Eggs seem pretty cheap...

Potatoes, onion, celery, spice, and bean broth over brown rice.

Rice, salt, peanut butter and vitamins. A person could live off of that. If you're talking cheap, but decent... depends on what kind of foods you like. I spend less than $50 a week on food most of the time, lrn 2 shop. I eat a lot of eggs and soups etc.

My multi of choice and ramen. Tasty, flavored ramen is, like, 10¢ a package.

> Foods
Ramen. Lots and lots of ramen.
> amounts
By the package. Contains a block of ramen and seasoning packets.
> costs
10¢ or so a package. Went up to 16¢ recently at the local store, but I'm sure you can find it in bulk somewhere.
> how you use them
Boil water, throw in noodles, wait two minutes, stir in seasoning, eat.

Ramen

Eggs

Onions

Oyster Sauce

Boil ramen, saute onions, add whisked eggs to onions, add noodles to cooked eggs and onions, oyster sauce to taste. = Chinese noodles, cheap and win.

i agree, eggs are just amazing and good for you and I never get bored of them. THANKYOU ALMIGHTY CHICKENS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY!

But if you buy them organic they aren't the cheapest food. But fuck it. I could say brown rice but I'd get bored of that.

Them too. They sponsor state capitalism under the guise of being a vanguard party for true communism, which is itself flawed too. Non-totalitarian socialism FTW.

Is there any problem which cannot be solved with cannibalism? Overpopulation, famine, babysitting...

Uhm.

It's not cannibalism.

Catdragons are actually superior to humans |3.

Grass-fed beef and center-cut bacon. Organic, of course. That's the cheapest food I personally could live with.

Protip:

Corn and beans together form a complete protein.

My food of choice when I'm strapped is vegetarian enchiladas.

Buy dry corn and beans in bulk.

There's a trick to preparing the beans so they don't give you gas -- just put them in a pot full of water, bring it to a boil, let it sit for 3 hours, and then drain and rinse the beans thoroughly -- yes, this works.

You need:

A casserole
Black, pinto, or adzuki beans
corn (I prefer hominy -- it's hulled and easier to digest)
corn tortillas
shredded cheese
onions
sour cream or unsweetened yogurt
seasonings

oil the casserole, put down a layer of corn tortillas, spread sour cream/yogurt on them, add corn, beans, onions, seasonings (I use green chile, ground red pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, and oregano), and cheese, and repeat until the casserole is filled, and then top generously with cheese.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then broil at 500 for 5-10 minutes (until the cheese on top gets crusty).

Enjoy!

This recipe will cost about 15 dollars and feed you for a week.

Right now I'm making good money, and made me some delicious wild albacore poke, which is basically a Japanese version of ceviché.

holy fuck these pills are making me tl;dr like a motherfucker
