You're not poor. You're just a lazy tastelet.

>>12293821
If I'm buying really cheap and lazy, all I need is my 22 - 24 pack of supermarket brand snags.

Add in a couple loaves of bread and a bottle of tomato sauce and that could be dinner for up to a week.

>>12293821
Lángos
It requires flour, water, yeast, a pinch of salt and sugar and some vegetable oil to fry.
Topping (sour cream and cheese) is optional, it's good on its own or with a mixture of mashed garlic, a bit of water and salt.

>>12295018
do you not cook them in different ways anon

deep fried dildos

>>12295362
That would require extra effort.

I don't just do bread and tomato sauce though. I often like using a slightly sweet hot sauce on them. Definitely can't go wrong with some vindaloo.

>>12295357

Dry white beans (usually either Cannelini or Great Northern beans) cooked with peppered fat back, garlic, onion, and spices

San Francisco style garlic noodles (extremely easy and cheap, and fucking delicious)

Ranch beans (pinto beans cooked with seasonings, beef or pork fat, tomato paste, and vinegar) with cornbread

Coleslaw (extremely cheap to make a large batch, and gets you all your vegetable needs)

Cabbage soup (cabbage, onion, carrots, garlic, tomato, broth or water, seasonings and herbs)

Lentil soup

Red beans and rice

Refried beans and rice with Rajas and tortillas

Baked potatoes, stuffed with all kinds of things. You'd be surprised as how many different things taste great in a baked potato.

Potato soup

Those are all just off the top of my head. I've spent the majority of my life until fairly recently being pretty poor (a few years ago, I finally reached what would be called a great salary), so I've explored all kinds of poor foods. I'm an expert at the "no waste" cooking style.

>>12293823

How to make cheaper pizza, /poor/? Cheese costs are killing me, is there a way to make a cheeseless 'za that still satisfies? Or a way to trick my brain into not realizing I've used way too little cheese

>>12298014
What are you using now?

>>12298030
Norwegian cheese, which only comes in a non-starvation tier price range

B-but they don't sell that here

>>12298060
Is this legit? what beans?

>>12298152
I would use kidney beans or maybe red beans.

>>12298014
You could use
>sour cream
>strained yogurt (you put a coffee filter in a strainer, and let the yogurt sit for several hours, which will make it very thick)
>like that other anon said, bean paste. I'd use white beans like Cannellini beans or Great Northern beans, and puree them till smooth with some olive oil, roasted garlic, salt, and pepper
>tofu "ricotta" it's super easy to make, cheap as shit, and you can easily look up a recipe for it online. I've used it before (when my doctor had me on an elimination diet for allergies) and it was fucking good.

What's the end result like? How long do I oven it for and how do I know it's done?

I love it with cheese and garlic oil.

>>12300421
> what the fuck is this shit?

Paragraphs of bullshit blogposting before the actual recipe. Not just obnoxious, but also an enormous red flag for the recipe itself. I may know to avoid the first results on google, but I don't know where I'm supposed to look instead, so I'm hoping that >>12297708 pulls through.

Hey, it's me. San Francisco garlic noodles historically sprung up in the areas around Chinatown and Little Italy in SF, because they're right next to each other. The recipe is fucking so simple, and tastes fucking awesome. It's usually served with chili crab or salt and pepper crab, or salt and pepper shrimp or chili shrimp:
It's basically this:
>bring water to boil, and cook 1 lb either spaghetti, linguini, or fresh asian noodles
>in a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Maggi or Knorr "Seasoning Sauce" (don't skip it), 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 2 teaspoons coconut or brown sugar
>meanwhile, melt around 4-6 tablespoons butter in a small pan and add 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Let the garlic slowly simmer in the butter, don't let it brown. Once the garlic is cooked and fragrant, add your combined sauces
>drain noodles (reserve a bit of the pasta water)
>mix the noodles with the garlic butter-sauce mixture and toss the pasta well over low heat.
>finally, add a couple tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese (this is crucial) and just a bit of the pasta water and toss well
>you can also top with some minced scallion if you like.

>>12301273
>oil
>sour cream
>cheese
>cheap
no

>>12293821
Fuck yeah. Try getting smoked ribs as a ham replacement, they cost pennies, they make for a fantastic stock and you can usually shred a good amount of meat off them after cooking. Add potatoes, add garlic, add bell peppers, or add nothing, it's god tier on its own.

I'm poor, but I still waste more than 20% of my salary on food, which includes ordering pizzas and other extremely overpriced delivery food (to eat on weekends).

