Any NEETs out there with godly cheap recipes? I'm talking canned-tuna on clearance with mayo and pickles salad tier

Soups are the max-level poverty cooking.

my bad, boiling water. just pour it into a bowl of oatmeal with some sugar and/or cinnamon, then stir until it's absorbed

cooked water nigga wat

I pre-cook water and freeze it in ziplocks so that it’s ready when I need a quick meal.

What? Do you eat uncooked water?

I have a good one i call rice. All you need is rice and water.

eat what your parents buy/make for you

Reheating boiled water just gives you stream dumbshit

we're talking about food, not vegetable water

>soups don't have meat
Is this what it's like to not be American?

Sopa de ajo. It's just old bread, paprika, garlic and ham, with a poached egg over the top. Great poverty soup

Buy 40lb bag of korean rice $22 on sale
Buy 1.5 liter bottle of sesame oil $15 CAD
Buy 2 liter bottle of kikoman$20CAD
Buy 5 bars of butter and freeze the ones you arent using. $12.50 CAD
Buy family sized gochujang sauce at korean mart $7
Buy a few flats of eggs every month from the local hutterites/amish/local dude selling them, works out to $2.50/dozen

I ate like this for 2 months when I lived in a korean study room. The only thing for free was rice and kimchi (my only vegetable). So i just added a little of the 3 sauces and butter with a fried egg on top. Probably the cheapest way to live thats delicious.

For me? It's oats and beans. The heartiest, easiest poor fag meal of all.

>oats with beans
I am not sure OP is ready to go 120% poorfag
let him start with rice and work his way down

Oats are
>more nutritious than rice
>faster to cook
>more delicious

Oats are the superior grain

But oats taste like shit.

It's a good idea. You could probably steal some salt and pepper packets from McDonald's to jazz it up.

You're an idiot, you should stop typing now before you make yourself look worse.

i've tried that, never had luck

Buy pork shoulder when it's on sale then cook it super low and super slow. Shred the pork and reserve the drippings, then skim off the fat when it's cooled

Now you have about 4 pounds of meat and pork stock for $2-$3, pick up some rice and beans for cheap and you're set. Splurge on some peppers to round out the dish and you're set

This is what got my grandma's family through the great depression

>being so poor you contemplate stealing salt and pepper packets from Mickey D's

I can understand oats and beans somewhat but at what point do you draw the line?

>2 liter bottle of kikoman
he said cheap food not cheap hormone therapy

tortillas
beans
taco bell sauce

for all the bitching about CAD power your food really doesn't seem any more expensive than the US counterparts

ramen, discard spice packet, wash after cooking so it's cold, add salad dressing

Lentils, canned tomatoes, frozen vegetable mix, curry powder, garlic, ginger. Serve over rice. This is a very cheap curry that is also very good.

I just get my mommy to buy me the Stoffers pastas that you heat up in the oven.

Kek'd a little

Yes, I am on a raw foods diet. I eat local artisanal, organic, free-range, gluten-free, non-GMO, fair-trade, sustainably sourced uncooked water.

>I could've afforded rent while going to college
>But I stayed at home with Mom and Dad to eat well
At least I cooked most nights.

It's not that bad until you factor in worse-than-california income taxes, National sales tax of 5%, provincial sales taxes that add on up to another 10%, carbon taxes and levies on fuel, home heating, and electricity in a country that's almost across the board -30C right now and governments more concerned about virtue signalling than employment. This doesn't include property taxes, having your vehicle inspected annually if it's after a certain year, or odds and ends.

I'm paying 15k on income taxes, 5% on everything I buy, and my fuel price will go up to $4.23/gal on New Years day from new carbon taxes, in a province that has one of the largest oil reserves on the planet.

And my governments want to add more taxes and government than we already fucking have.

Actually, pasta is one of the best choices if you want to keep it cheap - the other one are potatoes.

If you want to use your canned tuna: make some pasta, cook the tuna in a pan with a can of cream (reduce the cream until it gets really creamy - you will know when) and maybe some onions or garlic, and put them toghether with some pepper and parsley.

Fisherman's breakfast

Put a can or two of sardines in small fish that can go in the oven (I use one of those French onion soup crocks).

Season em up. I use chili powder, garlic salt and pepper.

Throw in oven for six or seven minutes.

Remove, crack a couple eggs on top, put back in oven for a couple minutes till your eggs are how you like.

Serve on toast or something with hot sauce

i don't get very hungry and don't like spending a bunch on food.

oh baked beans.

