- hard cheese 3€
9,20€

so... popcorn for dinner every day.

>>9281664

>>9281664
5lb bag of rice = $5
bag of potatoes = $2
dozen eggs = $1.5
pasta = $2
2 cans of sauce = $2
1lb of ground beef = $5
3 italian sausages = $3
loaf of bread = $1

eat 1 big meal a day, the rice and potatoes will last longer than 1 week too so you could probably buy more meat/fresh vegg/snack

>>9281926
You're going to use a lime a day?

The usual stuff: whole wheat flour, beans, onions, celery, carrots, cabbage, kale, canned tomatoes.

I spend $2 on flour for flour paste and $18 on 9 /sips/

$1.38 - 2 dozen eggs
$1.00 - cabbage
$1.53 - 2lb onion
$2.00 - 1gallon whole milk
$3.40 - 5lb potatos
$2.79 - butter
$1.49 - 2lb carrots
$1.99 - celery
$1.00 - bread 4 bolillo
$3.00 - discount meat

something like that.

>>9281664
60 limes

Pound of rice, pound of beans, pound of potatoes and the cheapest chicken cuts I can find, maybe buy 2 roasts so I can make a broth. I use the rest for frozen vegetables like broccoli. If I have at least 50 cents left I can buy 2 dozen cheap tortillas.

With the spices I have I can make a simple stirfry with a side of rice, chicken and potato tacos with spanish rice and beans, chicken rice, a simple chicken soup. The only thing I would want is some onions.

>>9281664

soy sauce for seasoning
some type of oil

These questions are always stupid. You can easily eat well on $20 p/w on average. By spending more than $20 on pantry staples, oil, spices etc every now and then. It's very hard to eat well on $20 when you assume you have to purchase every ingredient needed for what you'll be eating.

>>9282482
I live in Houston. Prices were mostly Kroger with some Randall's.

If I wanted to be really cheap I'd do all my shopping at the Mexican grocery.
Replace potatoes with beans, butter with lard, bread with tortilla, carrot with tomato, things like that. Spend the bit I save on some cheese and just go full Mexican for a week.

5 lbs bag of brown rice, 8 lbs of shitty chicken quarters, 2 dozen eggs, a gallon of milk, roll of cheap breakfast sausage, and the remainder on bananas.

my wife is Mexican and literally uses that many limes in a week.

>tfw actually know how to cook

Cheap flour, cheap bulk eggs, cheapest $1/lb meat, beans, cheap bulk oil/butter, lentils, and frozen veggies plus the 50% off fresh veggies.

That's actually how I normally shop. I make my own breads and pastas. Except I thrift as much on shit I figure there's no difference between cheap store brand and save to buy online fancier olive oils that do make a difference or a fancier cheese or higher quality cut of meat. But if I'm broke fuck it I'll just skip that and slow roast a whole chicken, shred that meat and use it. Plus slow cook a pork roast but and shred that equally. Then with those two I have meats for the week, I have my bread, and it's just whatever seasoning/sauce with veggies.

Limes are 8 for $2 where I live. Why do people pretend as if it were some sort of extravagance like buying an imported cheese on a restricted budget.

Bag of chicken breast tenderloins that I can stretch across the week
Bag of frozen broccoli
Top ramen for empty carbs
Butter and/or teriyaki sauce to make my fried ramen recipe. I'm not sure if I'd be able to afford both with the rest of everything.

one whole chicken or beef for soup
vegetables for soup like carrots, leek, parsley, cabbage or celery
potatoes
onions
oats
noodles

Waitrose is sickening. Recently went on holiday with my girlfriends family. Her middle class brother (and his partner) spent £200 on wine and pizza from Waitrose. The pizza was all eaten in the first night and the wine only lasted a couple more days.

I can't imagine what kind of wage I would have to be on to spend money like that.

You can buy a box of 60 eggs for maybe $7. Why would you need more than that for a week? You could add some more substance to your diet.

Bell peppers

Fine, $14 worth of eggs and $6 worth of butter. Now I can have hollandaise sauce with my omelettes.

