Befriend someone who works at a restaurant, and visit them when it's not crowded. My buddy hooked me the fuck up today. He made me a chicken parm sandwich with about 3 times the normal amount of meat, and threw in drinks and a canoli on the house!

for cheaper meals but healthy meals, go buy some pasta and sauce, they both usually run pretty cheap. or get a bulk pack of frozen chicken breasts, and grill them up

eggs are key. they taste great, are cheap as hell, and can be used in so many ways. Egg sandwiches, egg burritos, omeletes, and the list goes on like bubba in forest gump.

Mac and cheese is cheap if you find store brand's on sale.

5 for $1, go buy some hot dogs on sale. All you need around is some milk and butter.


Also you can find lots of pizza's on sale for like $10/10 or $4/10

I am not saying this is ultimate cheap like Tina's burrito's or Ramans, but these are some of yuor most affordable meals.

    Hell yeah. If you make a couple rounds through costco/sams club you can get a decent meal out of it.

    Also if you know someone with a sam's membership they have pretty cheap pizza slices.

    Go to the farmer's market in your town and get yourself wholesale oats, apple rice, and honey. It's like $.38 for a pound of oats and a couple bucks for honey and like $1 for rice. Then mix it up and throw it on a baking pan with some cinnamon, and BAM. You've got 3 pounds of fucking apple cinnamon granola right there. It's super healthy too, but like 20x the amount you usually get for like $4 bucks tops.

    I'm doing this right now. Granola is basically oats and honey. Its delish.

    OR

    You can go urban scrounging and hang out at Whole Foods. They're not allowed to turn down any customer who asks for a sample. i know. I used to work there. It's kept me going for a while when I needed it.,

    conji you cook like rice with like turkey bones and chicken bones and the flavour seeps into the rice. its like an oatmeal and when you eat some add more water and it expands. eat with hot vege oil and soy sauce

    or a trigger. buy a mcdouble and a jr chicken and jam that jr chicken into the mcdouble.

    ramen + 2 eggs + hotsauce = delight for under a dollar. If you get ramen on sale its about 10 cents a pack, eggs are about 2 bucks for 18 and hotsauce can be acquired by five finger discount at any public eatery.  Cook ramen, drain water, crack two eggs into the mess, add desired amount of flavoring and hot sauce, enjoy.

    The Dunkin Donuts where I'm at closes at about 9 or 930.

    So when me and my friends are out and have no cash on us to go grab burgers or whatever, we just go there and get them to give us a few bagfulls of donuts. Apparently it's company policy or some shit to throw out "old" donuts at the end of each day, even though technically they're still fresh and legit.

    But when we get there late we need to grab the bag from the dumpster. Mmmm, dumpster donuts.

    Buy a shitload of pasta/sauce/ground beef and split it with whoever you live with. Save yourself a lot of money. Mix it up with a bunch of different kinds--linguini, ravioli, radiators--to keep it interesting.

    eggs are the cheapest protein per penny you can buy, so even if it seems to be eating at your wallet, i think its the best way to at least try to stay healthy. ramen 24/7 doesn't really help with that.
