/ck/ - Food & Cooking

29 dollars can last you a month in food. Just get rice and beans

>>12604246
>enough for about 55 pounds of carrots
I could do it, but I wouldn't like it.

More seriously, root vegetables and dried beans would be your friends. Frozen berries and veg for nutrients those don't cover. Set aside a few bucks each week to build up some generic spices so you don't sudoku over the bland food. Get chicken when it's cheap.

7 Limes

>>12604246
Individually, and with transportation, I'd struggle. That's $13 less than my current budget.

inb4 y'all hee haw at one lime a day

>>12604274
looks like I was too late. Are you forgetting people eat food every day? Is that why I need to go to a warehouse store for just myself?

>>12604246
Safeway is such shit how does that place even stay in business

>>12604283
Dollar-to-pound, seven limes is very wasteful on this budget (unless they're in season and she's in the south, and then they're like $0.15 a piece and she still doesn't need 7, she could cut it down to 3 and have half of one each day). She'd be better off with something like a serrano to spice up the beans and rice with, which are about $0.07 a pop. Should also cut out the avacado and replace that with a pound of either carrots or potatoes. Possibly more than that depending on how far north she is.

>>12604274
you know a lime is like 15 cents right?

>>12604246
I could make a fuck ton of stew that would easily last me a week with 29 dollars.

If you can't afford a family why have one?

>>12604246
My god what a cunt she is. Maybe if she went to another "grocery store" that isn't her hipster gluten-free fairtrade hand-picked eggs from happy hens bathed in coconut milk twice a day with limes flown in from that one remote village in the deepest Amazonas forest, maybe then she would realize that yeah, $29 a week is not enough to feed a family, if you feed on truffles and Iranian caviar.

>>12604246
At my local grocery store I could buy 40 chicken thighs and a bag of rice with $29.

>>12604315
they cost a dollar each where I live

>>12604246
Rice, beans, potatoes, milk. Done.

>>12604246
wow, why the fuck should I work if I could get all that for free? It's easily a week's eating for a family. Seriously where's the incentive to earn my keep if the gov't just gave me that for existing.

>>12604246
>>12604356
this. if you're too poor to afford getting meat too often go for dried bags of beans and lentils. so many filling and cheap dishes can be made from combinations of beans, lentils, potatoes, onions, cabbage, and rice with a few rudimentary spices and other ingredients that can be picked up one at a time with each trip to the store. people on stamps are literally retarded (don't know how to spend their money)

>>12604246
I have gotten both less than that and more than that. Is saying a family of 12 only gets $29/week? Or that 1 person gets $29/week, so that a family of 4 gets $116/week?

When I had to go on food stamps to help support my ailing parents, we counted as a family of 3, and at first we got $80/month. After 6 months and a lot of complaining, the African-American people in charge upped it to $300/month. That comes out to

first 6 months:
>$20/week for 3 people, or $6.66 per person

after complaining
>$75/week for 3 people, or $25 per person

Anyhow, it only lasted for a year. I can't imagine any one having an emergency like my family had (million dollar bankruptcies after getting defrauded by insurance company so small biz goes belly-up, and mom has a heart attack with no insurance) and the struggle lasting that long. We bounced back and live comfortably now, 5 years after.

And no, we didn't live on black beans, limes, and garlic cloves. You learn to eat a lot of baloney sandwiches and ramen with eggs. You also learn to love drinking water. Also, we could stretch spaghetti bolognese for like 5 days.

Years later this image still triggers me.

>>12604246
of course, this is like the easiest Nazi Meth challenge ever

Most of the meat eating neanderthals here can't even handle a fresh vegetable, let alone actually cook. Budgeting like a sensible human is way out of their league.

>>12604399
It's not fine dining and you won't be bulking but you'll survive. You can even sneak eggs in every once in a while.

>>12604399

She went to Safeway, of course that's all she could get. Safeway is the most expensive grocery store in town, not counting Whole Foods. Why didn't she go bargain shopping, like poor people actually do? Oh, that's right, she doesn't know how to do anything normal......

