I live in NYC and I only have 90 dollars left for the week after paying rent. What food do I buy so that I don't fucking die /int/
>>59726259
A large bag of rice, and chicken that expires tomorrow.
Cook rice, bake chicken. Food for a whole week.
>>59726259
Top ramen
>>59726294
>>59726287
Oh the old Asian food trick.
Should I try those 60 second rice/noodles?
>>59726331
>Should I try those 60 second rice/noodles?
No.
Those are shit, and full of shit, and not filling.
A 4lb bag of rice is $4.50 and 2 chicken breast nearing their expiration date is usually 50% off at like $3.50.
$10 and you have food for a week.
>>59726420
Thank you so much. I wasn't joking when I said I barely have any money for food.
Subway
>>59726464
Thank you Mexibro but that's like 2/9 of my budget gone in 1/3 of a day.
>>59726259
The chicken and rice thing hit the nail on the head, you could also buy some oats if you want something different for breakfast
Try beans too.
>>59726259
>$90 for whole week
wew
>>59726816
Yeah. Just New York City things...ha...
>>59726722
yeah, a large box of oatmeal is cheap, but really needs milk, and butter to make it not taste super bland, so that might make it a tighter budget
>>59726782
good suggestion. not canned shit tho, buy them fresh and cook it yourself, lots of savings.
How are you paying for internet?
>>59726782
haha fucking beaner
>>59727029
Dumb straya poster
>90 dollareedoos
>dying anywhere
Yeah no
>>59726259
just hang out around cafes and restaurants with outdoor seats and steal food off tables
that's what I did when I was homeless
>>59726287
This is good adive. rice, no need for spice saves it, mice wont touch it, no need to slice anything. Price is also good
>>59727040

>Only 90 dollers

You fucking disgust me, but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you live in an expensive fucking place.
Hotdogs/Ramen noodles/ cheap meat if you can fry it up easily/ canned fruits / Lettice and dressing (no toppings) / soup / bread, cheese, and lunch meat / Whatever is cheap in the frozen aisle.
>>59726992
Nothing wrong with canned food.
You should ask /ck/ OP
Those guys know their shit
Hi lads
I only have $4,000 and a banana plantation to last me until tomorrow
Any tips?
When I was on welfare I lived on $35 a week.
Trick was to live off of water and beef mince meals like spaghetti Bolognese, using cheap rice snacks or frozen meals on the side.

I'll send you some food (not leftovers, legit stuff). Gotta help a nigga out in times of need!
I remember being in the same situation one day... After paying rent, i had $500 MXN left for the whole week (that was like 50 dollars back in the day).
>>59726259
Uhm how much is food in NYC?
That's like 2-3 weeks of food for me
>>59727222
Cheap carbs is all that matters
Just work the rest off
>>59727081
Of course it's expensive. It's not a comfy suburb. I'm in the heart of fucking Jew York for Christ's sake.
As for all the kind anons giving advice, thank you all so much.
>males worrying about carbs
ah yes
Go to asian market and buy rice. Rice is crazy cheap but very nutritious. How else do you think those chinapoors lived before europe arrived
>>59727248
It's 6 dollars for a small box of cereal. I'll just leave it at that.
>>59727228

>>59727272
Humanity in general should eat less carbs, not just the fat and/or poor.
>>59727248
It's cheap if you're eating cheap food. Actually everything in new york is cheap except rent. Rent is...rent is so exorbitant it makes up for all the other cheap stuff by making sure you never have extra cash.
>>59727164
I did that but with rice and tinned soup when it was on sale, one serving of basmati rice with 1 can of chunky soup was 2 days worth of food
>>59727281
Rice seems to be the clear choice huh? It's too bad I'm not extremely fond of it. But I literally am starving and actually in a life or death situation. I'm 5 11' and only 140.
Buy rice
The cheapest food - bread and cereal. Boil barley at 3 meals and eat it with bread, next day cook the other cereals. Slow carbohydrates will saturate for several hours.
>>59727320
Ditch all pop and other junk food, too expensive and unhealthy. Beans are nice for getting extra carbs. My favourite "cheap" meal is probably beans with nice plus some celary. If you can afford it, get some spices. They make crappy food into good food. Check out the imgur album the other guy posted.
>>59727306
This, people exaggerate prices here a lot. If you aren't buying from fucking whole foods you have plenty of super cheap groceries.

90 dollars after rent, for a week?
Not sure how expensive NYC can be but I'd eat like a kind here with that money in one week.

I'm a hungry skelly. Refer to >>59727320
This is why I was actually scared. I need a surplus of calories to even function as a normal human being. I enjoy long runs but now I realize that if this becomes a routine for me I'm gonna have to stop and maybe starve a bit to slow my metabolism

