Or maybe even cook now?

I'm not sure if this counts as cheap, but I still fry burgers in my pan and cut it up into ground beef for as many sloppy joes as I can make.

Maybe not so cheap nowadays, but when saving money I used to eat a lot of rice + egg where I would essentially scramble the egg into small bits mix it with rice and add some furikake if I was feeling fancy.

Adding some frozen vegetables and diced chicken to instant ramen packages. Chicken bullion stock with some sliced onion makes good poverty soup too

Definitely fried bologna sandwiches. Whenever I'm on a budget it's probably one of the quickest sandwiches you can actually cook. Top it off with a little bit of sliced American cheese and onion too.

You can make a bunch of sandwiches well under $5.

Dried pinto beans (borlotti beans) soaked for 12 hours then boiled for 3 hours with salt added near the end + boiled brown rice.

I did this for a long time:

Boiled brown rice + Cabbage stew (canned tomatoes, onions, cabbage + any other vegetables available) + sardines. Sometimes I'd cook the cabbage without tomatoes and buy sardines in tomato sauce. Sometimes I'd have mackerel instead of sardines.

Probably Corned Beef Hash.
1 tin of corned beef, a medium bag of potatoes and 1 onion. Probably comes to under £5 or just over? and makes a few meals.

sloppily cooked pasta with cold tomato puree from a jar [?] [or whatever it is called in english, I would call it passata]

or just frozen food in a pan.

Oh once I was out of passata and I just ate cooked pasta with random spices sprinkled on top. Not my highest moment.

I don't cook, I hate cooking, it doesn't bring me any joy and the idea of standing in the kitchen for an hour, just to eat something under 15 minutes, drives me crazy.

Yeah...
Cheap meal...
So you slice some bread, take some olive oil on pan
and roat the bread in oil for 5 minutes from both sides,
it is a budget one, if you got some money for egs
you take one egg and put the bread slices in the egg
before roasting it in olive oil, then put some garlig salt on it
here you go...
Next...
Beans with tomato paste,
cheap healty tasty
Next
Vine with lazaniya

Anything rice based is super cheat. Pasta is also very cheap. It's not hard to find 900 grams of dried pasta for $2 which for me 100 grams is enough for a meal. I'd use half that pack mixed in with a $2 can of sauce maybe half a $2 pack of frozen veggies and potential a $5 pack of fake beef, which works out to $1.8 per serving. Without the fake beef it's 45 cents, although then you're missing protein.

@Szczelajo The secret is to cook for 2-3 meals. It's usually not particularly more time-consuming than cooking 1 meal.

@zombie_pegasus Dried lentils and beans are a lot better than wasting money on rice and pasta which are just empty carbs that just taste good but does nothing of value to your body, if you're trying to survive on a low budget diet while getting all the nutrients you need. Skip the can of sauce too, you don't need that, and buy more of the frozen veggies instead and instead of fake beef buy some real frozen chicken which is cheap

Cook up ground beef and pour country baked beans in, heat and eat. Not that cheap though but it is filling and makes a few meals.

Heating olive oil destroys the polyphenols I think though. Olive oil is best used cold. I put it in smoothies sometimes. For cooking up eggs you are better off using clarified avocado oil, it has a smoke point of 500°F / 260°C when clarified. But price wise you can make your own ghee from butter if you cant get the clarified avocado oil cheap.

@NS2D "Empty carbs doing nothing to your body" sounds like you're trying to starve yourself. Sure, you can just eat nothing and die, but if you want to survive for cheap then carbs are the best way. Beans might have more nutrients, but you still have to eat more of them to get more calories. I'm also definitely not buying any actual meat. Getting enough calories is important on a low budget, and having a body is good for your body. When I do have beans it is generally combined with rice. I feel a bit bloated if I have a meal of only beans and you need quite a lot of beans if you're trying to get enough food without any normal carbs.

Unless you're in a crisis situation where food overall is scarce you have no need for them

Yes, and don't get me wrong things like beans and lentils got really bad bio efficiency and the human body can't really absorb a lot of the good things that they contain so they're just a temporary measure in a time of crisis

Then you better hope that the world stays as stable as it is because meat, yoghurt, eggs, and other milk and meat related products are the basis of what humans need. Do you think the steppe Mongols got their calories from boiling spaghetti?

Nutrients is more important than calories. Calories are near impossible to be certain on and actually measure. Many food labels are quite far off on calorie count,

You don't fry eggs in 260°C, olive oil is fine for cooking most things. It's a skill issue if you get it to its smoke point, which isn't even very low.

Rice and smoked oysters. Put s little bit of furikake on the rice and drain the oil from the oyster tin and pour in some soy sauce, also put soy sauce on the rice. The most expensive thing there is the oysters at ~$2.50 a can. I don't consider the cost of the other ingredients cause I always have it around the house.

@NS2D Living without any kind of simple carbs is really expensive. If you're actually trying to live on a budget and maintain a specific weight then you can't just go keto. If you look at what people eat while trying to conserve money it is generally carb heavy. We like to villainize carbs because we live in a time of abundance, but carbs are essential.

