>>21091373give me a the budget and i'll give you the shopping list.
>>21091373But i didnt go to collage A big bag of frozen veg, beans, rice, eggs, cheese, salsa, butter, whatever protein you can get at a discount. Cook it up and youll be fine should onlycost like 40 a month to eat well enough.
>>21091389>40 a monthIs it 2005 again? All of that is like $40/week minimum.
>>21091389Spotted the boomer. How many eggs can you get for $40?
>>21091373Your biggest problem cooking for one is going to be using things up before they go bad. It will also depend on how much of a kitchen and how much freezer space you have available. You won't save that much, for example, buying whole chickens unless you're just into that and into making your own stock and everything: frozen bags of boneless chicken thighs are like $3/lb but a whole fresh chicken at $1.40/lb is about $2.40/lb after you debone it. The ice glazing they do on modern frozen meats is going to prevent freezer burn better than just throwing extra meat in a ziploc, too.
morning: coffee with 45mL zero sugar coffee creamer + 5mg creatine lunch: 1 egg, 150 mL egg whites, some kind of processed meat like ham, bacon, sausagedinner: a whole chicken breast ~300+ grams, and a bunch of vegetables or a salad really fillingsnacks: greek yogurt with sweetener and frozen 3 berry blendi spend like $120 a month on groceries
>>21091373Never went to collage, but when I started living alone and didn't have much money I used to buy bones with a little bit of meat on them - they would sell almost for free, like 2kg for a $1,5 probably. And I would make a giant batch of broth and the soup. It's very nutritious and full of collagen and all the meat and bone vitamins and minerals. I still do that even tho I'm not struggling anymore, makes my hair thick and shiny.
>>21091373Place I went did great meals 6 days a week (Sundays were cook's day off, and TERRIBLE; a good time to fast and save some money).Best meal was lasagne, fries and peas.
>>21091373Nickle and diming your grocery orders while you are paying hundreds of dollars to be read a book aloud is the most insane shit ever. If you can't afford to eat normally then you can't afford college
>>21091373when I was in college? whatever was served in the cafeteria as I lived on campus.
