Yup. Just plain old patties from Grocery Outlet

[Anonymous No.12318619]

When I was a kid, my afternoons were often spent shooting the larger pigeons in the fields with a rusty air rifle so old that when my father got it when he was a kid, it was already a hand-me-down. I walked around with a backpack, plastic bag, and a multitool which was enough to field dress them and chuck them in the plastic bag and into my backpack. Would bring them home to mom, who would cook them alongside plain polenta. Cornmeal, water, salt. If tomatoes were in season or we had a can of them lying around, we were able to thank the plants in the backyard for providing a braising liquid for the birds and sauce for the polenta. I also took pot shots at hares when I saw one jolt across the field away from me, and because of that a handful of times I've had a roasted rabbit. We had a cast for pellets and dad would always get old waste lead pipe to melt down in a tin can over the stove. I started casting them myself at about 8. I would lubricate the air rifle with heavily used cooking oil that was about to be tossed. She finally broke on me when I was a big boy now in the city and in a better financial situation, wanted to check how the action after reassembly and just as I'm done compressing air the piston ruptured wide open and the break-action lever that does the actual compressing bent itself out of shape, only thing I could have salvaged of her would have been the tube receiver and the stock. Barrel was already so worn to shit only I really knew how to hit anything with all it's continuously slightly shifting odd tendencies. Wish I could say the stock wood was beautiful walnut and I kept it or something but it was beaten-to-shit Wood-brand Wood, it did have character at the very least.

TL;DR If you're eating meat and you didn't have to go look for it in the woods, that's not poverty. Or you grew up in the middle of a city, which is fine I guess.

Food to me seems so ridiculously inexpensive that any claim that you're hungry is an obvious lie. You can buy a dozen eggs for a dollar, chicken and pork cost $2-3 per pound, carrots are $1 per pound, you can buy a pillowcase full of rice for $10, etc etc.

I'm not poor, but I used to be and still largely cook as though I were.
Stews are perfect poverty food, and they're delicious as well. It's amazing how much more filling and satisfying something gets if you thicken it with a spoonful of flour too.
Some basic spices and herbs tossed into the water you boiled the carrots in and then thickened up a little makes a decent sauce/gravy. And that in turn makes play potatoes and carrots a treat.
If you're REALLY poor you can forego meat entirely. Spices are more important than meat, I'd say, although I'd hate to be without either.
It's pretty easy to throw together a curry from cheap vegetables and rice/lentils and barely notice you're eating a vegetarian dish.

If you insist on meat I guess shop around for stuff on sale. Don't be afraid to buy a whole chicken instead of one that's cut up for you.
Cheap cuts work great for stewing and braising too, as do organ meats.
I grew up eating pigshearts a lot and I have a taste for them. They're not as cheap as they used to be where I live, but it's still a lot of flavour for your buck.

Clean it out, stuff it with parsley, truss it, braise it, make the best gravy you ever tasted.

It doesn't though, it's dead easy making a far better loaf than the cheap industrial white bread that costs the same. Do you want white sugary wonderbread crap or a good coarse workmans loaf? Seriously takes no fucking effort.

*0.9L mix of whatever (wheat) flours you want, choose your own courseness
*Half a bakers yeast package
*Salt (I wing it, a teaspoon or two maybe)
*Approx 0.6 of the weight of the flour in water

Mix that shit, leave it in a bowl in the fridge for 12-18 hours, no need to knead it this way and you get more flavour to boot, allow to sit until it reaches room temperature (preferably, or don't if you don't want to wait), bake it in the oven at 250 Celsius for 35-45 minutes (until it has the colour you like). LET IT REST UNTIL IT REACHES ROOM TEMP. You can't fuck that shit up and you don't even need a bread form.

Healthier, tastier, as cheap or cheaper. ~10 minutes work time total, the rest is just waiting.

Psssht. I grew up in Australia, so when I had to go poverty hunting, I was forced to lash a pointy rock to a stick. Of course, string was in short supply, so I had to carefully braid together my cast off pubic hair. This process took about a fortnight, which was convenient, because that’s normally how often something edible wandered under the tree I had to camp in while braiding my pubes.
You hear about those tourists that go missing in the bush? No mystery. They disappear towards the end of the dole fortnight, because unlike the locals, they don’t know to look up when they hear the sounds of pubes being lashed to a shaft.