You want food for a week? Here ya go

1 lb black beans
3 lbs white rice
4 lbs tomatoes
6-8 onions
1 large squash
5 large carrots
1/2 bag of frozen corn
1/2 lbs mushroom
2 large green bell peppers
1 large bag spinach

>cook rice, set aside
>cook beans, set aside (or just buy canned beans)
>chop/dice up all veggies
>saute onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in oil
>add chopped/diced squash and carrots
>add whatever spices you want, I usually do just salt/pepper/garlic powder/ and taco seasoning
>add diced tomatoes
>keep on low heat until tomatoes are cooked down
>add beans, corn and spinach
>cook on low heat for 5 more minutes
>add cooked rice to pan (not all of it)
>toss rice until coated with sauce and veggies

BOOM.

Now you have enough food for a week. Lots of veggies, rice and beans. It will leave you with leftover rice as well.

I bought a huge packet of chicken legs with thighs the other day for $6, there must have been maybe 14 legs in there.

With the remaining $14 I would get a 2 pound bag of onions for $1.49, cheap cabbage for like $2, a few cans of tuna on sale like $4 for 4 cans at most, currently I'm at $13.50...

Whatever fruit is on sale probably like 4 oranges for $2... I'm at $15.50...

Some lemons, let's say 4 for $2 so I'm at $17.50...

And a big ass piece of bread like a baguette to last the week... $2.50...

Probably around round 8 bucks before tax.

General:
One 16 oz bag of lentils (under 2 bucks)
2 Hunts no-salt added tomato sauce can (44 cents each),
2 Lebanon Valley chick pea dip (just over a dollar per 13oz can)
1 46 oz unsweetened applesauce (less than 3 bucks)
2 16 oz. bags of Great Value frozen sweet peas (98 cents each)

I live in Cleveland fucking Ohio, so...estimating higher, that the total would be around say, $18.60 before tax, with a rate of 7.25 percent added...the total would be $19.95.

Chicken legs

Frozen mix vegetables

Rolled oats (1 box usually last longer than a week thought)

>>9281679
How many limes will that give you in your country?

$7.38 - 25lbs AP flour
$3.49 - 5lbs frozen chicken leg quarters
$1.12 - 3 pack dry yeast
$5.18 - 5 pound pack mixed frozen vegetables
$1.00 - 1 green cabbage
Total cost: $18.17 x .0625 (tax) = $19.30

What can you make?
1. 1.5 gallons of chicken stock using chicken legs, bones and rib meat.
2. Chicken gravy from roasting the thighs and the skins.
3. More than 2 pounds of either fresh bread or pasta per day.

Meals:
1) chicken soup with noodles and veggies 2) chicken broth with veggies and bread 3) chicken with stewed cabbage, veggies and bread 4) roast chicken, gravy, veggies and bread 5) chicken, pasta with gravy and veggies 6) pasta with gravy and veggies 7) stewed cabbage soup with veggies 8) stir fry chicken with vegetables and noodles

The protein source may get repetitive, but the nutrition is pretty solid. 25lbs of flour can be stretched for 2 weeks easy, which means that you'd get an additional $7.38 to spend on week 2 for whatever, or you could just suck it up longer to save your cash and buy a different bulk protein source.

The bottom line is that it can be done, and $20.00 actually gives you not only enough nutrition, but WAY fucking more nutrition than most get in the world every day.

That's how you know this guy knows what's up. Can get 3 dozen eggs or more here for a few bucks, big ol' bag of tators for dirt cheap, so not even 7 dollars spent on enough calories to get you through the week. Everything else you spend money on is to give you enough variety to keep you from killing yourself.

Personally I'd drop the vodka/bread/peanut butter to pick up either some cheap oatmeal or some cooking wine and cheap cuts of pork (cooking wine is only a few bucks here) to make some cost effective pork and potato roasts. A few bucks for butter/cream and you've got the fixings for mashed potatoes.

Chicken "leg quarters" usually have rib meat attached to them. That's because it's faster to process them in the factory using a bandsaw rather than a knife so you end up with extra meat that isn't actually part of the leg.

