Hey pol i'll keep this short I got laid off and will be making significantly less at my new job. I don't want to go on welfare like some fucking parasite. What poverty-tier food should be buying and cooking? I remember someone on here talking about something similar a few days ago.
>>70773470
ramen
but get the stuff from the asian food section, it's way better
Maruchan Ramen in bags not cups
Potatos
Bulk cereal
Beans
Rice
Multi vitamin
Keep all of that in stock then buy meat and dairy as you see fit.
>>70773795
Thanks bro. Do potatoes go bad quickly? I'll only be cooking for myself and have had food rot before I've been able to cook it.
>>70773470
Bread is pretty cheap, the store brand that I get is ~$1.50 for a loaf, and that loaf lasts me a week or more.
Eggs are about $2 a dozen where I live.
I buy instant oatmeal which I think is around $1.50 for a box with 6 packets. I've never looked into whether or not loose oats are cheaper, but they very well might be, so look into that as well.
The rest of what I eat is beans (I get black beans 3 cans for $2), yogurt cups (5 for $3), rice (IIRC it's around $2 for a two-pound bag), and of course, instant ramen.
>>70773586
>but get the stuff from the asian food section, it's way better
Most of that shit is around a dollar a pack. At that point you're better off just buying something else.
>>70773586
Tone it down, weeb. Not everyone wants scurvy because they need to emulate their animes.
>>70773795
Most of this is decent but for flavour just buy onions and powdered stock so that everything doesn't taste like bland shit.
Depending where you are some other vegetables may be cheap also and worth getting.
>>70773470
Try this:

Thanks to gmo foods and Monsanto we've actually had falling food prices in recent years. I'm on the poverty diet as well. Like others have said - eggs, bread, peanut butter, frozen chicken breasts are great too.
I appreciate it fellas. I know this isn't politics related, but pol is my safe space.

Potatoes are a good food mate. If you buy 50 cent spices you can make a days worth of hashbrowns, baked potatoes, mash potatoes or french fries. Im actually a poorfag spic and i just lived off cajun hashbrowns this entire week.

Shop at Aldi.
Thank me later.
>>70774651
Just got eggs for 74 cents a dozen. Good source of protein and essential nutrients. OP look for sales on frozen and fresh vegetables as they are nutritious and fill you up pretty easily. Chicken, Eggs, Veggies, and Rice are all fairly cheap depending on your locale.
>>70774137
Buy the smaller bags of potatoes. Or, if you've got a decent grocer, you can buy single large potatoes.
you can get a lot of mileage out of onions
>>70773470
Lots of bread. Go to your local bakery. Mine has massive loaves for like $1.
>>70774137
>Do potatoes go bad quickly?
You have to store it in a way so it doesn't turn green. Once it turns green or starts sprouting, you can't eat it or it'll be bad for you. Even if it takes a lot to get any kind of immediate bad effects, it's still advised not to eat potatoes that is turning green/sprouting Also, don't buy taters that are already green/sprouting
Here's some reading material on taters:

Also, if you cut a potato in half, but didn't use the other half for that particular meal (but plan on using it on a later meal), squeeze and rub lemon juice on it. It seals the cut area and prevents the cut area from turning brown or black.

NUMBER ONE RULE: DO NOT EAT OUT EVER
Seriously, don't fucking do it. The whole "poor people can't afford to eat healthy!" is just a myth concocted to excuse massively disproportionate obesity rates among blacks. They're fat because they have a lack of agency and because buying McD's is EASIER, not cheaper, than preparing your own food.
Things change depending on exactly how poor you are. The best bang-for-your-buck is going to be those giant bags of rice and dried beans. They cost pennies for like a month's worth of food. Potatoes are dirt cheap as well. There are a reason why things like potatoes, rice, beans, lentils, etc have always been stereotypical poor people food; they're cheap nutritious and filling. Just make sure to get some cheap spices to make the food not-bland.
Milk, eggs, and peanutbutter come next on the list. Excellent sources of nutrition and calories. When I was a broke grad student with no time, I drank shitloads of milk because it was cheap, convenient, and I met my protein goals because I've always been into lifting.
And you can still buy meat too. Chicken is $2 per lb for thighs and breast boneless skinless. And it's cheaper if you buy whole-birds. And you can use the carcass to make soup.