I was so poor that I was stealing whole rolls of toilet paper...

I had just gotten out of lockup.

Get some banquet frozen potpies. They are usually a buck or less each. Also, get some Arizona iced teas. Those will help.

It's not that you need recipes. It's that you don't know how to shop while being poor. Buy pasta, beans, potatoes, onions, garlic. Cheap bread. Look for produce that is on sale. Find the weird spot in your store where they keep the cheap cuts of meat, buy those and cook them low and slow. Also grocery stores are practically paying people to take ground turkey. Use the vegetables and meat you buy to flavor a stock that you can then use on your rice and beans or whatever to increase flavor. A bowl with some meat and potatoes is going to blow the socks off of whatever dumbass mayo-pickle-tuna shit-ass college kid recipe.

What doneness do you cook your water to?

Just add in a bit of brown sugar and something like a banana to make it bearable. That's what I do at leat when i have oats

This, I can make a huge ass pot of borscht for $24 (I live in an extremely expensive area so it's bound to be much less in most places) that'll feed me for 5 or 6 days.

But if you're going super ultra poverty-tier:

- macaroni, shitty olive oil, any seasonings you have on you
- reduced price bread, butter, garlic
- grilled cheese with generic-brand ''''cheese''''''
- boxes of shitty generic-brand snacks that you think can get you through the day
- unleavened bread

How do you prepare the drippings to make stock?

t. stock retard

Banger and mash? can be really cheap depending on the quality of sausage.

look, for cheap it's potatoes, rice, beans, pasta, and oats

for seasonings/fats:
olive oil, salt, pepper, discount cheese, hot sauce, and canned pasta sauce

mix and match

Fucking get some beans and stick em in a crockpot, pussy

Brown rice and dried beans with whatever vegetables are on sale and some oil and salt.

Strange combo.

I make pasta sauce (it's cheaper to prepare yourself and can for later use), store bought pasta (I mix it up and buy different types every time), and some hot dogs so I can cut up in it.

>oats and beans
I've never had it but I like the way you think, user. The picture makes me nostalgic for the times when I used to cook top ramen, rice, and beans in a rice cooker. It would all turn into a congealed mess and I would eat bowls of it with Tapatio when I was really high.

you're such a fucking piece of shit

just the jjansons temptation recipe

You're not looking for godly cheap recipes, you're looking for godly cheat recipes. Methods of processing, baking, making food by other means. You can yield a multiple of chips and dips by just making your own, etc. You can make your own peanut butter and flour. You can extract your own oils. You can save the fat from your bacon and use it to fry foods on the stove instead of spending money on things like butter or oil.

Ramen is going to be your best best, and buying raw vegetables that don't come in a package will help, and sometimes canned food is a good idea things like tomato sauce and packaged noodles when you're looking actual flavor without all the effort. It's all about how much food you need to eat in a day, and if you're trying to meet certain vmacros that you can't get with a multi vitamin or supplement. I believe a good long term investment pays off in rewards that last seemingly infinitely longer in regards to food and health.

Going with canned food is a cool idea, but being able to replant what you use is an even better idea. And saving your meat and vegetable scraps to make broths that can be used to make soups and stuffings, or to cook other meats and vegetables? Starting an herb garden and investing in spices will keep you from wanting to blow your fucking brains out when you're stuck eating the same thing every day, and you'll learn a little something about taste along the way and you can carry that knowledge with you the rest of your life.

I doubt pasta is cheaper than rice. Unless you make it from scratch or something and don't care about it taking much more time.

I stick with the diversity principle. It's my strength. But for real get bread, cold cuts, tuna, eggs. That way you can do any of the following: a ham and mayo sandwich (place the bread in the toaster oven with the ham fluffed on top, take it out when the bread starts to brown, add mayo, slap together and cut in half), an egg sandwich (scramble the eggs, toast the bread, add mayo), a nice fried eggs and toast breakfast, tuna sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches with a few extra ingredients. Also if you're going to go the pasta n sauce route, it's not much more expensive to make a traditional marinara with canned tomatoes (unless you happen to live somewhere that actually has good fresh ones), garlic, olive oil and basil. Just don't burn the garlic, mash up the tomatoes, let them sit and bubble until they have that nice frothy thing going on top, let the basil leaf just sit in there for a few minutes, and add the (unstrained motherfucker) spaghetti.

pack of sliced knock off processed cheese substitute is one dollar what are you on about

didn't you just come up with this shit like three weeks ago and made a thread you faggot?

