What is some cheap food, high in calories?
I am poor at the moment, and I need some food that will last a while, taste OK but nothing special, high in calories but still somewhat healthy, and is mainly inexpensive. So for example, frozen pizzas are good, while ramen noodles are bad. Any thoughts?
Answers:
eggs, tuna, peanut butter
store brand boxed mac & cheese
spaghetti or pasta; you can make you own sauce cheaply with canned tomatoes, fresh vegs, and a small amount of meat
hot dogs and some lunch meats (especially watch for store specials)
chicken legs and thighs (with bone) I frequently buy a whole chicken at 65 cents a pound; bake it and you will have several meals out of it
Food you prepare yourself is far cheaper and better for you than prepared foods you can buy. There are LOTS of recipes for tasty foods that cost like a quarter a serving if you do your own prep and shop carefully.
