What is your favorite "I have no money" meal?

[Rozz]

Tomato soup! I lived off that shit and steamed sweet potatoes during one brutal semester.

[The Stormbringer]

Baby carrots and microwave burritos, plus the cheapest soda the grocery store has.

If I'm working with a little more money than that but am still broke, then a Little Caeser's $5 pizza will feed you for a whole day.

If I'm really, really broke, then rice with a little butter and sugar.

[anveena]

little caesars

[Nerovar]

Take some stale bread and put it in a frying pan with some olive oil and then rub some garlic on it and salt it. Tastes amazing

[Pratt]

Rice and beans. You can toss pretty much anything on top. Hard to get cheaper than that if you buy the big bags, unless you want to live off of instant ramen which sounds deadly.

[breadisfunny]

freshly caught draenei.
grilled cheese.

[Dellis0991]

Ramen, it's cheap and when I was down on hard times it was there.....I hate it but it helps.

^this too, only problem is the hellish amount of gas I receive after eating it

Besides the staples already mentioned like Totinos pizza and Ramen with egg, we would do egg salad sandwiches (hard boiled egg mashed with mayo and whatever condiments you prefer -relish, mustard,onions, sriracha- on white bread) as well as chili dogs ( buns, cheap hotdogs, small can of Wolf chili) Breakfast for Dinner is a nice way to change things up too: Pancakes, cheap breakfast meat, and eggs. If I knew then what I know now, green onion and cilantro are super cheap toppings that make anything nicer and feel fresher. You can make a crock pot of fresh chili for cheap too if you use the cheapest ground meat available and already own a cabinet of spices.

I'm glad we are doing better now, my body can't handle all the carbs/salt from inexpensive eating anymore. It would have to be like.... eggs and chili all the time :x

Ramen Noodle with egg poached in the broth as it finishes cooking. Reduce amount of water for a saltier savory egg.

<50c and packed with protein/flavor. Sub in some heavy cream add in your favorite vegetable and you got a soup goin. <75c a serving.

Also If you are familiar with Tea Egg(century egg) you can sub tea for broth and create one of the most decadent snacks ever. It takes a little patience but man is it cheap.

[Orby]

couscous. I pretty much lived in that when I was at university lol.

[Mercruxio]

I'd say mine is italian herb mix + crappy bottled parm cheese + pasta (spaghetti usually) + butter.

Wow I clicked on this thread basically to type the exact same thing hahaha
Except in my case I use olive oil instead of butter, maybe a little balsamic vinegar for zing lol

[Animalhouse]

The McGangbang:

Take a McChicken and a McDouble and just put the McChicken between the 2 hamburger patties. Cheap and VERY filling.

[Reaper0329]

I make ramen and in the water I add shredded cabbage, cilantro, 1/2 a tomato, some diced onion, and some sort of squash/zucchini to it along with any leftover meat or I'll cut up some slices of delimeat and throw in there before I add the noodles to it. Drain it because I don't like soupy ramen. Then to the noodles I add the seasoning pack and a small spoon of either mayo or butter. Not exactly healthy but then again ramen by itself isn't very healthy either but I am adding a little protein & veggies into the mix so my version is a little healthier.

Dude...that's your poor meal? Holy shit. Do you take reservations?

My poor meal's ramen, but I prefer to drain the noodles and add the packet in last, along with some butter and sriracha. It's not bad.

[Unlimited Power]

Fortunately never been that down on my luck, but I've still eaten plenty of spaghetti with butter and (if available) shredded cheese. Primarily because it's a very quick meal, but the price shouldn't be too bad either.

[Siraeyou]

Ramen is my go too if i want to essentially pay 0$ for some calories

[Poppen]

Thankfully I haven't needed a 'no money' meal in years now but when I did it was usually ketchup sandwiches.

[Kellorion]

Oodles of Noodles
PB&J
Tuna fish sandwich

[MatadorMedia]

Oriental flavor ramen noodles, and chicken nuggets with ketchup.

[Dwarfhamster]

A few 5packs of Indomie Mi Goreng Noodles, a few Onions and a Dozen Eggs.

A good 5-6 days of fairly filling meals. for about $10.

Indomie is the best. You should be unbanned for referencing Indomie.

[Ihavewaffles]

Tomato soup, with beans, got both of those plenty, have been on sale many times

I got also bunch of canned fishies with tomato, those things last years
