So, I tried the new bacon mushroom burger from Wendy's. It's actually not too bad :3

A blah chicken sandwich, ravioli, and chili cheese fries for lunch.  I'm thinking a cheeseburger for lunch.

DEMON OVERLORD'S 4 RULES OF POOR MAN'S COOKING
#1: Soup.
#2: Peanuts. They cost less than half as much as your average mince meat (and slightly less or about as much as the cheapest-ass sausage you can find), and contain over 3 times the POWER (at least 2x for sausage), 1,5x more protein (over 2x for sausage) and ALMOST ZERO DEAD WEIGHT (water). They're rich as fuck in vitamins and shit too, don'tcha know. USE THEM IN EVERYTHING
#3: EGGS IN ALL THE THINGS
#4: Remove scurvy. Do this by pressing the E key to eat oranges. If you eat an orange it will be k.
#5: SOUP MOTHERFUCKER

[Chocofreak13]

that's 5 rules~

though i agree on the soup thing. chicken soup cans, 5 for $5~~~~

[NejinOniwa]

CANS? No, no, no, son. You MAKE the soup. MAKE IT DAMNIT

Honestly, it's like the #1 way of making food out of random ingredients. Take bunch of things and put in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. SERVE.

[Chocofreak13]

but that involves buying the ingredients. which, unless you're shopping at an asian market, gets expensive fast. :\

ik it's bad, but pizza and garlic sticks for breakfast. >>;;;;

[NejinOniwa]

Herp? Expensive?
Rice=cheap. Onions=dirt cheap. Potatoes=EVEN CHEAPER. Peanuts, as we've mentioned=dirt cheap and NUTRITIOUS AS FUCK. Tomatoes/crushed tomatoes=DIRT CHEAP. Eggs=cheap. Mushrooms=up for grabs for free in da forezt, then you dry them up and use them throughout the year. Bouillon cubes=dirt cheap. Water=dirt cheap^2 because TAP FTW

Now if you're gonna add some meat in, I'd go for some ham. Cheap and takes lots of space, lots of taste, can be cut up into itty bitty pieces without losing the sting.

Honestly - making soup is the most cost-effective way of cooking in existence.

[Chocofreak13]

well, it IS basically the oldest form of cooking in existence, second only to roasting.

though i think that might vary from country to country. for example, i know of one edible mushroom species in the area, and even then i wouldn't go picking it out of the yard and eating it. >>;;;

that said, you failed to mention one other cheapo ingredient/food: beans. here, you can buy bags of goya beans on the dirt cheap, and they come in at least 20 different varieties. filling, healthy, full of protein, goes great in soup. :\

I'm gonna keep this noted down somewhere....

[NejinOniwa]

Beans aren't really among the more native European foodstuffs, afaik - at least not on 60'N, it ain't. It's still reasonably well priced, but not as much as the stuff we can grow easy up here. We almost only get them in cans, too, which makes it yet more bothersome to prepare - and pricier package, too. Aluminium ain't cheap.

Plus, I don't like the taste -_-

[Chocofreak13]

fair enough, just like here with the mushrooms. here they have an entire aisle in the grocery store devoted to goya products, most of which involve beans of some sort. goya is also one of the cheapest brands i've ever seen. you can get a bag of beans (probably 1-2 pounds) for like, 2 bucks. :\
