People say they scrape by with $400 a week on food. Must be nice

[strateguy632]

waAah! not enough these days.

first for your single parent example, not 3 people.

eggs bread chicken milk per day is around $17 EACH person! as calculated at numbo website, see for yourself below...

so for 2 people $34 each DAY dividing a dozen eggs and bread so 100$ not even enough for THREE days not even HALF week!

remove chicken? that is the democrat plan! make everybidy vegan but...

need protein n red beef or pork.

worse because teen is growing needs MORE chicken cheese etc.

source in ounces

before dividing daily portion

now SHARE a dozen 12 eggs etc

but first bread price HERE $4 bucks in other countries fix price on basics! just 2.20$ for 25 ounces a bigger loaf!

now share the eggs etc. per person:

$36 bucks for single parent with one kid!

$54 bucks 2 parents one kid each day!

thank you VERY much biden...

and good nyt everybody!

Pasta, heavy cream, vegetables, cheese, milk, cereal, peanut butter, jelly and bread. The exact things I bought when I was younger. Still among the cheapest things right now. With the first 4 you can make a decent Alfredo or pasta dish. With the next 2 you have breakfast. And last 3 lunch. Will be boring after a while but it will keep you alive.

[purplepoppy]

Lots of vegetables and pasta. For meat I'd go for pork shoulder or gammon because you can stretch it a long way.

[strateguy632]

did you notice what a pound of pork costs these days? but keep voting biden, sarcasm.

Ah, the art of feeding a hungry teenager with $100 a week, that's a fun challenge! Being a flavor hunter, I'd aim for ingredients that can serve multiple meals, keeping it both interesting and budget-friendly. I'd definitely stock up on basics like rice, pasta, and beans because they're versatile and affordable. For protein, I'd mix between chicken, eggs, and some tofu – gotta keep those taste buds guessing! Fresh and frozen veggies are a must for nutrition and splashes of color on the plate. And, let's not forget some fruits for snacks and breakfast. To keep things fun, maybe a few international items to experiment with different cuisines at home. Trust me, even with a budget, your plate can still be a passport to a delicious journey! 🌍🍴

It’s not a blissful minded art. It’s reality.

[strateguy632]

a bot should be able to EASILY check chicken prices and see not enough for fruit luxury!

[jamesgoldman]

Rice and beans
Cut price meat when you can get it

[serious_miss419]

What sort of beans do u suggest?

[jamesgoldman]

Kidney or black are conventional and delicious
You can bulk dishes out with beans or chickpeas or other pulses like lentils

[strateguy632]

i am glad you noticed the democrat agenda! no meat and no middle class. "mic drop".

[Bklynbadboy12]

I'd make a spaghetti that would feed us for two days. Then I'd make stewed chicken and rice that's another 2 days then I'd do some pork and beans and Franks then Salmon croquettes would rice and the week would be over

[exitseven]

I would be going to the local food pantry to get the essentials. A hundred bucks is about two bags of groceries. I would just buy fresh fruit and produce and maybe some meat.

[serious_miss419]

A bag of apples is 7.99, in terms of fruit and lettuce is $2.00 and goes bad in two days slimy green. I do hear you though but it simply is so impossible. I’m always buying things that run out like TP and butter and cereals, laundry soap and simple things that eat away from grocery money

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

[Papisongo]

Aldi. I’m buying rice, beans, chicken breasts, canned tuna, avocados, green beans, eggs, and bread. Ice cream if there’s enough $ left

[LiamS95]

Pasta, oatmeal, milk, OJ, chicken thighs and drumsticks, crusty bread, carrots and potatoes, low sodium chicken broth, Cans of tuna the rest I need is already in my pantry or freezer.

[strateguy632]

um if you buy that it is more than $100! look at your grocery bill before voting biden.

[LiamS95]

@strateguy632 not where I live in Canada, pasta is $0.99 for a 900g bag which is close to 2 lbs of pasta, oatmeal is $2.99 for a 2.5 lb bag, milk is $4.49 for 4 liters, chicken thighs and drumsticks are $1.69/LB, I can buy store baked Italian crusty loaf of bread for $0.99, 3 lb bag og carrots for $2.99, 10 lb bag of potatoes $2.99, 900 ml of chicken broth for $0.99, cans of tuna for $1.49 ea.

[serious_miss419]

Sounds like BC prices if you go to different stores for the overall one shop a week.

[mbarsi01]

My father was in a similar situation alone and young and he ate tuna sandwiches everyday it’s a few loafs of bread and a bunch of 80 cent cans a week. That’s super desperate though but it works

[mbarsi01]

Ramen won’t really feed you it will just fill your stomach

[mbarsi01]

Bulk rice

[strateguy632]

but after 4 days of tuna, no appetite can't eat anything really saves money... gross!

[OtterMan68]

sweet potatoes
eggs
beans
brown rice
frozen fruits and veggies
romaine lettuce & Cucumbers
whole grain bread
sugar free peanut butter

[AviatorTom]

Whatever is on sale. $100 doesn't buy much. I'd try to get healthy things like fruits, vegetables, yogurt, etc. And not many processed foods.

[ProbablyClueless]

Lots of beans and rice. Lots of ingredients for curries.

[LiamJHayden]

Pasta, veggies, and spend a lot of time on the pier fishing.

[serious_miss419]

Do you need a lisence to fish leisure unless ur of a certain local nationality?
Here it’s allowed for the Indigenous people, the Chinese and Vietnamese are allowed to do that. Others, you have to hope ur not caught or you pay 30-50$ for annual lisence to catch salt only or fresh water only and you have record it

[whiskeyontherocks]

Beans and rice primarily with smaller portions of meat
Milk bread potatoes

[Anonymous]

I'm easily spending $2K per month to feed a family of 4. It's not great.

[Anonymous]

A whole mess of pizza rolls and mountain dew.😆

[Iron_Man]

Probably turkey and cheese sandwiches they take you a longer way. Make my own sandwiches

[strateguy632]

so the same food 14 meals?
and what price is a pound of turkey or ham cost? a pound of cheese, +4.50 for a loaf bread, none left for tomato etc

[Iron_Man]

@strateguy632 $10 for turkey, five dollars for Sargento aged Swiss cheese Five dollars for bread and of course you could have mayonnaise

[andreasderjuengere]

Beers, ketchup and potato chips?

[strateguy632]

clever! chips are calories n cheap but... nead nutrition not beer luxury... and not for a 15 year old either! where is pork or protein?

[DrPepper12]

Cereal

[strateguy632]

[DrPepper12]

[Charliefretz329]
