Who else /university/? My meal plan makes me want to kill myself and I need suggestions. Cheaper the better.

Well, it's cheaper to make your own pitta and chicken. It's easy to cook chicken anyway, why buy breaded?
Lecso

cook in that order wait for the previously added ingredient to start to get soft.
add some rice.
poverty-tier price range.
cook a massive pot of it, you have food for a week.

How much are you paying for the mandatory pleasure of eating shit?
>>7490651
This sounds unreal. Sold
>>7490657
Too much.
>>7490615
Do u have an oven? Crockpot?

unfotunately mcdonalds is cheap. Buy rice in bulk for poverty life it's pretty versataille. Eat less cheese. Thin slices of fried spam over rice is god tier comfort food. Make chili and thick soups. Eat chicken and use the bones for stock. Chili mac is pretty good when you're broke af. LEARN HOW TO COOK VEGETABLES, do not crutch like the average douche and be retarted with meat. Pork chops onions and bellpeppers tastes great. Get a crockpot because it's cheap and you can make so much different shit. Do not ever let your roomates use your knife, pans, or cutting board.

Mine looks roughly like pic related, i think i chop my veggies into smaller pieces.
And I really avoid overcooking shit, I'd rather undercook than get mushy garbage.
And of course mine has sausage in it.
Put as much rice on the plate, drop a few scoops on the lecso on it.
From my experience - will feed a factory worker after a 12h shift.

Oh god. I thought he was sane. I thought he was reasonable. But no right-minded person values kindly shared kitchen wares that lowly. He's a blockhead so there's no explaining or bargaining without him getting unreasonable, so I'm stuck for now. Two more months.
>>7490687
no, yours looks good
>>7490718
It's pretty bad hen your roomate puts his shitty frozen pizza on you're cutting board and tries to cook it.
>>7490615
Gladiator diet is what you need: beans and oats as your base. Build from that according to your budget.
>>7490667
Both. Chili is one of my staples.
Mine put the polystyrene disk in the oven recently. Plastic or wood? I'm not even sure which would be worse. Mess from plastic, expense of wood.

I got a bamboo cutting board for 3$ from Dollarama, cheap as shit and still works great

What budget are you working on? I bulk buy meats from butchers, and freeze them, then get a weekly Ocado van.
My biggest regret back in college was not moving out of the fucking dorm until my senior year. Westwood was a nice place to live and I didn't need to limit myself to fucking cafeteria food.

Smart move, anon. Best tip I can give you as another unianon is pulled pork. Watch prices, buy a shoulder/butt when on sale at your local store.
I just bought a 6 lb bone-in Boston butt for $2/ lb. After moisture loss and bone weight, got probably 4 lbs of slow roasted pork for 2.50 a pound. Freeze most of it, and use it whatever you would have made anyways.