>>12604354

She definitely is a massive cunt but reread. Maybe you’re tired or you’re a bit slow mentally, but all gonna make it bro.

>>12604246
>makes the wellfare dish be Mexican themed
#cancelgoop when?

>>12604246
No limes, no cilantro, no avocado. Actual bulk bags of rice and beans. Easy.

>>12604246
I spend 25$ on food a week and I'm happy and satisfied.

>>12604698
>not growing your own cilantro in a window box
>not stealing all your fruit from branches that overhang from peoples yards
>not driving out to a cornfield at night and filling up a box with ears of corn once a week during the summer
>not picking up all the stuff that's one day expired from the back of grocery stores.
I swear only retards and junkies starve. I could eat on a dollar a day or less if I put my mind to it.

>>12604712
where do you live that has corn, fruit and sales at the grocery store?

>>12604460
You should make a "GRUG!" comment right now. Really show 'em.

>>12604712
Well not all of us can be niggers

>>12604274
forget it, it's summer now, let the newfags have their fun

>>12604315
That's still a dollar, could buy like 5 pounds of flour for that and make a ton of bread.

>>12604722
Central California valley. Nature provides.
>>12604728
Watch out anon your stirrups look a little loose you might fall off that high horse. Tbqh most people don't even approach going through all the fruit on their trees. People are fucking throwing apricots, plums, and peaches at me left and right right now cuz otherwise they just rot and the birds will get them. And don't even get me started on citrus that shit stays good on the tree forever and birds don't get it but it will fall once in a while and nobody EVER wants to eat a trees worth of grapefruit or oranges especially if they have more than one which people do. I was kinda baiting with the steal thing because most of the time I just get em for free and people usually let you take a few if you ask but you can always just snag a shirtfull and nobody would even notice.

>>12604274

>>12604460
B-but vegetables are a socialist, gombunist, athiest, libruhl conspiracy to contaminate precious bodily fluids.

>>12604754
This. Sac Valley representing. People are always bringing their extra fruit from the trees in their yards to the office for people to take, and I always bring home loads. You can go for a walk and find fruit tree branches hanging over on to the sidewalk or even in empty lots and just pick it and keep on walking. And yeah, all the stores around here will bag up the one day expired stuff that's still perfectly good and sell it for a buck or less. People make fun of how expensive it is to live here, but I guarantee we have the lowest fruit and veg prices in the country. That's probably one reason why we have so many vegetarians here (I don't count vegans, because they have a mental illness), because it's so damn cheap to live on fruits and vegetables and grains here.

>>12604782
Its quite comfy. One of the things that keeps me living here despite the general direction of the state. I'm working on figuring out how to do a full on homestead where I make most things I eat and maybe do a CSA thing to fund it. Ship it out online etc.

Two things
1.) I don't pay income taxes
2.) Being mad about immigrants is pretty stupid.

The most annoying migrants to California are all the liberals who come out here for tech, college, and memes. Most Hispanic immigrants are culturally conservative Catholics that republicans are too stupid to pander to.

>>12604354
don't forget, SNAP is

So you don't have a meaningful job or any job at all, and also you willingly live in a clown world.

>not putting all of your income in non taxable assets and using them as collateral for low interest loans
Lmao. Triggered rightists and leftists are always people who can't figure out how to play the game. Another way to not to pay income tax:
>having your own farm or business and showing little or no personal income but justify most living expenses as business expenses

Being a wagie with an income ain't where its at.

$29 dollars for a weeks worth of food? Well, luckily for me I live near a Dollar Tree. I can get a 3-pack of chicken thighs, a couple bags of rice, a box of milk, a bag of frozen mixed veggies, a can of spaghetti sauce, and some spaghetti and still have enough money to carry over into next week. If I'm feeling fancy I might even treat myself to one of those shitty $1 "ribeye" steaks that they sell.

