my dinner for the past week...

[dead_head]

.... has consisted of bananas, hot pockets, and lettuce.


Has anyone had a weird diet due to being broke. if so what was/is it?

[soup is good food]

Ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen, and what's more - more ramen.

If you want a good low budget alternative to nasty-ass, horrible for you "hot pockets," try Mrs. T's Cheddar and Potato Pierogies - boil in water for 5 minutes or fry 'em up in a pan. The other great equalizer is spaghetti: lots 'o food for cheap.
Paul Newman Sauce - proceeds go to charity.

I have big burlap bags of rice. You get use to it.

[xdipsomaniacx]

Do "they" make you work harder with a gun in your back for bowl of it a day?

can of tuna- .60 = 2 samiches
almost expired chicken legs- < 2.00 = 1 decent dinner w rice
mac n cheese, 3 for 1.00
1 Lb. crap bologna = 1.00 at gas station = 3 samiches
frozen Veg, buy lots when on sale-

lots of water

I fucking hate Ramen, but add tofu, and you got a cheap lunch.

After burning out years ago, I'd rather eat my shoes than ramen.

Using Ramen as a substitute for rice, it's good, like with chicken, steamed vegetables and terriyaki sauce. mmmm...

my broke meals throughout my life have been cereal and eggs with rice (scrambled or sunny side/over easy)

im a vegeterian and i have no idea if they make veggie ramen

[SkullyHB]

When I was really broke, it was always pasta. At least 4 times a week. I eventually grew to hate pasta - I called it 'failure food'. Once I had enough money again, I would refuse to have it anymore - which sucks for my girlfriend because she's italian and loves the stuff.

Now, thanks to the 99 cent store, chicken nuggets and fries are usually the default 'I have no cash' dinner - about $1.50 for 2 people. Yum.

Ramen is a wheat based noodle. So unless you purchase roast ox flavored ramen, or you accidentally purchase "ramen" style beef entrails, I think you will be fine.

I think she means the meat flavoring packets, which do contain meat.

Roast Ox Flavored Ramen

Roast Ox Flavored Ramen

For some reason Ox just doesn't sound like an appetizing meat. Maybe because I just keep picturing Babe the big blue Ox :confused:

MR. Soupy Sales:
You are a shit disturber....:rolleyes:

[xdipsomaniacx]

It's funny because I was just laughing at a post another thread just the other day about how surprised someone was that they were vegetarian and found out that ramen contained meat. What, with flavors like 'beef' and 'chicken', they contain meat?:confused:

[Alex666]

Ive been eating nothin but nachos and chips and salsa for the past month. now my B.O. smells like corn chips. Thinkin bout switchin to Ramen

[scum and villainy]

Popcorn and pretzels are all that occupy my cabinet at the moment. Not too much fun.:(

[joaquin]

ramen without the nasty flavor packet, then add some peas or corn and margarine/soy sauce packets/ whatevers around. i'll even eat it sometimes when i dont have to, its good.

[joaquin]

theyre all vegetarian if you dont use the flavor packet, but they do make a mushroom flavor one that has no meat.

[Johnny Running Shoes]

The only problem with ramen is that the flavour packet has like 1200 mg of sodium....enough to preserve a body for years...lol Peanut butter is always a good source of cheap protein.....:cool:

i was actually thinkin about the cup O noodles ramen. i dont usually eat the packets

[joaquin]

oh hell no! those are gross!and more expensive than the brick ramen noodle packages that give you the option of using the bullion packet.

[thebigother]

Luckily I work in the food service industry and both of my jobs inculde a staff meal, so even when I'm broke I still eat fairly well. Hell, even when I'm not broke I don't even bother to buy groceries most of the time.

[opfiend]

i'm also a vegetarian. i'm pretty sure they don't make any vegetarian in the cups. but oriental in the packets is what i eat. it's the only veggie friendly kind.