Also, we can only eat so much meat now because of our farming practices. People didn't eat so much meat in the past, they couldn't afford to. It's only been a staple recently because of how much we're able to farm. Asia only has so many people now because of rice. You simply can't get enough calories to live off of animal products alone unless you have the insane farms we do today. Back in the day rice was the best option, and they'd use animal products sparingly. They're more nutrient dense, but they're also way more labour and resource intense to farm. You can't have an army fed off of only beef, you'd be broke before the enemy had a chance to fire.

@traed Obviously you still need to worry about your micronutrients, but it's just harder to get enough calories without some kind of carb dense food, at least on a budget. Oil obviously has even more calories, but that has no micronutrients, while something like rice or potatoes at least comes along with some things you might not be getting from your protein. Your body also doesn't really function properly without carbs, which is why people on the keto diet tend to lose weight as well as feeling a bit drowsy and nauseous.

Every time you eat potatoes you are eating small amounts of a neuro toxin. More if they turn green under the skin.

Carbs are just energy storage that last longer than sugar because they have to be broken down into glucose. You can just directly consume glucose syrup in proper quantities or drink fat free milk to get the lactose which will convert to glucose. Without much glucose your body simply converts to ketone production and uses ketones for cellular energy. Though rarely some people never go into ketosis which can be fatal so they should ideally take a ketone test to know they are producing ketones. People lose weight on keto because they are eating less calories. As I explained before though you can't rely too much on what food labels say since calorie count of food can vary, you have to instead monitor your body fat percentage and your weight.

Yeah, whatever. The "quality" of the olive oil is best when the oil isn't even used orally, but that doesn't mean it has no place in your kitchen.

None of that is relevant since I can just not burn my eggs and go above the smoke point in the first place.

I would agree with you but with the price increases in recent years I think a carb heavy diet might actually be more expensive

And most importantly it wasn't efficient. Why eat the meat of the animal when you can use the eggs they lay or the milk they produce and feed your village and tribe for far longer, and all you have to give up in return is some grassland that they eat

These days with advanced agricultural machinery yes, but back then it would be a lot easier to feed people by herding livestock and hunt than to plant massive farms which required entire villages to work on them

@NS2D I mean, you need far more massive farms to keep animals. The food per acre is pretty bad. It makes sense to keep some around, for things like eggs and milk, but because it takes so much land and water to support animals it makes sense for most of your food to come from plants. For hunter gatherers generally it was mostly fruits and nuts that they got most of their calories from and they got some from meat and wild grain. Every step in the food chain food is lost, so if you are growing crops specifically to be fed to animals instead of to yourself then you're only getting a small percentage of the nutrients those crops are giving. Animals are often happy to eat things we aren't, though, which is why some people keep animals like chickens and goats around to eat food waste and turn it into more food.

A huge percentage of the environmental impact of animal farming is deforestation because it's incredibly land inefficient to do. For smaller collections of humans it doesn't matter as much as there's probably land available that they don't need for houses or crops, but for big populations it's not sustainable to get a big percentage of your food from meat.

Not really related to historical sustainability, but in the US often they use alfalfa to feed lifestock specifically because it wastes the most water, for weird legal reasons, which artificially makes meat even worse for the planet than it has to be.

None of that is relevant since I can just not burn my eggs and go above the smoke point in the first place.

Dont tell me you're giving yourself olive oil enemas.

I still cook this but it was macaroni noodles with canned tomatoes. The fresh tomatoes are bad, only the canned tomatoes that are diced. It tastes so good with salt added

Ugh, no?? Where did that even come from, lol. I mean like olive oil isn’t just edible, but also medicinal, topical, historical. It’s been rubbed on skin, burned in lamps... and yes, probably used by some 1960s housewife as lubricant at some point, sure. Like, what did you expect people to do back then, order lube on Amazon? Did you know... back then many sexual wellness products were actually illegal in some parts of the U.S. under the Comstock laws?? Now, admittedly, I've never tried or advise using it for that purpose, but the point is, olive oil is one of the products that have really built our civilization if you think about it. If aliens come to Earth, they'd probably want to study olive oil and how amazing it is in order to understand more about us. Olive oil is the best.

Well you did say it's quality is best when not oral. Taking it in a pill or something is still orally and youd die if you injected it so since I was talking about certain qualities like the polyphenols I thought you meant other ways lol On the skin it was used by Greeks as a sunscreen but it's like only SPF 5. I have olive body wash and stuff like that but i doubt it does better at moisturizing than some other things. Im not sure what much it would do for skin.

I liked this thread.

Up until a few years ago, I still made sandwiches with cheese and sauce, and baked them. Like the poor man's version of pizza with different kinds of bread since I never learned to make dough.

I also think one of the simplest meals you can ever make that's cheap is just a standard pot of beans with salt and pepper. Will probably cost you less than two bucks.

The cheapest I have ever cooked is during Covid I bought 20 cent noodle packs in Tesco.
I didn't even cook it, I ate it raw for months.