I could live just fine on 20$ per week and I live in a state with high cost of living

it amazes me how stupid poor people can be

>>12604246
I've been living off of $20 CAD a week for food for the past 8 months.
I would thrive with that much holy shit

>a SUPPLEMENTAL assistance program for people who've somehow fucked up their lives so hard that they can't even manage to provide for themselves without government help like everyone else doesn't give you enough free money to buy all your favorite foods
Who would have thought?

one lime for each day of the week. smart woman, she thinks ahead

>>12604399
or you could buy fourteen 12 packs of eggs.

>>12604246
Costco chicken lasts me about 3 days per bird so 2 of them for $10 then $19 dollars to spend on rice and lentils I suppose. Doesn't seem to hard to me

>>12604263
Every time I look at cost difference between frozen berries and fresh berries, fresh are the better deal. I'm in Las Vegas though, so in certain parts of the country and rest of the world frozen could be cheaper.

>>12604283
I buy fresh limes and lemons for certain things but always have several bottles of 100% lemon and lime juice in the pantry. The bottles cost $3 each for over 1 liter of pure juice. Meanwhile two lemons cost me $1 at the best minimum prices.

>>12605442

Suplimental, not all you can eat.

>>12604354
also nobody uses only SNAP to buy food.

>hey mom, whats for dinner?
> SHUTUP AND EAT YOUR LIME!!!

Easily, food banks also exist and will give you a shit ton of food.

>>12604917
Ahh,

>>12604246
Yes because typically you're supposed to be working a shitty job and SNAP makes up the difference. A target SNAP family would usually have $80/wk without SNAP.
$29 is a good amount of money for a week regardless as long as you shop smart, I've ate comfortably on less.
When I still lived at home my mom got about $400/month in food stamps for the four of us, so the tweet is probably talking about a family that doesnt really need snap.

>>12605970
I should add that my mom was on a salary of roughly 15k/yr at the time. We struggled to make ends meet sometimes but we def didnt need that much money. The system is all sorts of fucked up but regardless, like I said living off SNAP is a terrible idea

>>12604705
Yup

A trip to Aldi's and my large reusable grocery bag legit always nets me a solid week of food for $25 bucks EZ. Even cheaper if was desperate and only got dried stuff and no fresh veggies.

Us Americans on average spend way more than they have to on food.

>nazi meth challenge
now I'm curious

Krautfag here, how bad you Americans have it?
I usually live off of 20€ a week, which is, I believe $24, and that's with me affording sweet treats, beer, and meat. If I had to, I could survive off of 10€ or less a week. I'd just eat a lot of oatmeal.

>>12604246

That's not an optimal grocery list for a low budget at all, lol

>>12604246
I can live on $90 a month. For budget food, it's $25 a week per person. Eating the same thing everyday can easily bring down your budget as well as getting those ads with the newspaper that list the weekly discounts.

>>12606082
I like how you and >>12604983 independently estimated roughly the same price

>>12604246
29 bucks...
15kg of chicken liver, 5kg of onion, 5kg botatoes and a stick of butter
easy peasy, but i live in second world

>>12604246
Imagine what her braps would smell like after all those eggs and onions

>>12604246
$42 AUD a week.
Yeah, I spend just about twice as much to feed two people and have lunch leftovers for me the next day. If it were just me on my own I could. Would be something like:
box of weet bix (cheapest breakfast here)
1 or 2 loaves of bread
2 boxes of milk (1liter each for breakfast)
bag of potato
bag of rice
4 days of chicken would be about $10 since as I'd be getting wings or drumsticks
2 days of mince (500g) about $4.50.
7th day would be sausages or hot dogs.
jar of peanut butter
jar of jam
olive oil spread
carton of eggs
That would come out to about $40. Some of that will last more than week as well so next week would try to bulk buy meat.

