a lot of men on this board and in real life wouldnt survive if it came down to buying food and cooking themselves a meal.
to be honest i havent cooked a real meal in dam near twenty years. thats about how long i have been married. if i set my mind to and a had a couple of trial and errors im sure it would come back to me but you are correct. for the most part dudes dont cook. hell most females dont know how now a days as well. one of the things that stood out to me about my wife was how she could burn some pots man.
FINALLY!!!!!
Get a Costco Membership. Take your $200 dollars and you'll get 5 to 6 weeks worth of quality food. $150 should cover your basic needs. The other $50 you can spend on chips, wine, and other shit.
And the Purdue Honey BBQ chicken wings at costco are killing anything in the game right now. Get them too!
There are different ways I would go...If I was reckless for breakfast I would have Eggs and French Toast every morning, skip Lunch and for Dinner $3 corner store sandwiches, a bag of Onion Rings and an Arizona everyday... probably gain 15 pounds doing this shit

call sister up, take her to the super market, pick up $300 dollars in grocery and watch her break it down to $50 or less in coupons. she is a coupon queen.
it takes up lots of your time searching and categorizing them, but in the end, you can get very far with coupons.

I really cant comment. Its been a while since I didn't have multiple mouthes to feed.
I had four kids and had to live off of $75 every two weeks. Coupons are your friend. Beans and rice are the staple. Chicken, veggies...it was easy. $50 dollars per person per week is easy if you prepare the meals. I was also a faster. I can save $50 for two weeks and buy what I want for the next two.
hey while your bullshiting this is exactly where i go when im on the road. forty dollars and im straight. the hotel room has a microwave and fridge. im talking food and drinks and condiments and cutlery. they even got steaks for a dollar there.
real steaks
i would question "meat" a dollar store.
It's funny this thread came up...I've been trying to get info on eating purely raw and organic fruits and veggies for the cheap...
You are correct. Many here are also making the assumption the person has a place to live and store food. Or assumes at a minimum that he or she has access to cooking facilities. Without that there's no way to live on $50 without additional help from somewhere.

This is TOO EASY!!!
$200 is more than enough to feed yourself. This is what I do....
The wife and I budget $200 a month for Grocery. We go to the Tysons Chicken plant where we buy 30 lbs of dark meat for $17.00
That's enough to last us 2 months
Oh, and we simply shop at ALDI
$20 buys us an abundance of fruits and vegetables
$100 buys us enough @ ALDI to last a month...easily
So $120 is all we really need PERIOD...THAT leaves $80.00 ....we go out 2 times a month to dinner.... Scoutmob helps bigtime

i cant fuck with aldis or bottom dollar. i need bags with my purchases. i just believe if you read the weekly circulars and clip coupons you can shop at normal grocery stores
yo i forgot all about those tv dinners
those big ass hungrymans with the fried chicken, corn, mash potatoes, and the nasty ass brownie
all those shits would have you full as fuck and they were always like $1.50
Yeah but those are freaking nasty. I tried to eat them in college. Learned how to cook real fast.
For a FAMILY? Depends on the size of the family unit. I've managed to do this for less than $50 per wk, and it was for 2 people.
Below: 1-5 are bulk basics. 6-9 are food enhancers
1. Bags of Rice
2. Eggs (for protein)
3. Dry Beans (that you boil yourself)
4. Oatmeal -or- Farina (palenta for you snobs)
5. Pasta
---- enhancers ----
6. Salt, pepper, aspartime (potent sweetener)
7. Frozen bags of veggies.
8. Garlic
9. Butter
10. Any leftover: Fruits and/or Poultry.
This will STRETCH yo' budget like plastic man.
Can't go wrong here. PLUS, beyond to poverty aspect of this, there's a SERIOUS personal benefit to experimenting with this budget; Overall Self Discipline: The gateway to prosperity. Which I think is a hidden opportunity.

B. Portion Control and Nutrition Management.

Don't know man, I like fresh vegetables, and they cost. I don't fuck with iceberg lettuce and bullshit.
I guess if I purchased beans in bulk, brown rice in bulk i'd be ok.
Still, you need spices or you will be a very unhappy person eating all that bland shit.

top ramen is for the ghetto and lazy.... yeah i said it
eating 100% organic and healthy is impossible im sorry, maybe if u hit up a farmers market and go vegan but good food is expensive
but just eating a balanced diet normally is easy... niggas sleep on the 99 cent store and dollar trees... they be having the name brand stuff there (they test out products at the 99 cent store)
chicken usually goes on sale, and tilapia is usually cheap too if u have to have meat, chuck is a cheap good tasting cut of meat...
food banks??

Cory Booker is living off of around $30 a week ($4 and change per day) as per the SNAPchallenge not $50.

Somebody mentioned food banks, but they are already dealing with record demand for their services. A demand they can't keep up with.
nice work.
Churches should be teaching this method of living within ones means as a method of self empowerment. Saving money, eating at home, and dare I say, conversation at the dinner table!!!
Some of the shit yall eat.....
$50 is substantial. I forget BGOL is full of rich niggas that eat breakfast and lunch prepared by a Peruvian maid and Ruth's Chris steaks for dinner everyday

from this thread it seems like bgol is full of niggas that cant cook and dont know how to make the most of their money at the grocery stores. you have people living off ramen and hungry man dinners like they are in the college dorm again
where u from where drums and thighs costs 8 bucks? thats wings prices? a pack of drums or thighs go for $3-4 where im at ...how much pack of wings cost?Ramen Noodles and get creative
But $50 can go a LONG WAY
Loaf of bread - $3
Sandwich meats - $5-$6
Peanut Butter - $3
Jelly - $3
Bag of rice - $5
Pack of chicken legs or thighs - $7 - $8
Canned or frozen veggies - $6 - $8
Pasta - $3
Bottles of pasta sauce - $4
Ground beef for pasta - $5
12 count eggs - $3
Ramen noodles
This that I have listed above is below $50, and all you have to do is get creative
Dad, is this the "hood"? Yes son, there's tons of Chinese stores and grown men with overpriced jeans but no belt to hold them up. I come here once in a while just to chuckle. This son is your lesson on PRIORITIES. Thanks Dad.
