how did you get into that situation? did you spend your budget for your food on something else?

No I'm just not having enough of a variety as I would like.

I'm having trouble financing my weekly food consumption properly. What's something that's cheap but not noodles and will keep me somewhat healthy?

I came across this today.

When I was scrapping for food, it's good to hunt for bargains, not even just in grocery stores.
I made a lot of my own soup, which was cheap and lasted me a day or two.

You can also make major casseroles and freeze it in in parts.

Anything with chicken, chicken can be expensive here, but rice isn't. I ate a lot of rice and/or pasta with chicken and deepfreeze vegetables.
You can do anything with chicken too, spicing it up, the way you cook it etc. It'll be the same ingredients over and over, but it varies due to your preparation of it.

Potatoes or eggs
Both can be cooked many ways.

just google cheap recipes you'll get some ideas. you'll have to cook if you want variety without having to spend much. Also try to spot which kind of meat is cheaper in your area and look for repices with that kind of meat

That's a good idea. Would be a good thing to prep on Sundays and stick in the freezer for the week.

Nooooo I can't do that

Good idea. Thanks greg.

I'm no stranger to cooking so that's not going to be an issue hopefully.

Yeah, that's one way to go. There's a lot of this kind of advice to find on Imgur and Pinterest, easy and cheap recipes.

Hard boiled eggs are good sub for meat...i boil a dozen on sundays and eat like 2 a day for breakfast along with some fruit,cheese and granola.

I might have been focusing too much on the work and less on myself. It's pretty much trial by fire. This adult stuff. Wish someone had taught me some life pro tips beforehand.

Only few people here and there

Never thought he wanted me to be mean

lmao, the thing is you wont get another good opportunity to skip class/work and mess around after high school. well you can do it in college but that's not a good idea since college can be really hard and is generally expensive

You weren't taught stuff like that in your school? We have things like that....

Yoghurt is a good breakfast food too. I already make smoothies packed with tonnes of goodies every few days.

My school taught us to be college students even though we're still in highschool so it's a bit too late to skip school.

I thought you're way beyond the future from me

Most western schools have never effectively prepared their students for Adult life. It all culminates in your Highschool Certificate and then they just give you the boot. It's an archaic system put in place during the Industrial Revolution to produce competent workers for the industry. And it's barely changed in 200 years.