>>12604246
That's my weekly budget and I eat pretty well. All of my vegetables are from the farmer's market and I get local meat. I live alone though and don't buy premade stuff.
>>12607465
It depends on where you live, but if you know how to cook and don't buy a bunch of premade garbage food costs are about the same as yours.

>anon says something about ILLEGAL immigrants
>"hurr being mad about immigrants is pretty stupid durrr we're all immigrants anyway hurr"

It's clear you're just regurgitating liberal platitudes or you're being intentionally obtuse. Immigrants are not the same as illegal immigrants.

I'd also get a $5 chicken and throw it into a crock pot with some rice. That's easily 2 days worth of food for me in one dish. I'd eat a lot of eggs too.

I don't think I could do this without the help of a food shelter. At least there, I can pad out what I get at the store.

My grains would be rice
my meats would be cheap bulk chicken
cheap as fuck tuna
EGGS

>>12605665
Yeah because people on SNAP are also Costco members.....NOT!

>>12607572
Really high quality stocks fits the bill to a T. That's why most executives choose to get the majority of their salary paid in stocks of the company but if you're a wagie you have to start building your own portfolio but eventually you can get enough value in your stock position that banks will loan you some fraction of its worth to you in low interest loans.
>>12607850
Legal/illegal doesn't make much of a difference really. And its got nothing to do with liberal platitudes it just really doesn't change anything and in any case people should have freedom of movement in a global capitalist economy so that labor shortages and surpluses are free to sort themselves out in the free market. Like if a bunch of qualified American autoworkers wanted to move to Mexico to work for VW they should be free to do so completely uninhibited by customs. And to be clear I don't mean having no borders or citizen registry but its getting clausterphobically restrictive when governments require passports just to drive to Canada and Mexico, it wasn't always like that.

>>12607850
In case you weren't aware it's perfectly legal to enter the US requesting asylum. This administration is violating the law by not permitting that.

>>12607872
So you're basically saying that nation states' sovereignty shouldn't exist within a continent and that borders are inherently racist and oppressive? Gotcha.

>>12607873
Asylum is being abused. Just bring a bunch of children to a border and suddenly you can just claim asylum? Good luck with that. I agree our immigration policies need to be revisited but just showing up with a child does not actually constitute asylum seeking.

>>12607947
Not at all. But keep memeing.

>>12607956
Nah....you're doing great at memeing yourself.

>>12607973
I'm not the one making false dichotomies between having the broken immigration system we have now and whatever dystopian pseudofuture you've deluded yourself into believing with your fellow /pol/tards

cheap microwave dinners 1.50 a pop maybe 6 9.00
bread 3.00

yeah, if i had to feed a lot of people. rice is cheap. so is seasoning and chicken broth

>>12607873

kek.

>>12608008
Yes, in point of fact you can, retardlarina, just like you can fly from halfway around the world and ask for asylum.

>>12607954
They have to apply for it just like everyone else. There are no restrictions on whether or not they can have kids.

>>12608069
Nope. They should have asked for asylum in any of the countries they pass through. They are “supposedly” seeking asylum for political reasons, and would perfectly be safe in Mexico. They choose to hike 100 miles all the way across Mexico because Mexico won’t give them free shit and citizenship for shitting out babies. This disqualifies the whole political aspect of asylum, which is the reason asylum is a thing in the first place.

>>12604396
housing? utilities?

>>12607997
you assume a lot. I'm just saying it's annoying that every time someone wants to have a discussion about the repercussions of illegal immigration here comes some bleeding heart spouting things like "I don't know why you are against the concept of people immigrating in general" as though they're both the same thing. It's asinine and it makes you seem just as much an idiot as the people who scream "BUILD THE WALL" seem.

>>12608102
The wall will stop most illegal immigration, though.

like i said, ez

>>12605470
HAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK.

