>top off with pregrated cheese if you have some
serve over toast, makes a nice filling meal

Fry some cut up hot dogs first, then pour the tomato sauce in and let simmer for a bit. Add the onion and cilantro at this point if needed. Serve and eat with tortillas.

No, I lived off the grid as a child for 4 years. We squatted in an abandoned cabin out in the sticks in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
No running water, no electricity, no income.
We did trade work for staples sometimes, but mostly we just foraged, set snares, and chopped wood for heat, you know.... survived.
Eventually when we got old enough to go to school, our mother moved us into a small town a couple of hours away.
Honestly, joining civilization was a lot harder than existing outside of it. Nature is predictable, humans are not.

That doesn't sound like poor people food, that just sounds like being a shitty cook.

I'm a SUPER poorfag with only $15 a week to spend on food for 3 meals a day, 7 times a week.

All I eat are rice, eggs, and beans. Yet I can do so many things with it.

Cooking rice and adding egg, soy sauce, pepper and a little ketchup is delicious, and splurging for a can of chicken makes it even better.

Haha my dude if people knew half the shit some people have to go through to survive they wouldn't bitch at all about their cushy lives.
Socio-economically speaking we were probably in the 99% percentile for poverty. My mom didn't even take welfare, food stamps, or child support, she was too proud. She just knew homesteading techniques because she grew up on ranch.

Really the hardest thing was socializing after growing up knowing like 10 different people ever. Kids are little fucks as it is, having to join a community of a couple hundred of them when school started was a harrowing experience.

Dog/cat food isn't actually that good of a value. Comes out to 100, 200 calories per can, you'd have to be eating several cans every day to get anywhere nutrition-wise. Same with shit like potted meat or vienna sausages, they're classic "poor food" but are in such small quantities that they'r actually kind of a ripoff.
If you need meat bite the bullet and buy a large brick of poverty ground beef, and freeze it. It will last a while.

I like Aldi hot dogs. They're 79c/lb.
By law, no processed meat may contain more than 10% water nor more than 3.5% filler, 1% salt or .5% other stuff, so hot dogs are at least 85% meat-alike. I say 'meat-alike' because mechanically separated meat (MSM) from poultry, which is used in most hot dogs, contains bone fragments and cartilage. By law, there's no such thing as MSM beef and hot dogs are not allowed to contain more than 20% MSM derived from pork. Ergo, it's hard to say how much actual meat is in hot dogs, but considering that hot dogs average 10% protein across brands and most cooked meats average 23% protein, I would guess they're around 43% meat. This means that you'd have to spend $1.83 on Aldi's cheap-ass hot dogs to get 1lb of meat.

Chicken is on offer this weekend at Save a Lot for $3.90 for 10lbs of leg quarters and that's the cheapest price you'll find. Leg quarters are about 45% meat once the skin, bone, cartilage and separable fat are removed, so the meat turns out to be 87c/lb. However, the skin and fat can be rendered for cooking grease and the bones and cartilage can be saved for stock-making.
Pork shoulder is 88c/lb this week and that's about 65% meat once the skin and bone are removed so the meat winds up being $1.36/lb.

Conclusion: hot dogs, though delicious, are not economical.

Here's one of my favorites:

7-12 pre-baked potatoes, chopped
3 cups cheap meat (hot dogs, hot doggish smoked sausages, ham, spam, etc), chopped
1 large onion or bunched green onions
1 large green pepper
1 large red pepper
1 head broccoli, chopped
1/4 head of cabbage, chopped
Season-all

Mix together and cook on med-high until potatoes are tender. Save extra. Can last as one meal per day all week.

Here's another: cookies
2 cups butter
2 cups peanut butter
2 cups white sugar
1 1/3 brown sugar
4 large eggs (or 6 medium eggs)
4 tsp vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups oats
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 small bags chocolate chips

Cream fats and sugars together for about 30 minutes. Add wet ingredients, mix, add dry ingredients, mix. Use large serving spoon to spoon out batter into large cookies. Bake at 365 for 11 minutes.

