What is/ck/'s best struggle meals? I've been living off Costco pepperoni pizza for the last month.

Recently rented increased so need to reduce costs even more.

ground beef burritos with peppers, onions, rice. you can make them for about $1 each. i don't need to save money but i enjoy the dopamine hit of winning the frugal game

>>21520267 (OP)
Rice beans and a portion of the cheapest protein you can get.

>>21520267 (OP)
>pizza for the last month.
honestly, I do not think I could eat the same thing for 30 days in a row. Might be time to move, get a roommate, get a 2nd job or something drastic.

>>21520267 (OP)
i just eat a few spoonfuls of the humble sugar when i'm hungry

>>21520267 (OP)
Mmm look at them hams..

>>21520267 (OP)
Stuff that incorporates things like beans, rice, potatos. Be sure to get some vegetables if you cant get fresh get frozen. Look for cheap chicken like thighs or get a rotisserie and use the leftover bones etc to make stock which can be used for more things. Pork is still cheap.
Check online and see if there are food banks near you to get free shit.

If you fought back instead of struggling you'd be rewarded with free meals and housing.

>>21520267 (OP)
I dunno, but I make at least two stews/soups/braises/roasts a week and alternate between those for lunch and dinner. breakfast is the same almost everyday. cheap cuts of meat are heavenly is you let them cook for a while, especially is you cook them with a lot of root veggies.

>>21520267 (OP)
Pasta, I like bowtie, with some butter and capers and black pepper. I've also been making heavy use of my slow cooker recently, it's great for cheap meat and whatever else you want to throw in there.

>>21520299
>what's wrong, anon? Could it be you're craving my... sweet meats?

>>21520267 (OP)
dumpster dived head of lettuce and a cheap bottle of some salad dressing.

>>21520267 (OP)
Pasta and ketchup. Rice and ketchup. Potatoes and ketchup. Sometimes I get a little freaky, a little fucked up, a little craaazey and do mustard and x/y/z.

>>21520267 (OP)
Everytime this comes up the answer is the same :
Rice, beans, other legumes such as lentils, pasta, ramen are the staple of student poorfag threads who need to survive on as little as possible.
Can't recommend eggs anymore, at this point chicken is cheaper.

>>21520389
what about sauerkraut and spinach and bread huh

>>21520267 (OP)
Buy one of their rotisserie birds and a bag a rice... grow the fuck up.. Their pizza is soggy shit anyways.... nothing but sloppy tommato sauce and rubber cheese

Great value corndogs and great value mint chocolate chip ice cream
And gum, it makes me feel less hungry when I run out of corndogs or ice cream

>>21520392

It's criminal how underrated bread is as a poverty food despite being THE poverty food. Weebs and their stupid rice need to get raped.

>>21520279
its called meat, faggot

>>21520267 (OP)
Make a lentil soup and eat that for lunch or dinner. You can freeze a massive batch. Oatmeal with milk and a banana is a good breakfast. You can also go to a food pantry if you're struggling; it what they are for.

>>21520425
go catch some grasshoppers.

My entire food for today was a can of baked beans I heated up in a pan.
I'm not even poor, I just have severe depression and no energy to cook.

Your arteries must be just pumping straight butter

The humble peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an excellent struggle meal that provides you with carbs, protein, and fat. And it even lets you be smug around other people, because now you are a vegan.

>>21520267 (OP)
Rice or potatoes with whatever else I have access to tossed in

I know youre joking but the irony is if the workers of the world all rose up and fought back we would all have free meals and housing instead of struggling. Too many people arent ready to have that conversation though

>>21520943
If the workers of the world united you'd be dead because you're not a real worker.

Troll post. Why would you be a renter and have a costco membership.

>>21520949
I am not a worker. I am a capitalist.

>>21520701
shut up nigger

>>21520969
So youre saying you enjoying profiting from the labor and exploitation of others, basically

>>21520979
Thats not how it works. No one is forcing people to work. Idk if youre trolling. Owners take the risk, you just show up for an 8 hour shift.

>>21520969
you're trying to shitpost ironically but yeah if you have any savings you're accumulating capital and leaving less for the workers. only if you spend money so it circulates are jobs needed and the people benefit.

>>21520993
How am I wrong? Are you stupid? I hate attitude of the poors. Owners take a risk and it costs $$ to start a business. What shitpost? I go on /antiwork so I know how you people think. You people are retarded. You show up for 8 hours and go home. Its not a shitpost.

>>21520993
And when I accumulate capital, I grow up. Open more business etc. The reality is if the worker doesnt want the job, someone else will. What is your problem?