Where I live, I can get english chuck beef for $2.88 a pound. If you season that up right and coat it in salt for about 2 hours, you can cook it like a steak and it's still pretty good. After the 2 hour salt coating you'll need to rinse the salt off of it and pat it dry again. The salt draws out the funky tasting juice and helps loosen up the meat so it's a little more tender.
Split peas and beans are about $1 per pound bag, a big bag of onions is $1-$3, and 10lbs of corn flour can be had for $5.
Cheapest meat is usually sausage and bone in hams.
I'm making the assumption you're le big guy so here's some prices/quantities for a month.
30 lbs split peas and lentils-$30
5 bags onions-$15
20lbs corn flour-$10
30lbs bone in ham-$50
10 loaves French bread-$10
2lbs butter-$6-$10
$125 for a month eating a shit ton of food a day.
Most americucks spend more in week.
Don't buy anything premade and forget the ramen, thats just carbs and salt.
Chicken, veggies rice or beans.
Chicken is the cheapest meat in the store. most veggies are 1.50-2.00 per lb. get a 1/2 lb of a few different things and make stir fry.

Well in that case, it's a win-win. Learning how to cook and eat well on a shoestring budget is honestly a really good life skill to have and builds character, to say something that's dad-core as fuck.
My condolences about getting laid off. That shit fucking sucks. My best bro recently found out that he's going to get laid off from DuPont due to the buy-out after working there for decades. It's never happened to me specifically, but I've known plenty of people to know that feel. I hope things look brighter in the future

Go to a Walmart Supercenter between 6am and 7am and buy up all the cheap yellow tag expiring meats you can. The workers tag it around 6am
only thing i havent seen on here is tuna fish. i read a thread like this once and decided to try and eat like a poor person for as long as i could to see if i could save money. lasted maybe a week. found out that dropping tuna fish in ramen tastes pretty much like chicken. also found out that spending the extra money on good food that i like is totally worth it and not really that much more expensive.

>>70778274
tuna fish isn't actually that cheap though. If you total up the cost, it typically comes out to be about 4-5 bucks per lb. Chicken is half that.
Personally if I were going to spend 4 bucks per lb on meat, I'd get some beef. Tuna is good for convenience though
>>70778419
Nice! I go almost every other morning and raid the yellow tags. Once I got 3 packs of those precooked ribs for $3.75 each. Usually $10 each. I ate for a week off those

split red lentils.
Get some spices, and vegetable/chicken broth, and you'll eat cheaply and get alot of nutrition to boot. It has alot of protein if you are concerned about that.
>>70778467
Memes aside, soylent is needlessly expensive. It costs 9 dollars per day. That may not sound like much, but compare that to actually buying real food from a grocery store
>>70773470
oats, eggs, milk, navy beans, cabbage for vitamin c and good poops, canned spinach. its an old multivarate optimization problem from back before niggas had 3.0 cpus and solver add in.
Here's from a guy who majorly fucked up nutrition when I moved out even though I could afford anything
Buckwheat (or rice) - cheap as fuck, and you NEED fiber. Can't stress this enough, you want to be healthy you need fiber and bread alone wont ever be enough
Veggies - also important as fuck, you need tomatoes, corn, cuckumbers, occasional carrot and maybe an apple a day. Broccoli is pretty good too.
Potatoes - cheap as fuck, fibrous, nutritious, good filler stock up on these
Meat - you need this, you can wing it with chicken, one breast is enough for two meals if you're not a fat fuck
You need to take care of your intestinal flora which will deplete FAST if you eat shit, so take care to gulp down yoghurt and shit, it will keep your guts functional and without it you're in a world of shit
These are basic pointers so bear in mind the above and check out your local store, pick out whats cheap, avoid heavily processed meat
I learned the hard way and it took time to reboot my shit
>>70779052
lentils are bro food, great for proteins, great for pooping.