You want a lid with a hole in the middle on the collection bowl so it doesn't evaporate back out constantly.

just make asian food

ramen and eggs

together, not separate

Dry lentils, rice and store brand frozen vegetable medley.
Seriously like 50¢ a meal.

Why do Amerifatts pretend ramen is cheap?

If you want to sustain yourself on white flour, which is dumb, there are easier ways.

Thought I was the only person that did this. I like to put a poached egg on top.

three days at MOST unless that box of pasta is like 5lbs

that's not entirely retarded

oats are denser and more nutritious than rice, and you could probably make it edible-tasting without too much difficulty

>rice made with seasoned water
>pasta, use can of chopped/diced tomatoes and some garlic as sauce
>roasted french fries made out of sliced potatoes, about 2 potatos per meal
>literally just peanut butter, get the biggest economy size you can find at walmart or costsco
>eggs
>dried beans

It's really easy to church it up for cheap, especially if you make your own beans.
Cuban-style with black beans and coconut is good, spicy pinto beans, etc.
Really, savory oatmeal is underappreciated.

Not that guy, but:

>breakfast: 2 eggs + 1 piece toast
>lunch: cheese sandwich
>dinner: pasta with sauce and pepperoni

2 eggs plus a few pieces of bread (probably, depends on the loaf) for whenever. Easily enough for 5.days.

Wew check out this trust fund golden baby with his eggs.

You should be stocking up on non perishables when you do have some cash, start of term or pay check or whatever. Spices, pasta, rice, tins that kind of thing.

When I was absolutely fucked money and prep wise I would buy a tonne of eggs and onions and go omelette crazy.

Tinned anchovies, sardines and mackerel are godsends. Much better than tuna.

You can experiment using the different sauces they come in or use the oil for frying

Not a NEET, but the best food of all is split pea soup, and it's fucking dirt cheap.

I had been making it for some time now, but yes, that was me! Savory oats are the bomb.

>that pic
lol step it up fag

Can of beans
Medium onion chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic chopped
200-500g of minced meat of any type (preferably pork) depending how much you can afford
Tomato paste/fresh tomatoes chopped/ketchup
Lots of hot paprika or Sriracha
Salt and pepper to taste

Basically throw everything into a pot with boiling water, cook on med-low for half an hour stirring occasionally. Mash it with potato masher or don't idgaf and serve with rice or toasted bread

Una delicia

I didn't realise Veeky Forums was the place to come for bants but jee wiz I was wrong

Cooked Rice
Bacon
Green Peppers
Onions

Chop up bacon and fry it. Remove the bacon bits. Dice the green peppers and onions. Fry them the bacon grease. Toss the bacon back in, toss in the cooked rice. Stir and eat.

For a NEET meal its pretty expensive (because of the bacon) but hella easy to make and tastes delicious.

Extra firm tofu $2.50
green onion
bell pepper
garlic
mung bean sprouts
broccoli
Weight on top of tofu to squeeze out moisture. Big pan, some oil, good and hot, throw stuff in and stir until it's done. Serve over rice.

Meat is cheap if you're smart about it.

>buy meat that's almost expired (and therefore reduced price) and freeze it until you want to use it.
>buy ground turkey instead of ground beef.
>16 oz smoked sausages are always 2 for $5 and you can stretch that into six meals
>buy meat that most people won't eat
>2 lbs of chicken hearts is ~$1.50 at most asian marts
>visit butcher shops for cheap meat

I HIGHLY recommend that last point. Butchers will sell you animal parts that they otherwise would just throw out because no one wants them. They usually sell them for pennies and will let you haggle for price. I once bought a pigs head and an entire leg for $2.45. Made about a months worth of hambone soup with black eyed peas and froze it for later.

t. was a povertyfag for 3 years to save up for house

I just put oil on my pasta

Bring grapenuts and water to a simmer in a saucepan. Add salt, pepper, herbs, etc to taste and budget. Add butter because you can't afford milk but the butter is useful. Add a jar of the homemade applesauce you swiped from your parents. Mix it up, stick saucepan in the fridge overnight because power is included in rent. Enjoy apple pie in a saucepan the next day

How is someone supposed to make his own beans?

I can never make it savoury enough, I have to add sickly amounts of salt.

I never eat sugar so I have low sweetness tolerance. Oatmeal is overly sweet to me at all times.
