Help ME Decide What To Eat This Month?

[kittyxscratch]

This is pretty simple: Help me decide what to eat.... But I will list some rules since I live in my car and may not be able to do what so many others can do)

RULES:

- Serious Replies Only (Don't tell me something like 'eat your own hair' or 'eat a book' or something)

- Under $10 for food for a day (Should just be one meal and can contain several items)

- Should be enough to fill someone up for the day

- No Bulk or Big Perishable items (I can eat a whole pizza in the "safezone" 4 hours but I won't be drinking a whole gallon of milk... This makes it very hard to buy cheaper stuff like 8 pack of hot dogs for $2, or be able to eat cereal as I don't usually drink a whole half gallon of milk which is cheaper then the smaller packages of milk for some reason...)

- No Cooking/Cleaning Required (I don't have the time or energy to cook food on a portable coleman grill... mainly because of the mess and trying to figure out where I would wash the dishes)

NOTES

- Some thing I eat currently are:

Free Meals At Work (I only work 2 days a week which is enough to cover all my expenses living in my car) I get these FREE only on days I work

Pizza from Little Caesars for $7

Taco Bell - 3 or 4 items totaling like $6-8

Sub Sandwiches OR 8 Piece Chicken meal from Publix for like $7-10

BUT I don't know many other places that have reasonable prices with many food items... Let me know some?

I would recommend protein bars and Boost, which also has protein.

Boost is expensive by the bottle, a little bit cheaper by the six pack, but requires refrigeration. If you're shopping Publix, then that means your'e in the South, so you need refrigeration.

I hope you improve your living situation. I know what it's like living like that, because I've been there before.

Protein bars don't require refrigeration, which is why I recommended them. And they're not *too* expensive, if you buy the 2 for 1 deal boxes of them at Publix. I would recommend beef jerky, but that's *way* too expensive, unless you know someone with cows who makes their own.

You need vegetables, or the equivalent, so drink V8 every day, if you can.

I'm sure there are some websites you can look up for better advice on this than anyone here can give, though. If you hit this rock bottom, which you have, you should find a church -- not the state -- to help you navigate your way back to living well, working more, and joining the ranks of the productive and happy.

Canned fruit is great to keep vitamins/minerals in your diet, can be stored for long periods, doesn't need to be heated. Crackers/chips keep and you can top with meat and cheese. Breads (do not leave exposed to the sun and it shouldn't sweat). Peanut butter. Nuts and dried fruits.
Hope your situation improves, I know the struggle

Buy all the candy corn you can afford then just live off the fat you gain.

Milk gallons are a loss leader.

No cooking and cleaning for under ten bucks? Where I live, you'd starve or have to live off the ready-made salad bowls and wraps from the supermarket - and only buy the discounted ones late in the evening. I mean, they taste pretty good and are convenient, but not what I'd consider a balanced diet.

Are you still a hobo?

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

oatmeal - cold dont have to cook it $3 for weeks of food
canned chicken breast $3 / can
fruit from fruit trees if you can find or canned fruit or fresh
bananas 67 cents a pound
bag of shredded lettuce/spinach $2-3

youll want more variety than that over time but thats a start
over time youll want to find cheap large spice containers like cinnamon, chili powder, garlic, eetc
powdered milk the big $20 bag at walmart will provide you with weeks of the milk and wont need fridge

[Rhila]

anything with no added sugar and not processed or junk food

[ZZZZZ]

potato with cream (u can choose the cream)

[Supersquid]

I'm not replying to someone who can't cook.