I used to not know those were things, but one just opened near me about a year ago.
Get yourself those salad bags at the grocery store that contain the sauce/mixed nuts inside of a smaller bag inside.
Combine those with pre-packaged and precooked meats (which usually are left near those salad bags since they're complementary items) and you can get a pretty decent and cheap meal for around 7 bucks. This salad has your protein and your veggie vitamin whatevers.
Another good candidate for a healthy and cheap alternative to real food is canned Campbell's soup.
My go to soups usually are Itallian Wedding or Rice and Chicken. I sometimes get the chicken corn chowder, chilli, or the beefaroni, but that's a bit more expensive and I save for special occasions.
You pay too much in taxes to not take some welfare while other lazy shits do. It's made for people like you.
>>70776548
Another thing to note is that if you have a bunch of sprouted potatoes inside of a cabinet or a bag, DO NOT inhale deeply while around those materials. The gas produced by potato sprouts is just as toxic to you as the potatoes themselves. There have been cases of people opening up potato bags with old/rotten/sprouted potatoes and getting a big whiff and dying/severely injuring themselves because of it.
>>70776200
Do I have to do anything special to use food banks?? I just spent 4 months unemployed and depleted all of my savings. I have a job now as of last month. I'm not in total poverty, but im not making near as much and it would be nice to save a little bit of money in case I need it again..

Guys, I've never had an egg. What the fuck does it taste like.
compare powdered whole milk and bottled milk, the former doesnt taste as nice but it might be way cheaper per serving, it stores for a really long time and easy to get used to
buy some flaxseed/ chia and sprinkle that shit on your veggie salads/ oats if you are doing healthy. Its full of vitamins and not super expensive. I also buy mixed nuts and crush them to use as toppings for breakfast. Its costs next to nothing per sprinkle but its supposed to be good for you
>>70776242
Cubed stew meat is cheapish. Plus if you get a food processor from Goodwill you can make your own ground beef. What I usually do is buy a pound of ground beef, a few pounds of ground turkey, mix them, then cook, and freeze.

NO. Ramen is a rip off. It's 1$ for something that doesnt even fill you up.
A bag of LENTILS is 1$ and if you fix the whole bag it is enough for 2 meals.
I often take frozen chicken thighs and cook it with the lentils.
Here is a simple recipe:
NEED:
>a decent sized pot
>bag of lentils
>frozen boneless chicken
>seasonings of your choice but if you ruin it with shit seasoning that's your fault
NEXT:
>put frozen chicken and lentils into pot
>fill with water
>turn on the fucking stove til it boils
>turn it down to a soft boil
>wait til the shit is done cooking you piece of shit
>eat it
Also for me personally I mix in a chopped raw onion in it after it is done cooking.

10 pound bags of frozen chicken legs & thighs. They come off of older chickens that no longer lay eggs. about 49 cents a pound. Also buy generic frozen mixed veggies.
Boil a pc of chicken, set it aside to cool. scrape the foam shit off of the water. Pour in some ramen noodles and veggies and a little bit of the flavoring. pull meat off of the chicken and throw in there. It is really good. I lived off of it in college.
Also, 1 box mac and cheese. 1 can cream of mushroom soup. 1 can peas. 1 can tuna fish (protien 50 cents a can)
boil noodles. drain. add cheese shit and tuna. stir. Add soup, stir. add peas and stir but do nto break peas. Tuna casserole enough for 3 meals.
>>70773470
Red Lentils at Trader Joe's -- one pound bag is less than two bucks and lasts for a week or more. Mainstream groceries are starting to carry them.
Splurge for the packet of fresh herbs at the local mainstream grocery, for two bucks you should be able to get a poultry variety pack.
About five to six bucks for good stock like Kitchen Selects.
Fifty cents for a baby can of tomato paste.
Maybe switch out chicken stock with red pepper soup.
Cook in a largish saucepan -- bring stock or soup to boil then simmer for about a half hour. The flavor you get from the fresh herbs will justify the expense and exceed any procesed food. Package in two-cup Pyrex or Anchor bowls with rubber lids, they can be used to store, reheat and serve, and are like three bucks each.
After that, spring water (a dollar a gallon or less), hormone free whole milk (three dollars the half gallon), kefir (three dollars a quart), and celery and cabbage for about three dollars a unit, and canned tuna, salmon and herring for seventy cents to three bucks a can.
Hey presto, this is actually what you're supposed to eat, and it's maddeningly cheap.

I'm poor, but I still shop at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods exclusively. Really good tips ITT.
Always buy what's on sale, stockpile if you can on really good buys. A lot of stuff will go on sale at Whole Foods that costs the same as Kroger ect and it's organic. They don't go on sale as often, but when they do, you need to buy that shit up.
Never, ever eat out. It's terrible for you and it's expensive. Never waste anything, don't let anything spoil. Be very aware of expiration dates and freezing/preserving your food.

