/ck/ I'm going to be moving out the house and into an apartment with my friend in a few months. I need a list of food to make that doesn't cost a lot of money. What would you recommend?
>inb4 ramen noodles every night
Everything should be based on rice and beans and whatever cheap green leafy vegetables you can find (these vary by geography)
Beyond that you can add dairy, eggs, and even meat occasionally (no more than a few times a week). Canned sardines count as meat
Don't listen to the idiots who will tell you to buy $1 expired battery chicken meat and eat that daily, that is not only disgusting but also bad for the environment
You can get stuff like ham hocks from sustainably raised pigs for $5 each, and that is enough to flavor an entire pot of bean soup

Rice, beans, chicken, eggs, potatoes, pasta, canned tuna, cheese and whatever cuts of meat are on sale. Basic spices and seasoning, like soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, salt, pepper. For fruits, have apples and bananas laying around.
Get a big bag of rice, preferably 20lbs, it'll come out to nothing a pound.
Learn how to cook simple dishes, you'll save lots and eat halfway decent. Try to have a salad a day, something simple, don't buy shit tier lettuce like iceburg for a salad, get a cheap extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar to dress the salad with or use ketchup and mayo, throw some cheese in the salad, keep away from those premixed salad dressing bottles, mix your own.

Oh fudge, forgot to add, buy a damn pressure cooker, preferably the newer types that don't vent steam. Not only will whole meals be done in under 30 minutes, but you won't stink up or heat the house when cooking. A lot of foods can be cooked at once together in a pressure cooker, like rice, beans, veggies and chicken, real time saver, and with the newer types of cookers that I mentioned earlier that don't vent steam the flavor is unbeatable.
With a pressure cooker, you can make pulled pork once a month in no time and it won't take hours and it'll come out soft and tasty even using pork shoulder the cheapest cut.

I saw this infomercial on pressure cookers a few weeks ago, and I thought it was bull shit. Nice to know they weren't all Sham Wow and shit.

Well, stove top pressure cookers are better, but the electric on infomercials aren't that bad for ease of use. I've never cooked a pasta dish in my stove top pressure cooker, but here's a recipe video of the Power Pressure cooker that's in recent infommercials of them cooking up a Rotini Carbonara dish.

I don't answer to this posts anymore. If someone can take care of his basic nutrition by himself without resorting to a store, it's because he's not equiped to live among us anymore.
Darwinism in a shell.
GG OP, you'll die in the next 10 years because of some sort of nutrition malfunction. Now you be responsible and don't reproduce.

In all fairness, that's a fuckin shit tier 1900s design that vents and makes noise and doesn't have safety release valves, new pressure cookers by Kuhn Rikon, Fissler and Fagor have several safety valves and gaskets that slowly release pressure when it gets too high and you don't blow up the kitchen and your loved ones.

And get to look like Freddy Krueger!
Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes. I lived off basically nothing but potatoes and water for like 3 months. Just get some bulk paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne. So many ways to do em and good with anything
Spend less money on weed and beer and then you can afford to eat well, and you will become a better cook by contrast which has lifelong application as opposed to 1 day of faux enjoyment.