The only thing I know how to cook is instant ramen and microwave food, which I eat for dinner on work days. :)

>>12301959
do you also season with extra water? That usually brings out the flavor

>>12301959

Beans on toast.
Popularised in the UK in WW2 and still popular with many in the UK today.
Not from a poor family or lifestyle but I still love beans on toast.
Toast+butter(optional)+hot baked beans and other optional ingredients like cheese, bacon etc

Most people in this shithole eat this everyday and not get bored they even miss when not eat it, specially poor people.

>>12302110
People here take so seriously rice and beans that eat beans with bread or noddles is the ultimate heregy, I particularly like noddles with beans.

>>12301649
Yeah, this recipe looks way more legit than the one on google with the multi-paragraph blog beforehand. Copied, pasted, will try next weekend. Thanks bro.

>>12302110
I'm Canadian, but my dad is from Manchester england. I grew up thinking this was perfectly normal! I'll still do this from time to time, in the toaster oven with a slice of cheese melted on top, if I'm feeling particularly tired/lazy after a long shift. I've gotten a few wtf reactions from roommates over the years, but I tell them, if you ever eat kraft dinner or instant ramen, you have no right to judge me and my beans on toast.

>>12302164
Speaking of beans, does anyone have a good, simple recipe for proper poorfag rice and beans? I'll defend my beans on toast, but sometimes I just heat up a can of beans and pour it over rice, and I know that's indefensible.

>>12293821
you are not poor if you can afford meat

>>12302269
Oh, and on the SF garlic noodles, you probably won't need to add extra salt, but definitely add some black pepper, I forgot to type that. Hope you enjoy it, it's super fast, cheap and easy to make, and tastes savory and awesome.

>>12302269
Fry some garlic, maybe onion, maybe a spice such cumin or even fry some sausages and put the beans in it.

>>12295357
>Lángos
its fucking delicious

>>12302015
These noodles are honestly really good, and at $1 each you can't go wrong.

I like to cut up one red birds eye chili, a few cloves of garlic, simmer in a saucepan with a bit of chili oil, then add some fish sauce and a pinch of sesame oil. Then add about 1/3 of the seasoning packet. Tastes really fuckin good.

>>12302269
Beans on toast is fucking good. I'm not even a bong, or even close to being a bong (unless you count the fact that my great-grandfather's family migrated here from Wales). I can buy Heinz beans at nearly every grocery store here (NorCal), and so it's become a staple pantry food. I like to add a little Worcestershire sauce and put some cheese on top, if I have cheese. Perfect poorfag food, and even now that I'm not poor anymore, I still like for breakfast. Beans are a highly underrated breakfast food.

>>12293821
oh man, haven't had this in a while but I've also never been upset to eat it.

Full English breakfast is good but it's not too healthy and also not cheap. I never have it since it's too much food for me.

>>12293821
spag bol is another good one. Just cook alot and you'll have enough food for yourself for a while or your companions for a night. Tastes good too. Best with pasta & garlic bread if its available.

>>12302164

ham hocks + beans + onion + hot pepper
Fancy it up as you have the time/money. Smoked ham hocks. Add tomato. Add bell pepper. Add herbs. Pickle hot peppers with other stuff and use the juice. Reduce apple juice with hot peppers and use as a sauce.

elbow macaroni and cheapest ground meat (usually pork-beef mix, more pork than beef)

>>12305444
Not that guy but I just bought a ham hock. Do you boil it first? To make stock and all that

>>12305513
You can to make it more refined. Beans will typically add a liqueur to the base that will condemn your efforts at a refined base, though. There are other steps you can take to make a refined base, but then you're really getting into haute cuisine, and out of the realm of poorfag unless you really have that much time and an abundance of ingredients to spare on a whim. Personally, I just make sure it is trimmed how I like, and let it stew.

>milk

>sour cream

You small poors need to stop shaming larger poors. You shouldn't flaunt your dairy affording privilege in a safe space like this, it's incredibly triggering.

>>12309099
>almost no energy per currency
A gallon of whole milk is 2380 Calories and about $2-3 where I live
>no opinion
You should fix that, there's plenty of things it's great with
>not cheap
Some things are worth an extra dollar or two, anon, and a baby loaf of cheese lasts me a good while unless it's for a specific recipe.