We'd buy one sack of potatoes at the end of spring and the rest of the year we'd spend growing our own, tomatoes and cucumbers with radishes. Best summer I can remember was when, we suppose a bird must have eaten some watermelon seeds and dropped one in our garden but we ended up having two big watermelons grow with our cucumbers--whole garden was watered every day with buckets of water I'd get from the creek close to our house since we couldn't afford to water them off city water.

What

Are you actually suggesting that homemade bread is inferior to the bland, stale garbage you get from supermarkets? Scratch that, have you ever HAD homemade bread before? It takes maybe 10 minutes of active effort for the whole process and a few hours of wait time in between, and takes no more skill than being able to follow basic instructions. Even the worst homemade bread I've had or made has been leagues beyond anything I've bought from the store, and probably cheaper to make too. Unless you're working multiple jobs nonstop you ought to be able to spare a few minutes here and there to bake 2 or 3 loaves for the week.

I always start my shopping there, and I take my time and look at everything, because you can find some amazing deals. Just the other day, I bought some raw milk aged cheddar for $1.99. They have organic grass fed ground beef (and sometimes organic pastured ground lamb) for $4.99 a lb, which is pretty damn cheap for that quality. Also, the other day, they had packs of sliced hard salami (6 oz) for 50 cents a piece! I could go on listing all the fucking great food I've found there, but that would take too long. Spend more time looking around, because you don't have to eat crappy frozen mystery patties if you just take the time to look. The only things I don't bother to buy there is the produce, because the quality isn't very good.

how much did you pay for your dough mixer?

[Anonymous No.12323861]

>>12323843
Not him but mixing dough can be skipped if you let the yeast work overnight the fridge instead. You don't need more than 10 minutes of 'labour' at most to get a loaf. The rest is just waiting. I highly recommend trying even if the savings aren't vital to you, it's very easy to make surprisingly good loafs

This, you can also do a stretch and fold method to build gluten rather than kneading. I made 2-3 loaves of bread on the weekend with only about 20 mins of work.

Using really fancy organic WW bread flour they still come out at about 1.75 per loaf. Using storebought stuff they'd be even cheaper.

I gotta feed 2 people for a month with $200. It wouldn't be so bad, but my fucker roommate is my brother and wont eat anything I cook, so all I eat are frozen hotdogs and chicken nuggets. I make pasta for myself with ground pork since its half the price of beef, but since he wont fucking eat it, I end up with 2 days worth of food every time I make it. So my meals consist of hotdogs, chicken nuggets and pasta with pork bolognese sauce.

I've recently only started making things that I can substitute pasta for, like making curry rice with pork. If worst comes to worst, I can buy boxes of mac and cheese at the dollar store for 50c and eat a few of those a day.

ANyway, its surprisingly easy to eat for cheap if you don't care about eating the same shit every day.

Some pasta, preferably baby shells.
Ground pork, 2 pounds.
Montreal steak spice, garlic salt, lemon pepper
Fry it up and then add the sauce and some siracha for spice and flavor. Add the pasta into the pan and mix it up then divide it into containers to stuff in the freezer. Add a little more siracha when you heat it up.

Are you trolling? The malnourishment comes from them eating mostly white rice and nothing else. Rice by itself does not have all the essential amino acids. But the combination of rice and legumes does.

I cook and eat like a poor person. Here's today's menu.

Breakfast: rice pudding with almonds, blueberry jam and dried blueberries. Total cost for this serving: 56¢
Morning coffee: 41¢
Mid-morning banana: 25¢
Lunch: leftover taco mac casserole with homemade salsa verde. Total cost for this serving: $2.35
Cucumber salad: 32¢
Dinner: beetroot, cabbage and mushroom soup. Total cost for this serving: $1.05

Total for today: $4.94

Basically, I feed myself on roughly $150/month yet poorfags on SNAP 'struggle' to feed themselves on $200. Irony, indeed.
