    I eat oatmeal almost every morning for breakfast, we splurged and got eggs too. And a couple weeks ago it was a lot of hamburger soup, or beans lol. Being poor KIND of is a good thing when dieting, because you can't afford to binge

    Instant Rice + Soup Cubes > Ramen (cheaper too)

    interdasting. 17 cents for ramen but i guess a big bag of rice would be cheaper in the long run

    I eat my oats raw - it saves on electricity, naturally, and mixed with cheap dried fruits, it is a great low-glycemic source of carbs which won't send me cuckoo for cocoa puffs later in the day. Coco puffs are expensive, brah.

    17 cents, really? Never seen it below 25.
    But yes, instant rice + cheap hot dogs + soup cubes allowed me to survive on a 20$/week food budget as a student (srs).

    I'm on a very tight budget right now until pay day, sucks! What seems to go the furthest is white rice, beans, and grilled cheese sandwiches. I seriously stock pile on white rice, maybe it's the Korean in me.

    All I can afford to eat is dust bunnies and dryer lint.
