man i feel for you people.

what would my friends eat if i didnt have their CUP-A-NOODLE after they wake up from a night of partying?

i feed my punk rock friends ramen and cup-a-noodle all the time!!!

rice 1$ for a tunn, mixed in veggies and a bit of soya sauce.

Sugar and butter sandwiches. Thats what I took to grade school. Poor as shit!

ramen, cup a soup, and shitloads of no name pasta + no name pasta sauce.

:thumbsup add butter and it was dessert

Moms always made the dollar stretch
- Tortillas, we always had an hoya (large pot) full of beans = burritos, and tostadas.

- Instant coffee or Kool-Aid (sweetened with sugar packets from the local restaurant)

- Hard boiled eggs with salt

- Quesadillas with mexican cheese

- Grilled cheese, or fried bologna sammys

- French toast with jelly and peanut butter (no syrup)

- Toasty O's when we had milk

- Cream of wheat

- Caldo, a potato and corn stew very bland, sometimes we'd have a soup bone, with more marrow than meat,in it for flavor.

- mac and cheese with hot dogs and catsup (cheap ketchup)

- Raw Ramen, I would eat it crunchy

The purchase of our first microwave was a step up in culinary delites...

- hot Slim Jims (off the ice cream truck)

- Of course I cannot forget sunday meals after church, menudo and tacos.

BTW due to my mothers frugelness she put herself through school and is now a Professor of spanish languages, and latin cultures. Sorry to get all emotional and shit, this post brought up some memories.

you couldn't have been too poor if it was Heinz...the supermarket brand is 9 pence a can!

:eek7

Since we are getting fancy in our poverty...

Egg on top of canned corned beef hash on top of a piece of toast...

Tortilla chips fried with eggs and salsa (known as chilequiles...)

Microwaved sugar daddies and water (I ate that for 2 days straight, before I went to the blood bank and earned $15 bucks.)

Weenie Ramen (ramen with hot dogs, sliced "wahfer thin", water drained out)

Ramen with an egg poached inside.

Ramen or Mac and Cheese with Land o Frost wafer sliced deli meats mixed in.

There's a great website in this concept, whattoeatwhenyourreallyfuckingbroke.com

Definitely Ramen Noodles and PB&J Sandwiches

The garbache at the chinese restaurant

worst i had was Benny's potato soup when i was 18 living in hollywood, the soup was made with milk and potatos and Benny was a shitty cook! those tators were crunchy!

i ate pussy everyday when i was poor

Pussy is good eats :thumbsup

I'm still eating toasts ... that's pretty much it.

I guess I could afford better food but I simply can't cook.

When I used to work in downtown Toronto (pre-porn) my budget for food was like $3-4 a day and money all around was very tight.

I would get buns, sandwich meat, sometimes cheese, fruit and yogurt for all under $3. This would totally fill me up and was actually quite tasty! :thumbsup

When I got home I would 99% of the time have rice and some chicken breasts (if I could afford it).

DH

ramen noodles and lots of cereal

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Just got done eating tuna on crackers, one of my favorites! :thumbsup

.29 Cent Hamburgers for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I spoil myself sometimes and buy a Happy Meal for myself :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

I moved out when I was 16. I lived off of cans of corn and ramen noodles for about two years, then I discovered this biz. Now I eat a whole lot better.

Top Ramen ($0.25) a pack! But shit I still eat that, and I'm not poor!

jDoG

pasta

i just bought some ramen for $0.14 a pack the other day. i just bought a case because i didnt want to bother getting a shopping cart lol. funny thing is it only came to like under $5 and will probably last me over a year.

alot of pasta and I buy in bulk

tonight I had grilled cheese and generic doritos

When I lived with Singapura, she would make onion fried rice - just like she had when growing up so poor they couldn't afford mud pies to play with...

Heh. I have low class tastes. I like Ramen noodles but I'm too lazy to boil them. I'll buy the ones that you can nuke in a cup. Not really a money saver, since they cost more than a regular can of soup. I guess I make a bad poor person.

Top Ramen rocks on a budget.

Boil, and about 20-30 seconds before it's done, toss in a egg, and stir it up.

I tossed in some chopped up green onion too. Here is a tip, cut up a batch of green onion, and then toss all of the unused into a container in the freezer. The stuff lasts this way, so you have it around for the next Ramen day.

Rice and beans (buy dry beans of all kinds in the bag, no canned)

Homemade flour tortillas. Homemade pizza, Homemade bread.
Homemade tamales (for divine breakfasts washed down with coffee)

Lots of potatoes (baked potatoes, homemade french fries, hashbrowns, mashed potatoes)

Eggs. (Egg salad sandwiches, omelettes, scrambled eggs, eggs over easy, eggs over rice, fried rice)
Spaghetti (w/tomato sauce, garlic and olive oil, carbonara)
Grilled cheese sandwiches.


Tea and coffee, Eau d' Faucet

Grew my own salsa garden, too.

WARNING: Be sure to walk five miles a day and do Pilates or Yoga three days a week (get a book at the library don't pay for $200 a session class) so you won't gain a pound on this "survival" diet.

Slutty Wife's :2 cents:

I forgot about oatmeal.

One time I had nothing to eat but a box of cereal and no milk. I was so hungry I added water to the cereal, I started eating it but just couldn't finish. That was some NASTY tasting shit!

:throwup

Toast with sugar sprinkled on it, chicken noodle soup and mac & cheese...with and without cut up hotdogs in it.

That shit is good. :thumbsup

I am currently in college and eating on the extremely low budget scale. Pretty much pasta roni, ground beef, mac n cheese, and chicken on the forman. We try to bbq everyweekend but i spend more money on alcohol than on food.... :/

Heh, now that is low budget by choice. If you cut out the alcohol ya could probably eat out every night:1orglaugh

have to admit that sounds pretty horrid

During the price wars we could pick up a tin of baked beans for 3p
That was a pretty budgeted meal.

ramen, corn beef hash and eggs

I am still poor...:helpme

Just eat at home....

Hamburger w/ cheese $1.50
Chicken Burger $1.50
Chicken breasts w/ Rice $2.50
Spaghetti $1

It's not hard....unless you can't afford $150-200 a month on food

thank god for value brand baked beans..without them british university students would never survive.

Fried Bolonga on Toast With Mayo and Mustard Rocks :thumbsup

gawd...back in my college days, I lived on Ramen Noodles 100%, and even got creative with it:
ramen w/ cajun spices
ramen w/ spaghetti sauce
ramen w/ melted cheese
ramen w/ egg
ramen w/ butter sauce
ramen w/ white cream sauce
ramen w/ soy sauce
ramen w/ red beans
...

Needless to say, I got pretty burnt out on the Ramen noodle front...although, they do taste good so I occasionally boil up a pack for old times sake. :)

KRAFT DINNER! Even if I was rich I'll eat KRAFT DINNER! mmmmmmm

porterhouse or london broil if im really broke... then i hide from the cable guy and sell crack to come up on rent. steak always comes above all else.

kinda sucks sometimes when the plumming gets shut off... smells like a slaughter house in here for weeks.