I like a tomato soup. Had this today with some leftover veggies I had in the fridge. I bought a package of cherry tomatoes for 99 cents and used about ten of them for the base (plus browned two tablespoons of tomato paste). Then I add water and chicken bouillon to make it more of a soup. Cook this with the vegetables and red pepper flakes to spice it up a little.

>>12295511
Actually, we do have something really similar here in the States, that some Injuns came up with after they got stuck on a reservation - fry bread. Though it usually uses baking powder instead of yeast for the leavening. Works well with taco-style fixings on top. Its something you see at fairs a lot, though is uncommon elsewhere.

>>12293821
for me its eggs and beans or a bologna sandwich with mustard and mayo

I get a lb of ground turkey for $2.50, brown it and add an onion, serano peppers, and a handfull of rice then let it simmer.

Don't forget - you can buy house brands of food, Walmart, Kroger, etc ... and bring back the package w the reciept for a no questons asked refund. ... I ate this way for month on end. One time I was given a little grief by the lady at the service desk, and jsut said I was going to go through each product and see if it stood up to the national brand

>>12293821
that's delicious and cheap. salt pork and dry beans don't take long and it's creamy delicious. gotta eat some corn with it somehow for that complete protein. tortillas, on the cob, sweet corn with queso and tajin.

pic related is my po food. roast chuck in ramen.

I don't know what it is but there is just something really satisfying about black beans and white rice. Whenever I don't know what to eat, I eat black beans and white rice. It's a good decision every time.

How many of you "poor" "people" waste your money on stupid shit like booze/drugs/cigs/fast food/gasoline? When I was living below the poverty line I only had $30/week for food and I ate like a king compared to half you people. Or do you just have no idea how to cook at all? Why are you even here?

>>12309889
I eat a lot of butter. I don't know if I'm going to die or something, but I eat fairly simple food and without adding fat to my diet I'd probably starve. Decent, but small 3-4oz steak, whole head of broccoli, 25g of butter and some smoked salt, glass of vodka. Maybe a small piece of bread, a pan fried fish and lemon wedge, half a bottle of red wine. 3 egg omelette cooked in butter, spring onions mixed leaf salad, some grapes, bourbon on the rocks.

You would literally be like ... why the fuck does this dude eat two sticks of butter a month. He gon die.

>>12309989
It is hard work being poor. I used to be a bit of a faggot who'd preach to the lads at work about how they should buy in bulk, cook meals ahead of time, use up leftovers and so on. Think of the money they'd save. Half of these poor suckers haven't got much of a kitchen. Maybe one pan, no decent knife or a chopping board. I'm trying to tell them how to save a few bucks by buying several hundred in equipment first. Some of them don't even have light bulbs in parts of the house, they share houses with alcoholics, drug addicts. Honestly being able to do well when poor still relies on a bunch of stability, experience and privilege. They say shit like they don't like to eat much because it makes them feel sick. They prefer to smoke cigarettes most of the time. Gasoline? I road a bike to work and back for over 15 years so yeah, crippling yourself financially to run a car doesn't make sense, but it is like a sunk cost fallacy, you've got to understand the mindset. When you are stressed, short of time, you are used to using a car, you don't seek to change something outside of the box. When the weather is bad, you are wet, cold, getting rained on, you remember how bad getting the bus was. You keep a car going even though it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Ham and bean soup? You had ham and bean soup? Lucky. We used to wake up at 3am in the morning five hours before we had gone to bed lick the road clean then have a bowl of broken glass for our one meal a year.

>>12310165
Yeah, people who waste their money while being poor are idiots, more at 11. That was my whole point. Also you don't need to buy several hundred dollars in equipment, you can get enough secondhand knives and pots and pans for a whole kitchen for less than $20 usually.

>>12303523

>>12295514
How far are you from potential jobs? I walked six hours a day to and from my job when I was too poor for a bus fare. You only have to put up with it for a short time. (Or just nig it up and steal a bike)

>>12294524
You're not poor if you can afford this much butter for a single fucking meal.

>>12309989
Eating poor people food is good for saving money

>>12293821
Not kidding, here is a great ham and bean soup recipe Ilearned from my german heritage ancestors.
>1 lb white beans (navy or great northern) soaked overnight
>1 Tbs garlic
>1 cup onions
>1 cup carrots
>1 cup celery
>1 lb smoked pork hock or a hambone
>dump everything into the soaked beans and simmer for 3-4 hours topping up if water gets low.
>season with salt and pepper toward the end.

Shit is goat.

>>12294524
What the fuck is that?