>>21520998
>I go on (subreddit)
shitpost confirmed

>>21520998
you're trying hard but you're really bad at mimicking a caricature. at least try to be entertaining.

>>21520993
> only if you spend money so it circulates are jobs needed and the people benefit.
Yeah I spend it, to make more.
>jobs
Yeah, to open businesses, I have spend so it creates jobs.
>people benefit.
I am in business for myself. Not others.
What the fuck is wrong with wagies today?

>OwNeRs TaKe RiSkS

no one cares. Over the past 50 years the gap between productivity and wages has risen dramatically. Young men are unable to afford house or families. Our food grows more expensive and unhealthy by the day. We are all struggling. A revolution is coming and brother you're on the wrong side of history I promise you that.

>>21521008

>I am in business for myself. Not others.

Yeah we know, that's the problem

>>21521003
How am I wrong? I am retired at 30.
Tell me what I am saying is wrong.

No. I dont post. I am banned. I browse /antiwork on Steam Overlay while gaming. I just go there once a say to keep updated. I love going there to read wagie seethe. You sound exactly like what I read posted there. The posts there are so ignorant. Like it is pure ignorance.

What do you mean “no one cares.”
Do you know how many people Amazon employs?

>>21521017
Thats not the problem. Businesses provide product or service. Dumb ass. Are YOU trolling me?

Why humour an idiot that's obviously trying to troll?

>>21521017
>>21521028
Trolling WHAT?
If you dont mind, please roughly tell me how much you make. So I know what postion you are taking and why. Different incomes have different mentality.

>>21521028
I love how none of you actually replied to anything I said. lol

>>21521020

>Do you know how many people Amazon employs?

Amazon is well known for horrible worker conditions including not even allowing bathroom breaks and having incredibly hot warehouses. They exploit their workers and dont allow them to have a fair share of their profits.

>I am retired at 30
so you're the 1%. I live paycheck to paycheck, will never retire, and have 200k in student loan debt that I'll never be able to pay back because of interest. Trust me, more people are like me than you. And when the 99% come together Id hate to be you

>>21521041
Why would I need to when you're replying to yourself? Just stop being a pussy for a single minute of your life and say what you want to say without hiding behind three thousand layers of irony.

>>21521042
LMFAOO. AHAHAHAHAHAH
I worked at amazon too!!!
It is so easy and fun. LMFAO.
You fell for the propaganda. AHAHAHA
i hate you poor people.
i actually worked there. It is awesome. Fuck you loser brokie pos.
Try to see things from my perspective. I cant tell if youre just a bored rich person or not.
> Amazon is well known for horrible worker conditions including not even allowing bathroom breaks and having incredibly hot warehouses. They exploit their workers and dont allow them to have a fair share of their profits.
The conditions are awesome. Lmfao. Like pto and go in and do work and leave. Job is so simple there 50 year old females and and college girls there. LOL
>terrible conditions
That is just losers complaining. Amazon is awesome. Have you worked there? lmfao.
omfg you people.
>attitude
This has nothing to do with money. It is your attitude.
Amazon is great. I worked there.
Your attitude and seethe is not good.
See? I told you lmfaoo.
Poor people have shitty attitude. You look at the rich and seethe.

>>21521053
> Just stop being a pussy for a single minute of your life and say what you want to say without hiding behind three thousand layers of irony.
It is not me. It is your attitude. Amazon is amazing place to work for.
Your resentment at seeing rich people makes you blinded that you cannot even see from a different view.
Do you know how much it costs to keep a warehouse running and how much merchandise and robots and equipment and etc is in there?

>>21521017
So why dont employees pay for maintaining the building too then? Or the electricity they use when they are on site? Or land lease? Should the forklift driver pay for the cost of the forklift too? Or what about the wear and tear on the warehouse floor?

>>21521073
>triples down on "acting" retarded
Grim.

>>21521042
> having incredibly hot warehouses
This is not true. This is just poor people complaining about nothing. American amazon warehouses have climate control. The west is the best place to work for Amazon.

>>21521087
So cannot reply. lol. Knew it.

>>21521042
So you’re point is you’re struggling and youre jealous of the rich. So it is emotional. Got it.

Hahahahaha
My god.
you brokie losers are all the same.
I love reading your shit on /antiwork.
But to see it on 4chan and in real time and you brokies actually think like this?

Not even struggling here, but recently decided to simplify my diet and eat healthier. Honestly shocked by how cheap it is to eat healthy.


My fridge has:
> picked whole chicken
> lots of real thick chicken stock in jars
> beans with veggies cooked down in stock
> Cabbage soup
> fresh egg
> hard-boiled egg
> lots of whole carrots, celery, broccoli
> cottage cheese
> greek yogurt
> some fruits and berries

Sometimes I will mix it up and do lean beef or pork instead of the chicken.

