What to eat when you are broke!!??

I'd suggest frozen veggies, eggs, whatever meat is on sale (often chicken thighs), whatever produce is on sale (salad makings), beans, and along that line. In my experience probably unhealthy foods can be just as expensive.

In the summer veggies from my garden
Every other month all the veggies from what I froze from the summer and fall.

When i am skint....which is alot.....I buy a big bag of potatoes, which can be jackets, boiled, or even wedges....beans and some meat thats on offer. I also freeze meat some times, so during the hard times I can still eat protein lol.
Also make larger portions of thing and freeze some of it for anouther time. I live off frozen portions when my money runs out!!

Sooo its nearing the time before pay day again and we have run out of funds and I am almost completely out of healthy options. This is where my mind goes crazy and I am in need of support :O(

Dry beans, rice, pasta, whole chickens to break down if you can afford it, ground beef

Sam's Club has whole chickens for right around $5.00 & they're bigger than you'd find in most grocery stores.

I am on low income and Link right now and have the same problem. I have been taking to eating small amounts of food several times a day and it keeps me from having to make big meals. Everything that has been suggested I agree with, but if you don't have the money it is harder to do. I enjoy getting fruit from Aldi and getting some vanilla yogurt and eating that as a meal. It is cheaper than buying the mixed stuff. Just my suggestion.

Porridge/oatmeal for breakfast
Soups / stews made from any leftover veg/meat/fish and padded out with beans or lentils
Chick pea curries, rice, pasta, etc.

I also go through this sometimes and frozen vegetables are life savers. I buy a bag of frozen mixed vegetables for about $1 or $2 a bag and usually lasts me about a week. Also, tuna cans (.75 cents a can), eggs, tofu ($1.50 a square), and brown rice ($1.50 a small bag) are cheap and can last for a couple of days. Grilled tofu, brown rice, and sauteed mixed vegetables make a great meal!

Buy a bag of frozen chicken tenderloins, each one is a good portion size
Buy store brand marinades to jazz up the chicken
The clearance racks in the back of the store have marked down bread
Look for tortillas on sale for $1 - good for wraps and make you fuller
Make a big batch of chili (make you own, not the individual cans) and freeze it in small containers
Make lasagna - portion size into small containers and freeze
Ramen - throw in scrambled eggs (or whites), a little cooked rice and more frozen veggies to make it into a bigger meal

Agreed. Whole chicken or other cheaper parts is good. Same with pork (like pork butt of shoulder roasts).

I agree with all the foods listed above and if you don't mind "generic" there is yogurt and the above ingredients are great for homemade soup! I also buy all my meat when it's on sale and freeze it so when the price zooms up I still am able to still have meat as part of my meal...one thing that has really increase the amount of my groceries and lowered my grocery bill is portion control...I was eating triple the amount that I am eating now and can't believe how less often I need to fill my pantry:)

Get to an Aldi's if you have one. Eggs are 68 cents a dozen, and a great source of protein. Greek Yogurt, 45 cents. Add in some bananas and that is some decent nutrition until more $$$$ comes your way

tuna is usually cheap nad you can get a few sandwhiches out of it...or even salads out of it. you can use mustard instead of mayo.

I make omelets using one whole egg and 3 egg whites, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1/2 cup tomato and 1/2 cup chopped onions plus 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Add a little water so omelet will puff as you cook it. Makes a big omelet that fills and is good for you. Also have made omelets using whatever canned beans I have on hand. (rinse to help remove excess sodium) My eight and nine year old daughters always want theirs with sardines cooked inside.

I do the same as well, but I never thought to do in times when I am short on cash... Good idea! I normally buy meat when it is on sale and freeze it. That way I have plenty on hand and dont have to shop more often.