>>12293821
>for me, its ham and bean soup
For me it was soup kitchen food. Which is funny because they served smoked salmon, beef casseroles, pasta dishes, cakes and fruit. I ate better than when I was in my "poor but still buying my own food" phase.
The bitch screaming about how meat is murder even had vegan options.

>>12310484
You need at least 4 pots and two pans though and a few knives otherwise you have to wash that shit every fucking day rather than on Sundays, and who the fuck wants to do that?

I've been making bean burgers because it's like a little over a dollar for 4-5 pretty good burgers. Highly reccomend trying black bean or kidney bean burgers, and it's easy to prep too.

Speaking of, anybody have any good bean burger recipes? I've been toying with what I put in it and I'm thinking of putting a little carrot and bell pepper for some extra flavor not from the beans and sauce. Thoughts?

Stop calling them burgers

>>12298014
Vegan here, so cheeseless is my thing. I usually try to put a lot of flavor into the sauce. Tons of herbs and spices. Caraway and/or anise perk it up a lot imo (anise is more pricey than caraway though)

Nutritional yeast is great for a flavor substitute, but be sure to put it on AFTER cooking. Roasted yeast also tastes good, but if a cheesy taste is what you're going for, put it on after.

I've never tried it, but supposedly blended up potatoes + carrots + nutritional yeast and some spices make a good cheese sauce you could use, though I've mostly heard it be used for nachos.

You could always skip the substitute entirely and just load it up with a ton of veggies, which is my usual go-to with it and even my non-veg family and friends love it.

>>12312774
Apple burgers are pretty good. Take a granny smith apple, cut it in two halves, toast some bread, stick those apple slices in between and you got yourself a solid apple burger.

>>12302285
Truer words have never been said.

When I was homeless, a bowl of oats was a godsend. I remember one time I used some worcestershire sauce to make some oats to taste "meat-y" for spaghetti. Honestly not too bad.

>>12308447
I'll fix what that anon said
>you're not literally dying of starvation to the point of eating dirt, so you're not poor

i love beans and cornbread, but i feel like sometimes it doesn't come out right. maybe it's just my mood at the time. i can be bipolar. my idea of a poor food is something that pleases **no matter what**. if i have $10 to my name, i can't be cooking something that i'm going to look at with that same disgust you get after busting your nut. that shame you feel when you were horny and rubbed it out to something really filthy. the next day i'm going to be staring at those beans in the refrigerator and wishing i hadn't put all my eggs in one basket. now i'm stuck eating this shit for the next 3 days! fuck! also, leftovers just don't have the same appeal to me. reheating food is such a depressing exercise.

so with that in mind, my poor foods would be things like grilled cheese sandwiches (if i can afford it, some scrambled egg is good cheap protein to throw on there), fried bologna sandwiches, baked potatoes, box of muesli and a jug of milk, canned buttermilk biscuits and homemade sausage gravy, hamburger steaks (if i can afford ground beef) with a box of macaroni and cheese (poor man's Salisbury steak dinner), peanut butters and crackers, etc.

Otherwise making a stock is somewhat defeated. I mean you can, but it's it's not typical to do so. A hock or two with a little trimmings left on after having roasted or smoked some ham is typically what is used. If you're buying raw ham bones from the store, then yeah, go for it.

Sorry coastie roastie, butter flows like tears from your liberal cheeks in civilized parts of the US.

Some say that I am very lucky. I say, God has been very merciful to me. I am not rich, but I am not poor either (yet) so I get to eat well. When I economize, I prepare rice and beans and depending on the budget, i add bacon and eggs. I also add whatever peppers I have to the beans. I love black beans and I eat them occasionally regardless of the economy. I am not sure there is any other food that is as affordable, well-tasting and healthy at the same time as rice and beans.

If I had to start over, I'd get a rice cooker, a 4 quart pot, universal steaming basket, a small cutting board and Chef's knife, and a 9-10" cast iron skillet. I'd use the pot as a bowl (for soaking beans overnight, for example).