>>21521064
>>21521088

People have literally died in Amazon warehouses after being denied basic medical care. Look it up

>>21521158
Those are people with low iq or issues. I worked at Amazon. It is a day care.

>>21521160
kek you are broke af

>>21521170
Why?
I make a top 10% income sleeping. What makes you say that?

>>21521160
You slurping up billionaire cum is kinda gross no cap

>>21521170
I retired at 30. Make more sleeping 8 hours in one night than people make a week.

>>21521174
I am not working class

>>21521174
you are broke keeeek

So many brokies itt T_T

low iq so poor

how poor? rice and beans plus a potatoes and carrots with a multi vitamin will keep you alive

ramen + eggs + cheese + meat whatever is cheap. 2lb cheese, 18 eggs, 30 ramen and some seasonings with 4lbs frozen veg and 2-4 lbs meat is good eating for more than a full week, two if you really push it, eating twice a day cuts down on cooking and helps keep the calories off. drink water.

>>21521158
No offense but those really are bottom tier people. Like think ghetto and low iq brownoid. Thats why amazon gets a bad rep cause these people are worthless in any job.

>>21521226
Do you think I'm the same as you low iqs? Give me something for humans not poor animals.

>>21520701
Elephants do drugs and they are one of the smartest animals in all of the Animal Kingdom.

Too much faggotry in here.
If you make chicken stock use it for potato and cabbage soup. Cabbage, potato, carrot, celery and onions are all cheap, throw it all in a pot and season it to taste. If you are a big dick player that week and have some extra bucks throw in some ham or cook some pork chop and dice it up.
If you are totally broke and have no chicken stock, or even storebought you can do it hobo mode and use a couple chicken ramen seasoning packets in your water. Its not as great but it does work. Ive done it. Im a hobo.

>>21521148
>picked whole chicken

Does this mean they bring you out on a mezzanine where you can point death unto a chicken like nero? Im interested

>>21521244
>Give me something for humans not poor animals.
humans usually are poor animals, be more specific?
>Do you think I'm the same as you low iqs?

Amazon is a nice easy place. People are just low and poor and or brown and black. The best workers on each floor each shift arent the low iq types.

Frozen foods are often cheaper and you can buy them in bulk and forget about them. I just go to Iceland (frozen food store here in the UK) and buy a boatload of chicken, fries, veg and fruit. Then I defrost them and cook as needed.
It saves money in the long term because it's cheap and you don't have to throw anything away (cos frozen).

>>21521262
No just meant that its a whole roasted chicken with all the meat carefully picked off (skin and Carcass then used for stock)

But now that you mention it my chicken game might benefit from some theatrics

Rice cakes with marinara sauce.

>>21522496
Yes

>>21520267 (OP)
I like potatoes a lot,'been surviving off of them for two months now. Oats and milk tend to be cheap enough for me to get occasionally too, and it's tasty. Flour is always a good pick, you can make unleavened bread pretty tasty if you know what you're doing.

This is a good one, but you definitely need a big enough freezer for it. I'm not sure about op, but my current fridge is kind of tiny, so i can't freeze a lot of stuff, unfortunately. In my case, i just try to buy stuff that keeps well

this is my gamerslop that I make from time to time
can of refried beans, can of chiles, can of jalepenos, 1 lb of cheese, and 1lb of meat, and whatever seasonings I feel like
and of course something to eat it with, i prefer tostadas
everything is from the dollar store except for the meat, fortunately I live near a lot of asian farmers who sell super cheap meat and produce
it's super dense, just 2-3 spoonfuls is a full meal, and it keeps for a while because of all the fat and preservatives inside

Corned beef hash an egg and maybe a banana. Or a cheap third party multi vitamin if you cant afford fruit or vegetables.
It's what I have been doing and soon egg might be off the affordable side of things since I don't have a nearby farmer anymore

Pound of ground pork
Pound of pasta shells
an onion
some chicken stock.
You brown the ground pork in a pot, and when it's almost done add the onion and cook it in the rendered pork fat. When The pork is done and onions translucent you pour in the shells and enough stock to cover everything. Simmer for the cooking directions for your pasta, adding more stock as it starts to look dry and you get a cheap easy starch heavy meal. Yeah sure you can spice it up, add some crushed red pepper if you're adventurous. Maybe even some greens. But there you have it. Best served eaten right out of the fucking pot like the animal you are.

I can see it working, do you always mix them together or sometimes have them in layers?
