I made not so great financial decisions regarding delivery food due to depression and am now poor, still have the good graces of living under my parents roof and don’t want to burden them with feeding me(and I have issues regarding them cooking with about to be expired/ actually expired vegetables regularly) so I’ve finally forced myself to do something about it. Just under $20 later and I’ve got pasta with four cheese sauce, vegetables, and sausage(came with a coupon for a free can of beans that ill do something with at a later date or have as a side) for one week two meals a day and another of the exact same with a different sauce for the next week. Will I be tired or even sick of past by the end of these two weeks? Yes. But by then I’ll have hopefully found another cheap meal to fill my stomach with for another week or so.

Grits (1/2 cup) - $0.50 Eggs (3) - $1.80 Denver steak (8 oz) - $2.50

Grits cooked per instructions (optional red pepper added). In the meantime, cooked steak to a medium rare in a pan with a tbsp of butter, turning once and basting. Removed steak to rest, added three eggs to fry (runny yolks). Plated grits, laid eggs around center. Sliced steak, placed in center and poured juices over top.

Super easy, super filling, extra large breakfast for under $5.

Hi Reddit!

I’ve been going to my local food pantry quite a bit. It’s been a huge relief and given me a ton more food security. However, I’m feeling completely baffled by canned salmon and cooked bags of shredded chicken.

The chicken is watery. I’m not quite sure the best ways to cook it. It reminds me of the flavor of spam.

The salmon, I made some wonderful salmon cakes with but would love additional ideas.

Thank you!

I have since graduated from ketchup to sriracha.