Do you think NYC is known for its dangerous amount of bums out of the blue?
>>59727476
Dude I could feed a family of 3 for $100 bucks, how the hell can't you feed yourself? If you stay away from places like Key Foods you should have more than enough.
Start sucking dicks.
If you suck 300 dicks per week and charge $1/dick that's $300 per week. Surely enough to afford you food and even give you some savings.
Given that's its New York City and the prices are jacked up you might even be able to offer dicksucking for $5/pop in which case 100 dicks sucked would be $500.
>>59727320
dude, there are a lot of rice based recipes. risotto, colorful rice, rice and beans, the list is pretty big
>>59726259
Come on it is a lot of money. Russia minimum wage are 95 dollars for a month and a rent is 300 dollars.
>>59727466
Manhattan is insanely expensive to rent. I mean I get it, they're trying to cram over 2 million people on a tiny island and a lot of its surface is taken by the fucking forest that is central park, it has to be expensive.
I also don't get it because the steps taken to relieve the manhattan population are a joke. It's the most over-populated, dense place I've ever lived in, it's fascinating on a sociological level. How the fuck that place hasn't sunk into the water from the weight of the bodies on it is beyond me
>>59727570
I doubt op lives in Manhattan desu, I'd assume Brooklyn.
If it gets really bad just go to the nearest market during the night and get some of the food they throw out.
>>59726259
I don't live in NYC but if I had to live cheap for a bit here's how I would do it:
1) Breakfast - Oats + Milk
2) Lunch - PB&J + Fruit
3) Dinner - Rice, beans, and veggies cooked in crockpot
4) Snacks - Assorted nuts
>>59726259
>90$
>for AN ENTIRE WEEK OF FOOD
Jesus Christ, that's more than enough money for a MONTH of food, you fuckwit.
Buy some rice and potatoes. Bread. Deviled ham. Vegetables. Cheap (near expiry) chicken. Eggs.
Like, God damn. Stop buying McDonald's every meal and you'll be fine. Hell, even if you DID get McD's for every meal you'd still have money left over.
>>59727626
>Hell, even if you DID get McD's for every meal you'd still have money left over.
He most likely would, lots of poor people in the US subsist on McDonald's dollar menu.
Definitely not healthy, though.
>>59727552
Working for minimum wage do not rent accommodation. They live with their parents.
>>59727609
Canned produce proteins for body and I do not think that they are expensive.
How do you not have a Desperation Pantry of rice, beans and spices already
>>59727583
Probably Williamsburg, cause he just don't give a fuck
>>59727518
Like I said, I personally need much more calories than the average person. My minimum spending a day on food would be about 20 bucks and that's on generic af food like homemade bagels.
>>59727552
Food in Russia is very cheap
>>59727583
Gravesend. 1.4k a month. Not a shabby place but still fucking expensive.
>>59727626
Thank you for your helpful advice
CHIcken and rice, as others have said.
>>59727683
Fuck you, my rent is more than that and I live in a shitty area.
On the other hand, I also probably get paid way more than you, so never mind.
>>59727658
It is a good country where fulltime work at minimum wage cant afford rent. I like it, poor.
>>59727683
What do you eat? Sounds like you eat at least double what the average person does.
>>59727683
is that "need" or "want". because i'm a 6'2'' male and you seem to "need" more food than me
>>59727683
>Food in Russia is very cheap
Only potatos are cheap, but it is not very good to eat only potatos. Probably rice, vegetables and chicken are more than enough for one week and I will not believe you it cost more than 90 dollar
I'm off to buy some bread, rice, and chicken. Should cost me about 10-12 bucks and last me until the end of the next week.
Thank you all so much for the advice. I love you all. Good thing the supermarket near me is 24/7 cause I'm hungry af. Hope I don't get mugged.
>>59727801
Shit load of carbs. All I can say.
>>59727844
Actual need. Warm weather is coming and you can still see my gross ribs poking out :(
>>59727849
Not sure about Moscow but my grandparents live in Sochi. The retirement money is not much but it is still good enough for all good portions of food.
>Food in Russia is very cheap
30-50% cheaper

You'd be surprised how little a person needs food. Gulag prisoners ate half the food than you and worked seven days a week for several years.

Sheeeeeit. I live in the Bronx and have 1000$ left at the end of the month. I don't know how you're managing with 90$

Nigger if you were in the midwest like me, you would have more than enough to make it through the week.
Why is New York so expensive?
>>59728164
It's an Alpha++ city, and the only other one in the world is officially a muslim mecca. But seriously, an Alpha++ city is incredibly desirable. Competition breeds high prices
do you enjoy living there?
Why not live somewhere else that's cheaper

How much are fruit and vegetables there?
Get frozen snap beans 1kg/ ~2lbs, get a chicken breast 1lbs add two carrots an onion (optional only if you like onions i like them, but prefer it without), and some hot sauce you have lying about, and you've got food for 2-3 days. I made this last week, cost me about 10$.
Healthy, nutritious, good for weight, constipation, just enough protein and carbs.

I think sardines offer the best bang for your buck in terms of Nutrients / $
Almots 90 gr of protein and a lot of healthy fats in a large can for cheap

Do you not own a crock pot?
That's cheap good food 101.
Granted it's not fast but you cook in bulk and have leftovers.
Make chili.

you fucking eat yeast, thats worse.

Full milk, coffee, potatoes, sugar, white rice, eggs.
From my knowledge at work I know that the standard, white and preboiled rice is quite stomach filling but quite poor in terms of nutritients. People rather recommend noodles of all kinds and potatoes. Both are heavily flexible for later production, ie you can fry potatoes, serve them with salt and herrings and make a cheap salad of it. Those salads are called "Kartoffelsalat" here in Germany, you can check Google for easy recipes. Most of them contain about 5-6 ingredients only but are both filling and nutrious and when prepared the right amount of salad, you can eat 3 days straight from it.
As for noodles, preparing a simple spaghetti dish is totally easy and doesn't even need that much preparation. Tomato sauce is prepared within 1-2 minutes and for variation you can easily create a sauce made of mushrooms (I prefer fresh ones, but canned ones are fine too).
Highly popular, easy to make and very nutrious are stews. Make sure to use beans, lentils or whatever you like most, you can also mix them if you wish. Check "Eintopf" for German sources and don't forget your potatoes and noodles there. Rice is fine too. When cooked the right amout you can freeze the leftovers for later use, you can quickly heat it up.
Pancakes can be versatile when prepared right. Fry them in a pan, not completely done though, and put some toppings on them, just like you would with a pizza. Add anything you want, including cheese. Complete baking in the oven. Filling them with cheese and whatnot in the pan and complete frying them there is fine too.
Using fresh contents and cooking your own food saves you tons of money.