You should write a cookbook anon... Prolly sell a million copies.
>>70773470
spaghetti on sale, load up
spaghetti sauce: prego w/meat, mix with store brand for savings
quick-cooking oatmeal in a big container (pic)
pancake syrup for the oatmeal for sweet taste
chicken on sale (cheap as shit, cook at 350°)
kraft barbecue sauce for the chicken
bags of store-brand corn ($2 from giant)
butter and salt for the corn, for taste and fat
also, buy some cheap candy that you like to eat after meals, as a treat.
>>70788714
I'm tellin you guys
it's cheaper to just not get any sugars at all, and get most if not all your carbs from vegetables, legumes, roots, etc
why is it cheaper? fills you up wayyyy more. if you keep your carbs really low and your sugar below 15g a day, you will have perpetual energy because your body is burning fat you have and fat you eat.
Surprised no one has mentioned it. Stir Fry Negro. Look up some basic sauce mixes and make your own. Dice up some vegetables and precook some chicken on Sundays. A good wok ful usually lasts me a week.
>>70776169
make sure you drink a gallon of water a day, flush that shit right out
>>70786798
yea but IT'S PEOPPLLEEE
>>70773470
Step 1) Have wealthy parents
Step 2) Have generous parents (step 2 is important)
Step 3) Receive money from parents (preferably $300 per week for spending - this is what I do. Obviously they also pay for rent and bills.)
Step 4) Buy whatever you like (but try to keep it nutritious)
If you follow the above you can eat very well and pay for a gym membership (and lots of other fun stuff!) Tonight I made lamb that I bought from whole foods - delicious! I made too much but I don't own Tupperware. Had to throw out the leftovers. Sad!
I already have chicken in the freezer but I couldn't pass up $2 a day pre-spiced ribs.
yummmm

Do you live in Los Angeles or something? I've eaten at (admittedly shitty) Chinese buffets for less than $7.
>>70789305
the ranch 99 buffet is literally less than 3 dollars hahahaha
>>70789305
it's not 7 bucks, I have some of those, they last abouit a week or more (eat one every morning)
>>70788002
I learned the other day that a McDonald's hamburger can have the meat of 100 different cows and that dementia deaths have risen exponentially since the formation of the factory farms in the 70s.
Despite the CDCs claims that mad cow never reached the US dementia deaths have increased 2000% since the 80s, as if diabetes and obesity wasn't bad it might turn out that industrial beef will turn your brain into mush too :/
Learn some crockpot recipes and make good food that'll last you all week.
Once the weather warms up, I plan on fishing for keeps and freezing the filets. Only problem is I don't own a vacuum sealer
>>70788002
Wolf isn't very good eating. A buddy of mine ate a feral dog in SERE school, but I would avoid eating scavenging canines. I have had bear, was sorta odd.
Yeah, the roadkill deer was opportunity meat. Was coming home after work at eleven at night, so I am outside doing a hasty skin and butcher job with a headlamp and a 8" Victorinox boning knife. Backstraps, tenderloin, both hams, then started working on the haunches and such. Borrowed a friend's grinder for that. Got about twenty of ground and ten of good tender meat, but hell, it was free. Hadn't done one in a couple years.

Oh shit, what? I've been cutting off the sprouts and eating the potatoes for years. Sheeeit.

Why don't you just try it? With the money you'll save you'll wonder why you've never done it.

