Grilled Cheese

i get these little ghetto pizzas in a yellow box.. they're 2 for a dollar.

Lets see, today I had a scrambled egg with a slice of cheese topped with a lot of hunger pangs. Tomorrow I may go all out and get some vienna sausages to add to my instant mac. I get to pick the sausages up from lay-away so I'll party like it's 1999! Wait, I was even more poor then! :helpme

Ramen with Tabasco sauce :thumbsup

I can still smell the sweet aroma of balogna sizzling on a hot plate.

For me it was a head of lettuce and a can of tuna. Canned beans.

And balogna quesodilla's fresh off the hotplate...

Man I miss being homeless.

when I was poor I couldn't supersize my mcdonald's meal. I couldn't even afford the meal, I had to order from their $1 menu.

Twice Baked Ramen (fried ramen)

eggo waffles with salsa

Whoa whoa whoa, what's wrong with blowing truckers for candy bars??!!

Interesting. Is that like the Asian version of Refried beans?

Pasta. Water. Pita and cottage cheese or someshit.

Pussy




Rip

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.
