- Thread starter Damn Right
- Start date
2 bucks worth of ramen
1 buck wheat bread loaf
3 bucks pound of ham
2 bucks worth of cut chicken breasts (bone in is cheaper, about 1.50 pound)
2 bucks on frozen veggies
Got enough variety that i wouldn't go too nuts and could last probably a week and a half.

lmao@nobody saying water
DOn't mind him, his ass is hungry now, can't read straight waiting on that garden to yield some harvest. Give that man a Snickers or somethin
Cuz tap water will do just fine. Same shit especially if u have a filter like a Brita or Pur to make it takes better.
If you are single it's plausible...

I dont know where some of you all shop at but a "case" of gatorade cost more than some 6 dollars.
I could live off tuna forever if i had to. i would stock up on the tuna when it is like 50 cents a can. Buy the bread on tuesday it is usually buy one loaf get one free on that day. Acme always has some kind of soda/juice for 10 for 10 so i would buy a couple bottles of whatever they had on sale that week. As far as water goes if i only had 10 bucks for groceries i'm not going to waste it on bottled water i'm drinking that shit straight from the tap.

Ya whoever put Gatorade and acting like it's cheap is a goddamn lie...the lil mini (10 oz each) 6-pk cost like $4 doh...and the regular joints cost like $7 for an 8-pk...sometimes you can get the big 32 oz. joints on sales @ some places for like $2 each...you know it's gonna be some lying ass niggas doh talking about they can eat steak shrimp and lobster w/ premium red wine for under $10 doh this is BGOL...
I would go buy a case of water 20 in a pack for about 4 bucks, get a case of Gatorade with the remaining six bucks and hit a busy intersection or high school football game. I'm selling them bitches for a $1 and $2 a piece and flipping that $10 into at least $60.
Oh ok it was this clown ass nigga...
..Get the see-thru bag with 8 of them in it..$5.00
..$1.75
...12 pack $1.50
...$1.75
This is the best one right here....Although I'd just get a regular bag or rice and I could get more even cheaper.
1 pack of hot dogs @ .88
1 loaf a bread @ 1.00
1 Box of ramen noodles @2.00
2 boxes of mac and cheese @ 2.00
1 or 2 lbs of ground beef 4.00
And its a wrap.
On the real tho I'd hit up the local food bank/churches first.

Rice, beans, vegetables (onions, green pepper), maybe a pack of turkey bacon. Make a big ass pot of beans and rice and it'll last for a few days.
This lady has a menu with the recipes how to feed a family of four for $45 a month. She even includes the shopping list with the prices beside it.

Great shit...where ppl spend/lose money is on all that fuckin microwave/processed food (and beer)...that list is "outdated" btw...they saying that was prices in '06...but shit $70 for a month is still incredible...I spend that in a week most times...
For four people, it is pretty cool. A lot of manpower to prepare the meals though. Another good one is http://www.e-mealz.com/index.shtml . I haven't used it, but I heard a lot of good things about it. I've had some steak from someone that picked up a box at Angel Foods, and OMG that was the most tender steak I've ever had

I will check that out...thanks...
Back when I first got my apartment (and ate meat) This is what I did:
Wait until late in the day and buy a Rotisserie chicken. They have to get rid of the leftover ones to make room for the fresh ones, so I could cop a decent sized one for about $2.00. (less if you could convince dude to mark it down more)
Two bottles of Pathmark apple juice. $1.50 a piece = $3.00
One bag of mixed vegetables: $1.00
One large can of potatoes: $1.25
a dollars worth of Ramen noodles: $1.00
Grand total $8.25 (before tax..but thank GOD I have a Pathmark card.)
Now that I'm vegan, I would substitute the chicken for beans and brown rice and a head of cabbage or spinach for the Ramen noodles.

And if you know some elderly that needs well balanced meals and are too weak to prepare them

Hell yeah.
Me, I would get:
2 2lb bags of pinto beans/black beans = $3
1 pack of smoked turkey necks or drums = $2.50
1 2lb bag of rice = $2
8 bags of top ramen from the dollar store = $2
I can drink ice water or make some green tea from my pantry
I have 0.50cent left over for a pack of gum
Hit the free store for a bag of fruit.
I'm good for ten days............
Great thread by the way OP.
Oh shit. She bodied everybody. She paid for $153 of groceries with a $10 and got change back. Her coupon game is serious.

It's been proven that bottled water is the same as tap. It's be like wiping your ass with $1.19
I haven't had to resort to buying food on a microbudget in years. But from what I remember the spaghetti route is the best route. You can do a lot with meat sauce (ground beef with tomato sauce). You can put it on bread and have a manwich or if you are tired of pasta you can put it over rice.
Man, I remember making big pots full of of spaghetti and meat sauce ( I used to mix it all together) that would feed me lunch and dinner for over a week.