>>70773470
pasta with cheap sauce is decent. I personally don't like ramen, so I get some kind of pasta with sauce on sale instead. costs $2.50 for a jar of pasta sauce and a pound of pasta, which is easily 3-4 meals with homemade garlic bread on the side (cheap garlic butter recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/garlic-butter-recipe.html)
>>70789733
They've found mad cow in a West Coast slaughterhouse. The day they found it, they shut down inspection and continued processing.
hey op, if you have a yard, get a chicken or two.
i eat a lot of eggs and those chickens have been amazing. i have two and between them i get about 8 eggs a week. big ass fat brown ones, too.
i used to make 3-4 egg omelettes with the white store bought eggs but now i can barely finish a 2 egg omelette because the eggs are bigger.
and shit, the chickens were ten bucks each. the mexican threw in some milk crates to work as an improvised coop.
>>70773470
Potatoes
>>70777857
I'm no expert, but the cheaper cuts of meat are best used in stews where you fry up some onions, and garlic if you like it, brown the meat on all sides(helps to cut it up a bit too) then put it in a casserole dish with some chopped celery and carrots, salt and pepper, cover with water, maybe add a stock cube, maybe some herbs and cook it low and slow in the oven
don't forget to deglaze your pan with a little water, tons of flavor in there
>>70789923
> Only problem is I don't own a vacuum sealer
Put the fish in a freezer bag and cover it with water. The water prevents freezer burn.
>>70790030
As long as the potato is still firm, it's OK to cut off sprouts and eat the remaining part.
>>70773586
This, but throw in other stuff too. Baked Chicken + Indo-Mie Noodles = delicious, cheap dish. I like to throw in veggies when I can, but even on its own its great.
>>70776354
I second this
>>70773470
Brown rice, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, and canned fish. Canned fish is fine as long as the selenium content is higher than the mercury content.
This thread is relevant to me. Technically homeless living in my car ATM.
I have a job just not enough money right now.
>>70790809
Living out of car is actually smart and I used to do it. Get a 24hr gym membership for showers and working out, and some even have microwaves and a lounge area. Rent is a total waste of money.
>>70775818
>Tomato juice
Not a vegetable.
>>70785485
>boiling chicken
>>70783738
this doesn't sound too bad, except it is more flavorfull to brown your onions in a fry pan and a little oil first, then brown off the DEFROSTED chicken, adding some carrots and celery is popular for a reason.
the holy trinity of french cooking is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirepoix_(cuisine)
then you either simmer on the hob, or put it in the oven on fairly low heat for a few hours
simmering on the hob can cause the bottom layer to stick and burn
and always always deglaze your frying pan
>>70790507
Yep
Top 3 dishes for me:
Chili
Shepard's pie
Pork Tenderloin with Russet potatoes
Favorite fucking dishes and they are pretty cheap and go far.
Potatoes, beans, rice.
Not sure about living space, but also start a garden in potted plants.
Also buy a egg laying hen.
>>70786340
kek that was my first thought
>>70790809

Not him, I've actually thought about getting an RV and just living in it and biking/walking to work so nobody knows. But no woman would ever, ever want to have sex in it and I'd look like the biggest faggot loser.
>>70775711
This. Take the welfare. As long as you spend it on food and not on alcohol and drugs you are doing the right thing.
What is the point of buying cheap food, if it is going to be probably unhealthy in the long run? And the medical costs are going to be higher than what you saved on food.
>>70776354
>this
Also if you have a GFS anywhere near you check it out.
>>70776354
THIS, its cheap and mostly organic or at least healthier than most processed versions. Also cheap. They have canned spam there that is actually REALLY good and not salty at all. Tastes great on a sandwich grilled and I hate spam normally.
For example, boneless chicken breasts cost an average of $3.27 per pound nationwide, while tofu sits around $2 to $2.50 per pound,
Tofu is a godsend meat substitute and it's cheaper and if you know how to use it right (like browning it in a stir-fry) its fantastic

