Good Eats For Broke People?

[Dan87]

you buy one of the tiny loafs which is like a foot and a half and you can make 3 6 inch subs or since OP says hes fat he can make 1 sub either way

Chicken and potatoes. Both are dirt cheap, and chicken is always on sale somewhere. Drumsticks for 70 cents a pound isn't unheard of. Whole fryer is really cheap too, just gotta wash and maybe cut it.

Throw the chicken in a baking pan, bake till done -- 350 or 375 should be good, turning once or twice. Put under broiler to crisp the skin for the last minute or so, but watch like a hawk -- goes from golden brown to black almost instantly. Throw the potatoes in with the chicken at the start.

Fry onions. Adds great taste, hard to screw up unless you're stupid, costs close to nothing. Adding in a little mushrooms or green pepper works great too, and doesn't cost much.

If you cook for yourself, food is really, really cheap, even compared to fast food dumps. And it's almost impossible to make food that tastes worse than fast food.

Sounds more like a book than real life. Alcohol is mostly gone through evaporation pretty quick.

pot noodles is a known fact for Uni students in UK to eat as they are so cheap if you buy them in big packs.. and they taste nice..

Im glad i never resorted to a diet of pot noodles - though beef and tomato (and cancer) and the curry flavour is quite nice.

Go to a supermarket, buy their budget range stuff.

Fave meal when i was on a super tight budget. Frozen sausages were 30 for a pound (mums go to iceland), pasta was 17p for a pack and sauce was like 20p a jar (tesco value range). Great combo meal, tasted pretty good and ran uber cheap.
