Mine isn’t really a “Meal”, I used to put margarine spread on white bread and sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon and sugar on it as a sweet treat growing up.

Cook 2 bags of ramen and strain it. Add a can of tomato soup and some cheddar. I like to call them regrettios.
2nd up is ghetto pizzas. Make some toast put on tomato sauce and cheese also pepperoni if you can afford it
Rice + blackbeans + whatever is around + a tortilla = poverty burritos
Also, potatoes in many forms.
All forms of potatoes are whats gonna get me through this next great depression.
Gardening is awesome. Just had some home made mashed potatoes with chives I grew.
I’m growing a good bit of food this year! Mostly herbs but I also have 5 jalapenos and 9 tomato plants. I do have 80 onion sets but I didn’t plant them yet because Idk where to do it. Now I think it might be too late for those.
Herbs are great and easy to grow.
Best time to plant garlic and onion sets is the very end of fall. You can do it in early spring, but the results are better if they overwinter.
Rice and beans. Mine are usually white rice and black beans. Beans cooked with a little onion, green pepper and garlic. Salt and pepper. Hot sauce.
I eat it regularly, to the point I have a tiny slow cooker that I pretty much just use to cook beans.
Tuna with saltines.
I had water on stale bread with sugar 💀
Here my favourites:
-
cook rice, add a can canned tuna, shred a boiled egg (optional) into it and some ketchup and you got yourself a banger.
-
add to a blender 1 can of corn, 1 spoon of corn flour, 1 egg, and milk (enough to almost cover the corn), season it with salt and pepper and blend it till homogenous. Add some shredded cheese to it. Put it into an oiled up pyrex and bake it for like 30 mins or till it’s golden brown on 220°C.
-
Roast 1 or half an onion (depends on the size) in a pan. Add Corned beef to the pan and break it down. Add your left over rice stirr it a little and enjoy it.
-
shredd some patatoes (about 300g for each egg you use), add half an onion, add some shredded cheese, add some beaten eggs and season it to taste (salt, pepper) Put it in a pyrex and bake it for 30 mins or till golden brown on 220°C. Alternatively fry it on low heat in a pan. Make sure you can put a lid on that pan (I prefer the baked version as turning that thing in the pan is usually difficult).
Saving this one, they seem like good “I just need food quick” meals as well as being cheap
-
Take a pack of hotdogs and dice them up. Open a box of Mac and cheese and follow the instructions, but add the diced hotdogs to the water first.
Long live poverty nachos
Tortilla chips, can of baked beans, half jar of salsa, microwave, top with hummus
Hummus???
Tortilla chips (cheapest)
Block of government cheese, shredded.
Pickled jalapeños if you have them.
Nuke for 20 seconds.
Indomie bbq chicken flavor.
Used to be rice with a fried egg. In my family we call it Ghibli rice. Nowadays I just bake my own wholemeal bread and that’s the cheapest eats there is. So cheap you can afford the nice butter!
“stuggle” ?
damn its been like that all day and you’re the first person to point it out.
One might say it was quite a stuggle.
A whole string cheese with a piece of bread wrapped around it. Still goes crazy honestly. You just can’t let anyone else see you eating it 😂
Hotdogs in ramen, hands down.
Our poverty “treat” as kids was toast with tomato sauce and a slice of government cheese, for a makeshift pizza.
We would put hot dogs in Mac N Cheese but never ramen, I did learn recently that some people put hot dogs in spaghetti and I wanted to try it but my husband absolutely refuses.
Hot dogs in spaghetti is the bomb. Add some butter and grated cheese and mmmmm delicious
Lentils. They’re a superfood. Cook them with correct technique (hardly any technique needed, honestly) and season them properly
Bacon and white rice with pickles.
