I have $10 to spend. I challenge you to make me have it last longer than 3 days for food. Also the food must be tasty and it must be a non-generic recipe

>hi I'm op I'm going to ask for help but then demand your suggestions fit my own requirements that I could be using myself to do my own research

Fuck off giant faggot op
>>
>>7559024
I've done a ton of research and I can't get anything but generic bullshit that I wouldnt eat or jury-rigged nasty NEET shit like ramen + refried beans

I'd not be asking here if I didn't already try

Canned chunky soup and chili.
Canned food gives you some nice variation and cheapness
>>
>>7559036
OP asked for something that isnt generic. Even when I was starving canned soup tasted like shit
>>
>>7559028
Almost like quality of food and price are somehow tied together?

If you could easily eat well on like $3.5 a day people would do it.
>>
>>7559017
>3.3 dollars a day for food
>nothing cheap
Hmm OP that's a tough one. How about you just don't eat for 2 days and treat yourself to some chipotle for day 3. Repeat this for a couple months and you'll save money and drop to a reasonable weight

Broccoli, carrots, potatoes, onions, eggs, parsley and chicken stock cubes. Get creative with those ingredients.
That is how I survived my first year of college without a job.
>>
>>7559028
>good tasting food
>cheap
>nutritious

You can only really have 2. Pretty much anything that's good tasting and will actually sustain you is gonna cost more than 3 dollars.

There's lots that are cheap and nutritious, but while you can make them somewhat palatable, you arn't gonna be living well on them.

BAM!

You're welcome OP
>>
>>7559091
Not OP but pretty much all of those ingredients are at lest 2-3x the prices you listed even at walmart
>>
>>7559096
>Used my local walmart for pricing.

Come on now.
>>
>>7559091
>1lb Chicken: $1.13
Where on earth do you find that?

All of these prices seem absurdly low, but that one hit me the most.
>>
>>7559098
where else is OP supposed to get it? Publix?
>>
>>7559101
I'm not the savviest shopper, but yeah, a 3LB box of meh-tier frozen chicken breasts is like $20 here.

If those ingredients were that cheap people would be doing precisely what you posted

Pro-tip: They aren't.

A lb of chicken is AT LEAST $3.50 and you sure as shit arent getting 5lbs of potatoes for two bucks. A baguette for $1.00?

Bananas are on point though
>>
>>7559017
rice beans a tank of NO2 some tubing and the plastic bag you carried your dried rice and beans in.. steal some tape...

Chicken thighs you autist.

God, chicken breast/tenders meme food needs to die. It's shitty meat that is expensive as fuck; meanwhile, you can get chicken thigh that tastes amazing for $1.00/lb
>>
>>7559112
>and you sure as shit arent getting 5lbs of potatoes for two bucks.
im in canada, and we get 5 lbs for 2 bucks on sale often, with 10 pounds going on sale for 3 bucks sometimes, i make potato+vegetable soup 4 times a week sometimes.
>>
>>7559131
confirmed for newfag
>>
>>7559112

Bitch, chicken thighs were $0.89/lb and spuds were 3LB for $2.99.

3 lbs of chicken, bag of potatoes, bag of onions and bag of flour OP, you can eat chicken pies and fresh bread every day for a week
>>
>>7559132
Breasts are what are in most recipes so what do you expect us to do? Also most people will avoid bones if possible
>>
>>7559143
Substitute with thighs.

>>7559132
This anon knows what's up on the budget chicken.

The it's irrelevant to this conversation

Walmart's 'fresh baked' pizzas in the deli or next to the veggie section.

I catch the XL ones at discount for $3.xx and last 3-4 meals.
>>
>>7559225
OP here. I saw those. They can last me a day and a half huh? I'll pick one up in addition to >>7559091 if his prices work out. Seriously guys I didn't even know you could sautee bananas
>>
>>7559236
Yea, it seemed to be the equivalent of an XL Papa John's. There may be different sizes though. IIRC, it was $3.4x.

Call that lunch, oatmeal for breakfast, then $3 of rice and veggies for dinner?
>>
>>7559143
If you are too god damn stupid to be able to substitute one meat for another in a recipe, your dumb ass needs to die....let me guess, you were raised by a single mom; kill your self faggot

>>7559307
>you were raised by a single mom

I was, but that doesnt guarantee my dad would have taught me the specific skillset you attack me for not having
