When it comes down to it rice to tough to beat.  There is a reason they eats lots of rice in poor countries.  Don't starve yourself, just buy rice, plain pasta, and bread.  Get some good spices and cheap multi vitamins.  Buy whatever fruit or vegtable is on the cheapest sale for the week, and if you got the money get some milk or meat.  Tunas a good one.  Now look at that, your eating pretty good.

I can't believe this. Not one person has mentioned Gas Station hot dogs. If you get the speedway rewards you can get like, every 5 hotdogs for free. And they're a bug. No buns to cost money, and you can have relish and onions and all that jazz. And if you get one drink. Free refills ftw.

Farmers Markets for most produce is a lot cheaper and more amazing than at the grocery store.

Meat is expensive too... and replacing some of it with beans and lentils and tofu.... if you can stand not being a carnivore that is.

get concentrate juices. those things are way cheap and the OJ is better than shit in a bottle. plus, when your eating that much ramen, your going to get a vitamin C deficiency but this will counter act it.
