Miracle Whip on bread! Yum!

Easy, inexpensive food does not need to be from a box or the prepared food aisle!
Buy staples at the asian market- rice, onions, potatoes, and yes , ramen-
Add meat that is on sale-a whole chicken can feed a family of four for TWO dinners if you plan it right, pork chops often come in bulk packs of variety of types- even steak is inexpensive if you buy the cheaper cuts and marinate it and cook appropriately.
Find a "theme"- for example, tonight, I had a whole chicken- cut it into quarters ( put the back and gizzards in a zip lock in the freezer for soup stock later..) poured some generic brand spagetti sauce on top ( about 1/4 of the jar) and some italian seasoning, and baked for 45 minutes- served with spaghetti and the rest of the sauce- and still have one pretty good sized chicken breast left over for italian chicken salad for lunch tomorrow.
Good Luck!

Take a piece of white bread. Put a slice of Kraft American cheese on top, bite off the end of a hot dog and put on top. Nuke for 30 seconds. Fold it up and it's almost like a ballpark dog. Ketchup and mustard optional.

Good question. You can try buying flavored lunch meat, for example peppered beef, peppered chicken, cajun turkey try using about 2 slices from each pack and combining it in a skillet with 1 tsp butter, 1 tsp shredded cheese and a little onion/garlic (optional). cook till golden but not burned. serve in between either homeade garlic bread/toast or buy the store bought brand and serve with a nice glass of either juice or soda or whatever u like. I've done this a couple times on a tight budget and it helps out well.

Which Ghetto? Jewish, Spanish, Black, Polish? Do you mean ethnic or "stuff" that poor people eat?

Man that tater tot cassarole looks REALLY good
