Guest theSun Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 there once was a time when i worked at a gas station and ate little debbie snacks for meals. on good days, i could afford cheetos crackers n cheese and perhaps a drink. but i'm looking for more. a hot meal for a dollar gives me a boner. so i'm eating some box mac n cheese i got at aldi's for under a dollar. plenty of food for me and the girl for dinner, plus we'll supplement with some of whatever else is around. there are also the instant potatoes at aldi's that are <$1 as well. the third level of eating a meal for a dollar comes from my dad, and one i hope will inspire everyone to be a cheap ass motherfucker. it's tomato paste, potatoes and whatever meat/corn/peppers/whatever you want to throw in. almost like chili, but not really. he made roughly 10 servings for like $6. add some cheese and you're fucking set. what else can i make in large quantities for absurdly small amounts of moneys? halp me wattum Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/59775-meals-for-a-dollar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hanratty Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 bad idea. just save up your dough and buy quality stuff like blueberries/broccoli/bananas/etc. read the Ganghi biography to find out what he ate each day (not much but it was quality) cheap is cheap.

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 A big bag brown rice (healthy and tastier than white rice IMHO) is cheap as fuck and can make a lot of food. Add a few things in there for flavor and your eating on the cheap cheap.
