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
By ramen do you mean just regular pasta? Cause I’m not familiar with ramen so I had to Google it and you can’t possibly be talking about the ramen I saw there.
Cheap instant ramen, not the nice bowls of ramen.
The stuff that’s $.25 per package.
Oh, ok, that makes sense. Those bowls of ramen sure don’t look cheap.
Most of the nice ramen are just the packaging and maybe some freeze dried veg. Get the cheap stuff. You can cut the seasoning packet down if you want to reduce sodium and add diy ingredients to make a far better bowl. egg for protein- carrots, mushrooms, spinach etc for variety. It’s a good quick source of carbs and can be very diverse as far as a meal goes.
I’ve had several fancy ramen packs that were around $7 vs the usual $0.25. I agree they are not worth the price difference if you’re looking for value.
That said, most of them are much better than the cheap ramen packs. They’re worth trying some other time when calories per dollar is not the priority.
The YouTube channel That Dude Can Cook has videos showing other things you can pre-make to add to cheap ramen if time is not an issue. His noodles look way better than anything that just comes from a ramen pack.
