return2ozmaKellogg’s CEO advice to cash-strapped shoppers: Let them eat Corn Flakes for dinner
JohnDClayLast time I checked, corn flakes weren’t that cheap. My go to is still rice.
amniotic druidRice + lentils is the ultimate poverty lifehack. A well-stocked spice drawer (expensive, but lasts a long time) plus those two ingredients can provide like 80% of your food indefinitely. Don’t waste your time or money on ramen
Don’t waste time on ramen? Ramen is a good base. Toss in some fresh veg, boiled egg, maybe a bit of meat or tofu.
Pretty quick and easy.
Frozen dumplings. Just throw them in at the start, and by the time it reaches a boil, they’re ready to eat
bdonvrYou could also put those things in rice instead for much cheaper calorie/dollar. But it can be good to switch it up for sure
theneverfoxQuality instant ramen is pretty delicious, but it’s not that cheap or healthy
Get an appropriately sized rice cooker, it’s a super easy and cheap staple food that’s endlessly versatile.
Want Mexican food? Fry up some beans, veg, and/or eggs with cumin or taco seasoning and you’ve got a burrito bowl. Want fried rice? Toss it in too and season it. Want a simple breakfast meal? Fry an egg sunny side up and toss it on top. Feeling lazy or putting off a grocery store run? Pack it together and you get onigiri
You can even turn it into porridge (I’ve never tried it, my friend said it’s good)