These cookies are so large and contains a lot of good things and sugars, eat one cookie to replace one meal. If you eat two cookies, it will clean out your digestive system. Will last you a month, maybe two.

Lean ground pork is $1.19/lb at the Asian supermarket.
2lbs plus some fried onion, seasonings and starch to hold it together costs about $3.20 for 8 servings. Cook up some greens, a second veg and some rice, and you've got a full meal for under a buck per serving.

Poorfuck poverty-all-my-life fag here. Some of my standard "meals" have included.

Grated potatoes and onions in a bowl, rinse a little, fry as what we called "jew pancakes".

Make macaroni or similar shaped pasta, add to some no-name tomato soup, or if you're feeling like impressing someone, grate a small amount of cheddar on there (if you do the math and cheese is on sale, this is cheaper than boxed kraft dinner).

Ramen of course, but one step more pathetic, generic brand of asian shit from an asian market/store (here they call them duck noodles) boiled lightly then fried in a wok, sometimes i add garlic powder, soy sauce. no name curry powder works too. Giant wok full for like 75 cents.

Can't go wrong with fried rice. None of this adding an egg shit, that's too fancy, maybe on your birthday you'd get that. Cheapest, rinse 50 times, thai rice. Fridge overnight, few frozen peas and an onion/green onion, carrot if you have one, whateverthefuck else. Worked this out to about 25 cents a plate. Meat can be added (birthdays, or see below)

Roasts went a long way. A chicken would be several meals, one initial meal, then 2 days of sandwhiches (chicken salad to stretch it out) then the carcass would be made (with pan drippings) into a huge, watered down soup with not much in it (usually we added rice because poorfag).

Never had juice or soda, the treat was cheap teabags (asian shit usually) in a large picture of water for 4-5 days. "Cold brewed" tea.

Spaghetti sauce, now this is one i still enjoy. when canned tomatoes are on sale, its a good option, be sure to freeze 4-5 ziplock bags of it so you have meals when you're completely broke.

For meat, mostly i had roasted chickens (when on sale, or from a person i knew who raised a few). I'd shoot a deer if I could get a few bullets from a friend, divide the meat and freeze, mostly would be pot roasts. Pork you can sometimes get in packs of random chops, about 9 chops for $6(cheap here)

For a second I thought that was an onion sandwich, and thought of my Indian classmate who ate that 3 meals a day. God he stanked.

Did ham use to be cheap? Chicken is by far the cheapest meat right now, with the exception of turkeys around thanksgiving ($0.88 per lb).

Macaroni and cheese, if you make that shit yourself with flour you can make loads of it (3-4 days worth) with shit you usually have lying around your house.

Here's a tasty lentil recipe with inexpensive (though not abject poverty-tier) ingredients.

>melt some butter in saucepan on med-hi heat
>cook a chopped carrot and chopped onion till soft and translucent (you can also add chopped mushrooms for a nice nutty flavor)
>add minced garlic, cook for 1 minute
>immediately add your choice of spices (I like a touch of turmeric and a bit more cumin) and cook stirring till fragrant (30 seconds)
>add 1 cup of lentils and slightly under 2 cups of chicken stock (or water) - normally it'd be a 1:2 ratio but vegetables have some water in them already.
>optionally add a bay leaf or fresh thyme sprig (grow your own thyme. best $3 I ever spent)
>heat till boiling, then cover, set heat to low-ish, and cook till moisture is absorbed and lentils are tender, 45 mins to 1 hour
> finish with a touch of acidity like a dash of lemon juice

Hope you get a chance to try it anon, it's healthy and quite delicious.

It adds flavor, but yeah I guess that's not truly a no-oil pan fry then. Sue me. It takes like 10 minutes to make and it's delicious

You think poor people can actually afford the full beef one? The shittier ones are like $4 all the time which is what makes them quintessential for poor people, but the beef one is at least two dollars more.

I've heard of lots of things being called hash browns. I always thought they had some kind of breading or something? We knew a semi Jewish guy when I was younger and his mom made latkes which is essentially what i described except served with sour cream