You certainly can. In fact you can live pretty well on that. But you can only buy groceries with it, no alcohol or non food items can be purchased with the card we issue out. They also can't buy hot food, like rotisserie chicken. They mostly buy frozen pizzas and potato chips, soda, various other nutritional staples. I'm not bitter.

I didnt know my post would get a lot of replies. Everything I posted was for a week, I assumed that cooking oil and spices (salt and pepper) were already had/easy to get. Eggs, potatoes, and frozen veg are my staple. Peanut butter lasts a lot longer than a week and is good to have on hand. I can swap out bread for a 25 pack of corn tortillas, they last a long time in the fridge. I like to buy apples and pears in bulk if its cheap enough and try to get fresh broccoli, tomato and spinach if I can. The Plastic bottle vodka was a sort of a joke, but 10 bucks for a handle is the cheapest Id go. If I know Ill be broke for awhile Ill buy a cheap chuck roast roast and slowcooker that shit with potato and carrots. I had to lived off that shit for 3 1/2 weeks once. you keep half in the fridge and half in the freezer to the long haul.

>>9291745
Its all about how long you can last with the sameness. Some weeks Ill buy $50-60 of food for only myself sometimes $30-35. Oats with fruit, spaghetti with sauce, and other stuff that can thrown together and made in bulk is great. Also good clean COLD water is important. Fill up on water if you feel hungry.

>assuming I have milk and oil
4 chicken thighs - $5
lots of cheap veggies - $3
dozen of eggs - $3
Bread- $2
Beans and Rice- $5
5lbs of Potatoes- $2

I'd probably just buy a $5 box of rice, a small $3 thing of butter, then sandwich shit. Bread, processed meat, and cheese

Just figured I could buy food for a family of four (10k calories a day) in less than half the snap budget. $240 at Sam's club and I'd have so much left over. Even got vitamin for the kids and can make cider with Apple juice/sugar. Yeah it's vegetarian, but the second month you would have plenty for meat and tons of frozen veggies.

>>9289089
I really haven't, are they any good? (I'm a bong)

>>9281664
Eggs, cucumber, some milk, rice, frozen corn, beans, tomato sauce. More than enough to sustain me, I have staples in bulk so I almost never need to buy them meaning I can usually just get away most weeks with spending $40-50 a month.

>>9284134
i think he just means on food lol otherwise he must be from Africa

>>9281901
There's no protein in your list. Maybe beans or eggs? And switch the goat's milk to regular milk, its cheaper. (and yes milk has protein, I just meant in a solid state)

>>9286067
what aren't you gonna do with a hundred limes?

>>9281664
Flour, chicken thighs if they are cheap, white rice, potatoes, carrots, cabbage,

Are spices and oils already assumed?

>>9293928
Eggs and pinto beans as well

>>9281688
Replace bread with rice or oats. Drop the peanut butter for... I don't know. Beans or some bargain meat.

$20 for a week? Easy

$5- 7 bags frozen veggies. Divide in half to get lunch/dinner
$6 - bag of frozen tilapia fillets, dinner each night
$2- Oatmeal for breakfast each day
$2- PB for oatmeal and snacking
$5- Whatever meat is on sale, if none found, get 6 cans of black/kidney/refried beans to mix together and have for lunch each day.

/fit/ living on the fly.

>>9290123
Come to my place, I'll show you the ropes.

>>9281688
What the fuck is this? The handle alone is like 40 bucks.

>>9294160
$40 handles no longer qualify as cheap. A handle of vodka is $12 at my liquor store and I live in hipster brooklyn

>>9294046
How do you cook your tilapia and chicken anon?

dozen eggs - about $0.48
5lb russet potatoes - $2.47
1lb ground beef - $3.47
20ct flour tortillas - $2.18
refried beans (31oz) - $1.38
frozen corn - $0.99
bananas - $1~
frozen carrots - $0.99
frozen broccoli - $0.99
16oz vegetable oil - $0.98
Remaining $5.07: chicken breasts or thighs. Can get 1-2lbs for this price.

A weeks worth of english muffin pizzas

20$ would barely feed 1 adult for 1 day here.

>>9281688
Fuck dude, even the cheapest, paint-thinneriest, rot-gutiest, shatter-proofiest, bum-nigger-tier vodka I know is like $15 a handle.

