How to eat cheap

[AkexA95]

And again about the food
I really like to eat. but I don't like to waste a lot of money. Moreover, I have almost no money left.
What can you advise? What inexpensive products or recipes?

[Franz14]

You can eat cereals. For example, rice, buckwheat. Also legumes.

[tiptravel]

In every city there is an institution that prepares homemade food, which is not very expensive but very tasty. Personally, I have such a restaurant, for a couple of bucks you can eat very hearty. Don't you have a place like this?

The most important thing would probably be to prepare food yourself instead of buying something elsewhere.

Buy onions, eat onions, onions are good

[goldap]

NOODLES
very easy to get and pretty cheap if you get plain non name brands, just add hot water + egg and spices to your liking

[FosterSofia]

 Make a grocery list (and stick to it). By heading to the store with a clear list of what's necessary, it's much easier to avoid last-minute purchases. (Some studies say shoppers may still make impulsive buys… but the list can't hurt.) Feeling techy? Try one of the many apps that can help with shopping, like GroceryIQ or Shopper.

There are some great subreddits for find great meals at low prices.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy/
https://www.reddit.com/r/budgetfood/
https://www.reddit.com/r/studentfood/

But basically, you could buy those products:
Eggs, potatoes, pinto beans, lentils, Rice, carrot, flour, coffee.

You would have everything that you need for the lowest price.

Make your own food. Onions, potatoes and legumes are cheap. If you don't know where to start there are a lot of recipes online which easy to make and cheap.

Those subreddits helped me a lot before and I still look to find good advice there.

Actually, if you buy products and prepare a normal amount of food at once, you will spend less money. Personally I cook only for one evening and it is expensive. But when I cook for 3-4 nights, it is much cheaper.

[irina0699]

First, do not go to cafes or restaurants. So cook at home and there eat. And you should cook for some days. Also limit your budget for day. I know it is really hard, but if you really care

[alexandrea]

Rice and Noodles and cook hotdogs or canned food

[Franz14]

Buy onions, eat onions, onions are good

It`s really cheap.
Only then you will smell strongly and everyone will know about your economical diet.

[St_3179]

What I realised is that it is quite difficult to cook for one for cheap. So I think one of the options is to just prep a meal that you can eat many days in a row. Not the greatest taste variety maybe but will definitely help you to save a few bucks.

Also, worth going to the supermarket's just before they're about to close. Can find some pretty awesome deals like that, but usually it means that you will have to cook the items the same or at least on the next day.

[YanaVorob]

If you don't really have money, you should eat at home. Try to eat more cereal as it is cheap. For example buy a large package of buckwheat . You can eat it with jogurt, cheese or vegetables.

[Get_Boogie_2night]

One thing for sure - NEVER ever be cheap about food, better take less than worse
quality of your food pretty much will be mirrored in the quality of your life - both mental and physical state depend on what you eat, so if you want to feel bad - cheap and bad food is the way
if you are just looking to get full every time - try peanuts - just sooo many you can eat

[joker6756]

Prepare food yourself and try to eat something simple. You dont need to spend your money on various products if money > taste.

[MikeGarden]

street food is the best. from squid balls, kikiam, hotdogs, siomai then rice! the best!

[Brandonkimm]

Make sure you go to to the wet market to buy your supply and not buying at the mall!

[AliceWood21]

simple. let your mom cook for ya!  

[grungelife182]

if you have leftovers, make sure you watch youtube the next day where you can find thousands of good recipes for leftovers

[jazz007]

eat healthy foods it will always be cheap

[ShawnNathaniel]

Eat healthy food.  Away with oily food - that will icnlude a drive to fastfood chains.

[Jet Cash]

I'm fortunate in that I am no longer a city dweller, and I travel around quite a lot. This means I am able to harvest the food that nature provides. It is healthier, and it is free.  Nettles, dandelions, wild garlic, clover and many other plants provide a healthy diet at no cost. Roadkill pheasant and deer are also good sources of meat.

Plants that have had to struggle for survival ( ie. what most peope call weeds) contain more nutrients and fewer poisons, and are fresher, than their cultivated varieties, who have had a pampered life in preparation for the long and slow journey to your larder via the supermarket shelves.

[Hanna Kallis]

Use one day each week to plan your meals for the upcoming week. Once you've planned your meals and made your grocery list, stick to it. Cooking at home is much cheaper than eating out. Don't shop when you're hungry

[Chantella]

Plan what you eat and don't go to the store when you're hungry. Make sure you always have some necessary and cheap ingredients at home like rice and pasta so you could easily do a tasty meal.

[Firestax]

Sure, this is the best decision! Moreover, it is more tasty and even more tasty!

[mthinvestor]

fish yourself and eat

[Lintormi]

Just so difficult to advise, because you need to first find out the budget. Highlight the amount you are willing to spend on food and from that already make a start. Plan your meals for a week, choose cheap foods, mostly cereals

[coine]

try noodles its very easy to make and like cheap price

[AkexA95]

simple. let your mom cook for ya!  

But, what if mom refused to cook for me and buy groceries?

[TradingMyLifeSavings]

This thread is more needed than ever now that Bitcoin went to absolute shit along with all the other alt coins 

[MollyWalk01]

There are a lot of cool and cheap ways to prepare pasta, I advise you to try it.

[Dawson]

Coupons! Keep and use them all. Ask your neighbours to share with you. The easiest way to get 30-50% off....

[jimmyd178]

I can't believe noone mentioned a blockchain based solution!

It's true that preparing the meals yourself would be the cheapest solution but if your can't avoid eating out then why not join an ecosystem like tapcoin and get up to 60% discounts on restaurants? Coupons are not the solution anymore!

[LolaAnderson]

I always take food from home! it hepls to avoid spending a lot on food. it maybe uncomfortable sometimes but i think i've got used to it)))

[MaJes-ty]

Try to buy produce from farms instead of supermarkets. And cooking your own food is cheaper than eating out.

[Amalia Cross]

stay at home and cook. left over can eat they next day or more just put in the fridge or freezer.

[ZackAdamss]

I always love the idea of any fish meat rolled to a wrapper and deep frying it. would only cost you 2usd and you can eat it for 3 straight days!

[Jessika L.]

The only way is to eat at home. Or cook at home and take the food for the hole day, if you won't have a possibility to run home. Because, everything you eat even in not luxurious restaurants is anyway more expensive than eating at home

[clareyancey215]

Eat derivatives (similar food that is cheap) of food you like.

[Firestax]

The best way of saving money on food is cooking by yourself

[catalinhou]

If someone can cook home for you will be great. (if you don't know cook)

[Matxabaco]

I think you should go shopping yourself, buy food and cook. You can cook simple and cheap dishes depending on where you live