>>70791957
as long as its not a gross RV most women wont have a problem with it. you have a job and you COULD afford an appt but an RV has about the same amount of room. just say you travel and camp a lot. bitches love that shit. go drive to the mountains and fuck her to a new view everytime
also you should start growing vegetables ASAP
Unless you live in an apartment then I'm sorry
>>70792195
tofu is shit. I'd rather setup up snares in a park and eat squirrel meat than eat that hippie garbage.
>>70778957
>Vote yourself a raise too. How about some free college?
>>70792365
no one will ever convince me its cheaper to grow than buy veggies
>>70791957
Well not him but im not getting laid anyways and im a fat neckbeard so i dont much care for the already low opinion that others share of me. heh i already live in an old camper on my mothers property. Let me clue you in on a few issues with rvs.
1. Cold as fuck. They are poorly insulated with thin walls. Even the best 4 season is as insulated as a regular 2 x 4 house. Insulated campers typically weigh far to much for the average truck and you end up hauling it with a diesel one ton monster.
2 heating it is a bitch. Most of the propane heaters are vented and waste 1/3 of the fuel venting. Ventless might kill you since its such a small area. The blower also uses a shitload of DC power. Usually 5-8 amps. Meaning unless you have dedicated electric power, the batteries will run dead in less than a night for cold regions.
3. No matter how much you take care of it, if its outside eventually they will leak and its a huge fucking pain to fix that.
Granted my experience is made worse since my camper was 900 bucks and over 25 years old. Also a cheapo unit when it came out.
If i could do it again I would get a much smaller camper thats more modern or a class C or B camper and drive it into town and stay for the week until work is done.
>>70773470
BRO, most grocery chains will have cheap ass chicken breast available. You can get it as low as 1.99/lb. Some places will even sell it to you by the breast, so you can just go in and get a chicken breast for dinner for less than a dollar.
>>70792312
I can guarantee you that 99% of women would turn cold and get turned off the second they realize I live in an RV.
>>70792195
I bought tofu once and it was legit the most revolting food I've ever tried and I eat British food. It looks and tastes like cum jello.
>>70784906
>Meat is expensive, so I suggest tuna and sardines for animal protein
chicken is the cheapest
>>70785485
not knowing that ramen noodles are just fucking noodles, and the flavour sachet is just powdered stock cube/boiulion cube.. both of which are far cheaper purchased separately in bulk
>>70785510
>kefir
wut
>>70785945
so cut it so small you can't see it, or take out the meat and blend the whole thing then put the meat back in, carrots are god tier, you pleb
>>70787040
>Never waste anything, don't let anything spoil. Be very aware of expiration dates and freezing/preserving your food.
good tip, this is why I avoid potatoes and bread, they both seem to go off too quickly compared to pasta and rice
>>70788714
>spaghetti sauce
this is quick, but it's pretty fun to make your own from onions garlic, herbs and chopped tomatos, only takes like 10 minutes
>>70788925
fucking weaboos
stews and casseroles are much more nutritious because it's cooked low and slow in stock, this helps all the flavors to combine. stir frying is dirty gook food and for faggots
>>70789224
>Have wealthy parents
I'll get right on it, good tip anon
>>70789623
salad won't last a week, 2-3 days tops
>>70789809
good tip
>>70790614
and the nice fishy thinks it's still swimming
>>70790679
canned fish is good for you, but chicken is cheaper
>>70791985

Fuck tofu, soy causes cancer out the ass. Hell they invented entire food industries just to sell the shit, it used to be just animal feed. Soy is very bad in men and women in different ways. Causes breast cancer in women. In men it fucks up your hormones.
>>70791957
You wanna feel like a real man then do it or go camping innawoods for a couple months. Also if women are more interested in what you have then they really are not worth the time.
>>70792515
You need to sautee it or add flavoring of some kind while you cook it you retarded ape
>>70790989
>>70790809
Rent is a waste. I would sleep in a tent before I wasted another cent on it. Renting is borrowing a lifestyle you cant afford, if you cant afford a home, set your sites lower. It sucks but the money you save can net you a house. I spent over 50k on rent over the course of 10 years. Thats a small modest house or land and part of a house. What do i have to show for it? nothing.
>>70792611
Because soy contains estrogen-like compounds, there was fear that soy may raise risk of hormone-related cancers. Evidence shows this is not true. Soy’s possible effects on health is an active area of research

might as well get something back for what you pay in.

Whatever, was just trying to help OP.
Its good and cheap if you do it right. Just don't eat it every day for 10 years. You ((might)) get breast cancer

He doesn't want to be a liberal bottom feeder cause he's a real productive human. Pay attention
Legumes, Rice, Potatoes, Green Beans, Peas. You'll will need some other stuff like spices and stuff, if you have spare money go get a bunch of different sauces and shit. You can probably afford cheap beef and chicken cuts. The worst thing is if you can't already cook you will have to eat some shit food if you fuck up.

Some people have pride in themselves and don't want to be disgraced by taking welfare.
My grandfather was a marine that served in the Korean War and was shot in the balls and came back and had my mother. Worked factory jobs and ran a hotel in retirement. Refused to even touch welfare or anything that he didn't pay for like social security.
His daughter, my aunt, on the other hand went on welfare when she was 45 and never worked a job while having 3 kids as a single mother. 3 different fathers too.
>>70794061
Brown uncooked rice is $3 AUD so $2.31 USD for 1KG. You guys should just take metric and stop being fucked. If you do that i'll try and get everyone to use USD.
>>70794061
San Francisco. Sometimes it's on sale for $0.79/lb short grain
>>70794611
Then again Northern California grows most of the rice in the country along with Southern Texas