>>12608102
Well I think it should be easy to travel and live in our neighboring countries but that sovereignty is reserved in all other aspects and application for full fledged citizenship and benefits is reserved and quotad by each nation independently but also laws like the Mexican one which makes it illegal for foreigners to own land there be illegal. All commerce between national lines including labor supply should be streamlined. To do anything else is to rebel against the natural will of the human economic markets and invariably create outlaw or black market economies wherein most problems of criminality lie. Legitimizing, optimizing, and monitoring the natural impulses of the macro global economy will create more wealth overall and more freedom even for Americans, especially for Americans because we are a uniquely equipped workforce with an astonishing high rate of education compared to our fellow western hemisphere peers. We would economically dominate Mexico within a generation. White people would gentrify the fuck out of the place

7 Limes - £2.40
Garlic - £0.25
Tomato - £0.65 for a beef tomato
Spring Onions - £0.55
Coriander - £1 for a pot of alive coriander that just respawns
is that Kale in the corner? fuck knows but its £1.60 for a big bag of kale

so it's £15.98 and you're getting a bit more of things that's $19.94

this is all from tesco as well. if you went to a cheaper shop like aldi, lidl or something it'd be even less.

the limes, kale and avocado are completely unnecessary. but srsly is food that expensive in the USA...

Her dumbass probably shops at Whole Foods.

10kg rice
10 cans of kidney beans
10 cans of chili beans
4 12 packs eggs
1 liter cooking oil
1kg salt and pepper mix

less than 30 euros and will last you a whole month easy.

>>12604246
$29 a week = $116 a month.

>25 lb sack of rice = $17
>20 lb sack of dry beans = $16
>25 lbs of bone-in chicken = $25
>4 weeks of fresh veg = $25 (overestimate)
>6 dozen eggs = $10
>2 large containers of quick oats = $4
>4 lb sugar = $3
>3 lb kosher salt = $3
>4 gallons of milk = $12

Whats the grand total:

17 + 16 + 25 + 25 + 10 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 12 = 115

LOL $115. Have a dollar left over for a pack of gum and you can feed 2-3 adults and like 4+ children for a whole month. Plus you'll have plenty of beans and rice left over after the month is through.

Gwneyth Paltrow is a fucking idiot.

Sams club has trash produce though. I did eat a shitload of medjool dates when they were on sale, up until I bit into 3 in a row with spiderwebby black mold.

>>12604246
you can spend $7 in addition to this for 2 lbs of chicken breast and make slow cooker curry that would last you 2+ weeks

>>12605209
This. I worked at a farmers market and some people would buy their groceries with EBT and one time a real conservative farmer neighbor of mine was getting all pissy about it and I told him I'd rather have the NEETBUX in my cash box than in the 7/11 register and then he was like "yeah I guess" its so bizarre that food stamps of all things triggers conservative people so much
>its a tiny amount of the overall budget
>it helps people eat
>its dollars go straight back to rural America when people buy our food
If anything my only complaint is that packaged foods count but as far as I'm concerned if they wanna buy ribeyes with gibs more power to em keeps the demand for beef nice and high and calf prices stable.

>>12604246
Most of those families are eating dollar menu food at McDonalds.

>>12604256
Depends where you are. Some places have chicken is expensive and beef is cheap. The cheapest way to go on about is to learn to make sauces bases. Learn to cook with spices and freeze them in Saran Wrap. I was buying pig intestines and ham hocks for like 50-89 cents a pound. The trick is always learn how to make bases and freeze them they can last months. Peppers are expensive and you don’t want them to spoil so learn tomato pepper garlic and lemon base.

>>12605440
Excuse me, I live in shitholistan and here an avocado is 5 cents.

>>12605669
Frozen because they're less likely to go bad. If you're likely to finish the fresh berries then they're better but a lot of people just don't eat enough of them to go through a whole package before they spoil.

>>12605628
and taste like garbage unlike rice

>>12604246
And for even less
That picture is full of"healthy" memes like the avocado, kale, sweet potato, and all that garbage that costs more than the vanilla counterparts

Whole Wheat sliced bread
Spinach
2% milk
High fiber cereals
Frozen white rice (cheap af and delicious)
Bananas
Some tuna and some ham

California.

