Hello all, Im just wondering what are some good budget friendly foods, meals and snacks?
Im a single mom/student on a very strict budget.
I hope this is the right spot to post this!
Also, I live in Canada.. dunno how different our prices are. Most peopke say the cost of food in Canada is a lot higher then other places.

That's a wide range. Can you narrow down your list a bit? Maybe it'll be easier to suggest smaller groupings.
Popcorn is a cheap snack.
Corn & potato chowder is a cheap (and tasty) meal-soup.
Most dishes made with beans are cheap, healthy and filling. Mashing white beans in with mashed potatoes, adds fiber, fills you up and stretches the potatoes further. Left-over mashed potato/beans can be used to make salmon or tuna or crab cakes (another tasty meal; just add a salad).

I would like to know this as well. It is so expensive trying to eat right, but I don't want to eat processed foods either. I just want to eat correctly for the rest of my life and be able to afford it.0

Top Ramon, potatoes, whole fryer chickens , tortillas , black beans , and rice were what I lived on in college and I was broke so sometimes it was just one of those at a time.0

I'm making a big pot of lentil soup right now. It is pretty inexpensive to buy some dry lentils or beans and they are very filling. My vegetable hating dd eats it. It freezes and reheats well.
