Where to eat cheap

[gibson]

So due to a few fiscally irresponsible decisions iv made recently iv got to eat cheaply for the next few weeks. There’s a Hardee’s right by my house so iv been eating a lot of their 2 for 4 breakfast sandwiches in the morning and their one dollar cheeseburgers from 2-5. Wendys 4 for 4 isn’t an option. The Wendy’s close to me sucks. In the words of my roommate, they have “these are the floppiest motherfucking fries iv ever fucking eaten” Sandwhiches from the grocery store are also on option. I can’t microwave anything due to the microwave being very dirty and the we’re waiting on maintenance to come fix our stove. I won’t eat Taco Bell or Krystal. What do you guys eat when you have to eat cheaply?

boil pasta and eat with ketschup if you still feel too rich

[InsectPoison]

Just buy big pasta bag and pasta sauce and eat that for your meals like somppu said. It will be very cheap and last a while.

Yesh eat rice and pasta, they're cheap

[tedere12]

what I've been eating basically the past couple months is 1 pan pasta with tomato sauce and soya mince. Its basically 1 meal that consists of 1600 calories and around 75 grams of protein in case you are into some sport. Its easy to cook (takes about 30 minutes), and super easy to clean up. Pasta, tomato sauce, soya mince, salt, onions, olive oil is all you need and it costs about 0,8 - 0,85 euro per pan. When you gonna eat cheaply because you are on a budget/don't have time/some other reason I'd suggest to take some multivitamins to fill your daily vitamin and mineral requirements. I'm using optisana to supplement my diet.

God damn I already said I can’t use the stove and the microwave doesn’t work

[deleted_user]

You just decided to spend $50 on a new microwave instead of just cleaning one and now you're asking how to eat cheap?

The microwave doesn't work at all or it's just dirty? If it's the latter, go for Maruchan Yakisoba spciy chicken ramen. You get those for about 80 cents and you don't even need a clean microwave. Or go to a CookOut if you have one where you live.

No iv been unable to buy a new microwave due to other irresponsible purchases

[Vinyanyérë]

Get this rice cooker: https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-Uncooked-Single-Serve-RC503/dp/B016Y8JS4K/ref=lp_678540011_1_8?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1527717805&sr=1-8

It can cook things that aren't rice like pasta and stuff (probably anyway, I've never tried to cook anything other than rice in a rice cooker). What irresponsible things have you purchased?

im not going to put food in that fucking disgusting microwave and I’m not going to clean it on principle. If you want to debate that go to the other thread. I go to cookout occasionally and it’s decent and pretty cheap.

not a bad idea as rice is dirt cheap. I don’t want to say because I will be attacked for my purchases.

Asian food is probably the cheapest in relation to the portions

[gibson]

I can actually buy a rice cooker from my job for 8 bucks

Is thish your way of getting out of your responshiblities?

[gamevideo113]

Bread, beans, vegetables, fruit, water, biscuits, fresh cheese and yogurt are all cheap and require no cooking. Yup, i’m trying to make you turn vegetarian
(Obvioulsy you’ll also need olive oil and salt)

My 10kg bag of rice is still going after 8 months.

What i've learn't from this thread is thatAmerica has way too many different fast food restaurant.

[momuuu]

Ive always thought people in the USA seem to mention fast food places awfully much. I suspect they order or go get premade food more frequently than at least the dutch - there are many people that only order food once a month. Though that could just be esoc's particular population.

If you cant cook you can still eat bread in the morning and afternoon, so that'd be step one of survival. Then I guess salads are reasonably nutricious/cheap as those are basically the best thing you can make without a stove.

We are able to afford getting food from restaurants more due to our significantly higher GDP per capita.

I’m a great cook but I work 30 hours a week and am in school so I’m too lazy

[gamevideo113]

I forgot to mention that fasting is your cheapest option

I might be overgeneralizing but vegetables and healthy food in general are not that affordable in the USA (especially for students) compared to France for example. Americans are quite busy and they don't have time to waste cooking. Fast food chains are definitely not healthier, but they provide the daily calories for about the same price as if you purchased and cooked fresh food.

Dont eat worse, earn more money.