>rice and beans -- rice cooker and 4 quart pot
>steak and baked potato -- cast iron skillet and oven rack (free)
>pan-seared chicken, beef or pork, steamed veg, and rice -- rice cooker, 4 quart pot with steaming basket, and cast iron skillet
>beans and cornbread -- 4 quart pot and cast iron skillet
>sausage links and eggs -- cast iron skillet (cook sausage, remove, fry an egg) and you could also steam the sausages if you want to par-cook them
>chili -- 4 quart pot
>macaroni and cheese -- 4 quart pot and strain with the lid slightly ajar or just cook out all the water
>chili mac, hamburger helper, sloppy joes, etc. -- 4 quart pot
>soups -- 4 quart pot
>grilled cheese sandwiches, hamburgers, patty melts, quesadillas, etc. -- cast iron skillet
>brats and steamed potatoes -- cast iron skillet and steaming basket/4 quart pot

It's really all you need. You could ditch the steaming basket and rice cooker, but I really, really like setting the timer on my rice cooker and coming home to freshly-cooked rice. All I've got to do when I come home is put some vegetables in the steamer and sear a piece of meat. Dinner is done in like 20 minutes with clean-up -- tops. I don't care how poor I was, I would put back $5/month for a rice cooker for a year. It's just too nice to have. Now if I couldn't even afford $1/month to put away, then yeah, I wouldn't bother with it. I'd get another 4 quart pot. But rice cookers without timers can be had for <$20. On Black Friday, you can get one for $10. And Tiger makes a good Zojirushi alternative that's in the $60 range and $5/month would get you there eventually. The Tiger has a steaming basket up top so that will save you from having to buy a separate one.

Huge pots of soup that you can freeze are good. You can throw almost anything in soup, and you can fill it full of cheap ingredients. Rice doesn't freeze well in my experience, so you make that as a side fresh

You toast the middle bread, which is wholemeal bread, put some butter on both sides of it, salt and pepper. It's actually a really good sandwich and pretty filling.

>It's actually a really good sandwich and pretty filling.

It's not a sandwich because it doesn't contain meat, cheese, fruit, or a vegetable, but I imagine cramming three slices of bread down your gullet would indeed be filling.

>>12294151
You've never had a chicken salad sandwich?

It's like that. You can also sear it up in a pan if it's still bothering you.

>>12315708
I could see it being more palatable if you get the spaghettios with the weenies in them. At least you're getting a Beans and Weiners hybrid then.

>>12295514
Literally no. if you are in the US you have no excuse for not having an entry level manual work job.

>>12316909
This can be true in America depending on where you're at and the trouble you're willing to go to. I wish there were more options, though.

Last Thanksgiving I was so hungry at my moms house because of the smells and skipping breakfast I ate out my niece while my sis was out hiking.

What would you poorfags eat if you had a budget of $1000 usd/mo for food?

>>12311031
he's bragging about being cost-efficient with a limited budget, retard. do you not have reading comprehension skills?

>>12318713
Mostly the same only a couple of other shit for health. Good food doesn't need to be expensive, I'd rather use the extra cash for something else

>>12318732
The question is more geared towards how you would improve your cooking. I know most people with not so much money would rather pocket most of the next 1000 they make, but im just curious from the perspective of a former poorfag who said the same thing, yet now spends way more than i used to as my income creeped up. I used to make things like ramen w veg and some cheap meat, macaroni noodles with canned tuna with butter and pepper (it's actually eatable,) and pork cabbage and onion stir fry.

Now i make good money, and my habits have changed, but not by a whole lot. Ramen turned into proper soups and stews, tuna noodles turned into canned sockeye salmon noodles (it's so much better and just as lazy,) and the stir frys now have more vegetables. When i have free time ill cook bbq briskets, ribs, etc.

Before someone says affording meat isnt poor, I'm in Canada and pork is cheaper than vegetables.

>>12318869
Fair enough. I'd mostly be upgrading the quality of my ingredients, same as you, and buy stuff that's better for the environment and so on. Though a lot of it would still be the same I imagine, you can't really upgrade an onion that much and fuck premade meals. Healthier cuts, more seafood, less bullshit packaging, less processed meat, and good god some decent cheese. I miss the cheeses so much anons, it's not fair.

Needs some chorizo or lard. Much better.

>>12318713
Pocket the extra 950

>>12318713
Just limit yourself to local produce. Textured Vegetable Protein, Tofu, Canned fish, Beans, Cottage Cheese, Potato, Noodles and Rice would put you down only about 200 a month. Use all the remaining money for fresh fruit and veggies. Apples are usually dirt-cheap, as are carrots, onions and all the standard fare. Nothing exotic, instant, snacks, or soft drinks.

cabbage tacos

>>12310985
I never said those noodles had to be eaten with shrimp or crab, Zippy. I was just giving the info on their background and how they're served. They taste fucking great by themselves, and many people eat them by themselves all the time. Try some reading comprehension.