$30 will allow you to pick 100lbs of anything except strawberries that they have at the ranch.
Corn, Peppers, Squash, Tomatoes, Eggplant, and cucumbers soon.

I do this once a year and jar/pickle most of it.

>>12609664
Sweet potatoes are cheap though. They're like $0.40 a piece.

>>12609726
Sounds good
I imagine they are still more expensive than plain old potatoes
I personally use instant mashed potatoes
It's cheap, takes seconds to prepare, and works the same as rice
Processed food can be healthy if you don't stuff your face with it

Week bait.

>>12605470
Holy shit. I don't want to be on this planet anymore.

>>12607707

Really depends on my mood, but I'd probably go with Mango.

Purple is pretty decent (Tastes like Grape Fun Dip), and Blue is also good (Blue Powerade).

>>12605470

>>12604246

For $29 a week (And on a strict budget), I'd go with a huge bag of dried beans, a huge bag of rice, lots of eggs and frozen veg.

No wonder that shit costs $29, nothing is in bulk... Also, why the fuck do you need half of that?

>>12604246
$29 =6 rotisserie chickens
$29 = 60 pounds of potatoes

How about this:
2 rotisserie chickens = $10
18 large eggs = $2.00
2 loaves of bread =$6.00
10 cans of veggies (corn, green beans, etc) = $10
That's $28.00 and is enough for a family for a week

Bulk chicken
Some kind of cheap carb

Wow so hard. Why are welfare leeches so fucking stupid?

>>12608112
Huge chunk of illegals use airplanes tickets my guy

>>12604246
Lose the limes, the avocados, and the humorously oversized bunch of Coriander. Ther I just saved you 15 dollars that you can spend on a sack of rice, a bag of chicken wings so you can at least get meat for one night of the week, some bread, and a sack of potatos.

Only buy brown rice, cabbage, onions, carrots, and a cruciferous vegetable.

>>12605440
If you use it as a condiment, you can make a single avocado last over several meals. Plus, its the main fat in the picture as well as the eggs, but even then the food pictures here does not have nearly enough fat to be sustainable.

Potatoes
Eggs
Onions
Red Peppers
Vegetable oil
Salt
Ground pepper

Perfect every time!

>>12611059
been shopping at walmart lately to see how their food holds up and it isn't that bad

bread for white used to be like 66 cents but they raised the price to 88 recently and the same for water

wheat bread is 1 dollar per loaf

milk was 1.25 for a half gallon

veggies are around 60 cents per can and higher for specific ones

tuna is around 60 cents for chunk light

18 eggs was 1.30

>>12612686
wings are the most expensive part

AYO DIS NIGGA EATAN LIMES

While living in Vancouver I spent 50CAD a month on food

Bulk rice, potatos, and beans
Natural peanut butter at Dollarama for 2CAD
2nd grade apples/vegetables for 1CAD a bag at the chinese market

Could spend less ... but I like to eat a lot

>>12614804

Welp, even in the middle of Summer the tripfag still manages to have some of the worst taste on the board.

>>12605628
They also take longer to cook, and they don't hold as long and require a cold place ... unless you want to throw away half off them by the end of the week

>>12606082

You need to go the right store if you truly want to enjoy the smell off your farts

im trying to prove a point that poor fucks can live off 20 bucks and not just ramen noodles

>>12614864
Potatoes are faster to prepare than beans and aren't any faster than rice depending on how you prepare them.

>>12609210
Dry beans are WAY cheaper
1cup dry is 3-4cups cooked

Just cook a whole large pot of them and put them in the fridge
They will last you for the week

You don't need oil
Just crack your egg on the hot rice and it will cook

>>12614879
Or a co-op

>>12604256
One person sure. A family, probably not.

That being said, I could almost certainly feed two people on this. I am currently broke and I've managed to shave how much I spend on food/week (without detrimental health effects) to £10. $29 = £23 so I could feed me and a child on that much.
