Anyone bulking on a budget? What are your tips? I'm trying

>>40577621
I usually spend about $300 on food each month and end up throwing a quarter of it away because I like eating out.

ground beef and rice is super cheap and easy. I recently discovered tuna and ramen which has to be the best ratio of dollars to macros I've ever seen

I'm on a poverty spec diet so nothing but chic peas , eggs and veggies. Also loads and loads of tahini .

$100 a month is pretty tough. I was spending that much eating mostly ramen every day. Some cheap foods are eggs, rice and oats though

> oats
> rice
> beans
> potatoes (especially)
Just look into staple foods and don't fall for memes, eg. buying Whole Foods over-priced rice vs normal grocery store rice

I tried this for a few days last month, I don't know how you can stomach it. I got really bad acid reflux and I felt like I was gonna puke. There's just too much sodium for me

If you're bulking on that tight of a budget, you should do two things: learn to bake bread, and shop the sales at your local grocery stores obsessively.

As a turbo-poorfag you're going to have to make some hard choices to hit your budget (bread), even if people here will scream like a special ed class with a few hornets in it. $1.75 can get you 5 lb of store-brand all-purpose flour, and packets of yeast are like $0.33 each at most. With a tiny bit of sugar to start the yeast, salt, water, and power included, you're looking at a maximum of $1.50 for a loaf for bread that tastes much better than similarly priced shit you can get from grocery store. Kneading will be a light workout too, especially if you're mixing up dough for four loaves at once. Rice takes less time to prepare, but generally costs more per kcal and doesn't freeze as well.

As to the grocery store, shop the sales. And get a crockpot. You can often leave those on overnight with no risk of fire, and wake up to delicious food. Chicken under $1/lb? Buy as much as you can freeze it, defrost and use as needed. Then you can slow-roast in the crockpot or make thick stews. Or just roast the meat in an oven if you're pressed for time, or microwave if you lean that way. Also look for deals on eggs. I can find a dozen eggs for under a dollar in some places.

You can also strain and save left-over bacon grease more easily if you bake it in an oven. It makes for a good but bacon-scented frying grease.

Fuck isn't tahini full of estromemes though?

go to stores with a self checkout lane and just key in the codes of food that looks like what your scanning, but is cheaper. Also go to the bulk food aisle and stock up and key it all in as flour or white rice. I've done this for years.

It has protein and very little of anything else. Consider it the mustard of spreads.

I'm a cook so I'm always broke. Thankfully I can stuff my face all fucking night, and take home food as well. Beef, chicken, fish and pork that's under portioned, veggies, pasta and bread that falls off of the rotating menu items or specials.

Hell you can just keep the yeast alive and make a culture to save more money

Cottage Cheese.
About 40p in my country.
Probably less in yours.