>>9281664
couple of organic cranberry juices, couscous, veggies

>>9290146
A bag of rice here is often more than $20

>>9295118
What size of a bag are we talking? That's easily a 15-20lb bag where I live.

>>9282775
Jeb pls go.

>>9281664
This thread is depressing as fuck. In my country a stick of butter is like $4.99. Living on $20 a week is impossible unless you're literally just eating plain potatoes. A handle of vodka is $45+

marmite, pasta, cheddar, eat that to get the calories up then get some fruit, and a bag of frozen chicken thighs and drumsticks and a sauce for them.

2.6kg of rice
750g of frozen vegetables
1.8kg of frozen breaded chicken
Comes in at a little under 20 bucks, easy.

Tilapia- Pan fry on low, 4-5 minutes a side. Put in pan with 1 Tbs olive oil, lemon juice, onion, garlic, and parsely. Never fails, and amazing.

Chicken- I'm a sucker for Asian. I Mariante it in a 2:1:1 mixture of teriyaki:soy suace:worchestershire sauce. beef stock is optional. ginger, garlic, and orental 5 spice is a must, too!
I love Mexican foods as well. To marinate in Mexican: 2 Tbs Olive oil, 3 Tbs cumin, 3 Tbs Chili powder, 1 Tbs Garlic, 1/4 onion, 1 tsp oregano, 1 Tbs paprika per 4 chicken breasts. I think this mix gets really dry, so I'll add broth to the mixture.

>>9295313
What about canned beans?

>$10 worth of vegetables
>$5 worth of rice/beans
>$5 worth of whatever meat is currently cheap

I already eat for about $20 a month. Shits easy when you buy bulk.

A week? That's easy. Go to walmart, buy 8 cardboard tonys pizzas, bam, done. I could also go buy a bag of rice from local asian mart and get some spices and shit but if I just need to survive while I wait for a paycheck or whatever, 20 dollars is a TON of money for a week. I mean shit, if you really want to stretch, that's almost 120 packs of ramen.

>>9282759
Both of those places are more expensive than HEB/Fiesta/Aldi's, too.

>>9295503
don't listen to this guy

you'll starve eating only frozen pizza

>>9295519
for a week? No, you'll do fine. There's around 2000 calories in it. It's not healthy, but it's not going to leave you hungry that's for fucking sure.

>>9281664

Do some nice black beans and rice.

The ingredients for that conservatively total up somewhere around $10 if you're getting fancy. Then grab some eggs, and whatever fruits and vegetables are in season or on sale.

Alternate between beans and rice, eggs over rice with a vegetable side, or fried rice with the leftovers. Fruit for snacks.

This shit's easy. It's basically how I already eat.

>>9295498
>spending $20 on food a month

No, you don't.

>>9295159

What the fuck is your country?

Surely there must be alternatives to this stuff where you are that's cheap. What do the poor people eat:?

>>9281664
Rice, beans, and chicken drumsticks/thighs when they go on sale for 65c per lbs.

A few whole chickens, rice, and cheap veg so I can roast the chicken then use the carcass to make chicken rice porridge.

>>9294174
god fucking damn it 700 ml of vodka is minimum $30 aud

Live in Aus

>$10 = 5L box of wine - that's some of the week sorted
>$5 eggs x 12
>$1 Pasta
>$1 tomato sauce
>$1 broccoli
>$2 as much indomie migoreng as possible

The wine is a deal breaker.

>>9294160
Wow, honestly, today just got a 3.75 litter plastic bottle of shit vodka for $12 American. I made a huge tub of iced tea with lemon and can make myself mixed drinks on the cheap.

>12 pk chicken ramen: $3
>5lbs hot dogs: $5
>wheat bread: $1
>12 eggs: $1
>cereal: $3
>milk: $2
>5lbs potatoes: $2
>butter: $3

I like hot dogs in my ramen, plus hot dogs on bread; hard boiled eggs on toast; cereal ofc; potatoes and eggs cooked in butter. First list I thought of. Not healthy at all, but I usually have enough money to eat well and when I don't, I revert to childhood meals.
