What is the cheapest food?!


Question: What is the cheapest food?
I got into an argument with my Dad. He told me that I had to fend for myself with no support except my bed to sleep on. I have to buy food at the nearest Kroger and am wondering which is the cheapest.

Answers:

There are people out there who live off of nothing but ramen. All they spend is $500 a year on ramen. Pasta and tomato sauce are also pretty cheap, along with rice. Grains are generally inexpensive.

But I'm guessing you have no access to a stove or fridge...? In that case, buy bread, granola bars, beans (and a can opener), deli meats, chips and salsa (probably not the cheapest though). Make sure you have water. If you have access to a fridge, get some apples.



What you need is food that's cheap but also nutritious - if you just live on bread and sugar, you'll get ill very quickly.
Food that doesn't cost much but is also nutritious include bananas, tuna, potatoes (you don't say how you'll be cooking your food - if you have a microwave oven you can make baked potatoes), brown rice, lentils, oatmeal, carrots, chicken.



Bread
Peanut butter
Rice
Ramen soup and cup o' noodles ramen
Potatoes
Generic saltine crackers
Chips on sale
Pasta
Tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce

Buy some cheese, cheap canned vegetables and margarine to help out with eating this stuff.

I've been very poor.



Soups. Dried soup, canned soups, instant soups, you name it.
If you can not cook, than sandwiches.
Cheapest sandwich is bread, spatter a little water, add some cristal sugar. There you go.



Peanut butter (protein), whole wheat bread, brown rice, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables in season (only buy as much as you can eat before it spoils).



you can get hotdogs very cheap like 2 dollars for 8 dogs and 8 buns



I think that rice is cheapest food.



Bread, cold cuts and water. Good Luck....
