Can you suggest any meals that I can make with mostly dry-keep ingredients?
I unfortunately can't really use the refrigerator because things will get stolen and eaten and there isn't really anything I can do about it. I've been having to hide things in my room, or buy things and eat them ASAP. I've been trying to save money on food but with these stipulations it's proving very difficult.
inb4 "move out", I financially can't at this time, so I'm just stuck in a shitty situation. I wish I could get foodstamps to help, but I'm afraid they'll look at this as a household total instead of two separate groups living under one roof.
cashew curry with water, beef jerky, boil in bag brown rice, curry powder, powdered milk and lastly you'll need pepper jack cheese but it should keep for a few days at least unrefrigerated as long as its in a cool environment.

Gracias anon. I've been looking into different brands of ramen noodles & rice meals, but eating what amounts to schoolkid lunches can be downright depressing

water chestnuts
also, get a mini-fridge
laxative your food bro
Why not just poison some of your food? I don't mean lethal poison, but something that would make them sick and teach these thieves a lesson.
Are you in socal? I'll sell you a mini fridge for twenty bucks
Canned ham isnt bad I fry it then add it to zatarans jumbalaya when camping, you can also do that with summer sausage too.

Make some exlax brownies, when they are done shitting their guts out they will think twice about eating your food
Fuck ex-lax, get some lactulose it's much more powerful. They will shit themselves to death.
Kick them out. Take them to small claims court. Report them to the police. Steal their shit and sell it to buy groceries. Beat them with a belt. Beat them to death with a hammer.
Assuming you've already explained to them that this is absolutely disgusting and wildly inappropriate behavior, of course.
This is no way to fucking live.

I honestly think this is the best approach.
They can't reasonably confront you over poisoning your own food, and if they do you can simply deny it and then ask why they were eating your food in the first place.

Buy your groceries in smaller batches and eat it the day you get them.
Mini fridge with a lock.
Invest in the following things:
Microwave
Mini fridge
Single burner
Steamer or rice cooker
You can make anything with these items without leaving your room to do anything but wash your dishes, as I came to learn in college. The first two can be found cheaply on craigslist and the last two on amazon

been doing this for a while as I have very unpredictable cooking/eating habits, not the best if you intend on cooking for yourself every single day though
