Brown rice with chicken, corn, peas, whatever ~$6
Cheese/turkey sandwich ~$10 for pounds of meat/cheese and a big loaf of french bread
Steamed wontons with pork or chicken ~$7
Drink from the tap
Buy sweets in bulk for the week
Don't eat out, it's a ripoff or unhealthy

What's the best way to cook it, what to eat it with?

>> No.6349097

I was at a hotel for two weeks, and I think I lived off around that much.
Breakfast: Free from hotel
Lunch: Taco Bell, about 4 bucks. Used the app to order since it comes with a free taco. Wall always full. Free Taco, Crunchwrap Slider, A Frito Burrito, and whatever else off the dollar menu.
Dinner: 3-6 bucks at Jack's. If I got hungry early, I'd get like 4 tacos and a cheeseburger. Also did the survey on the receipts, so usually came home with 6 and a cheeseburger for a little over 3 dollars. If I waited til later, I'd usually get the munchy meal. 2 Tacos, half and half fries, medium drink and whatever entree I felt like that night for 6 bucks. That Hella-peno Burger is good as shit.

>best way to cook it
If you're eating a lot of rice, a rice cooker. One of the $20 Aromas from Wal-Mart is fine. Get one with a locking lid.
>what to eat it with
Meat and vegetables, or chili, or curry.

it costs you more than $20 USD to buy a loaf of bread, a half-gallon of milk, cheap jam, and peanut butter.....?

first off, what kind of bullshit meals are you making yourself....?

2ndly, if you live in a big city, go to chinese/korean groceries, they are usually a lot cheaper.

pro-tip: load up on your favorite vegetables and keep meats to a minimum. there is a reason we outlive you fat peanut-butter fucks on average. get with the program.
