When you are eating cheap you eat? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

tysonK · 2006-01-23, 07:06 PM

Usually I'll do:

peanut butter jelly sammich
grilled cheese
pasta with butter on it

As you can see I don't like to cook. I'm not trying to be cheap but I get satisfaction out of trying to be cheap when I eat at home, and spend lots when I'm out.

Ramen > all other cheap food, (or < if we're talking price, I guess).

Double Phister · 2006-01-23, 07:43 PM

I could do PB&J for a while. I don't know what those babies on Big Brother* are complaining about.

Add Frozen vegetables to the water for another food group...

Quesadillas are also a great cheap food and can be microwaved unlike grilled cheese.

If you go and talk to homely girls, they'll buy you dinner. You can get some good food for free.

I have an Advantium uber-microwave that can grill a cheese sandwich. Cookies come out in 7 minutes. Deede has seen it. It cooks with light and microwave. You can't see through the glass unless the cooking lights are on. powered by 220/240V.

Peanut Butter sammaches FTW

If you are eating cheap, you probably don't have an uber-wave... Target, $49.99 submicrowave is probably more accurate...

Sometimes buying a house with the uber-wave or just the uber-wave itself causes temporary eatin' on the cheap.

sp00ln · 2006-01-23, 09:17 PM

I just ate some cheap food - pasta with some pasta sauce and some frozen stur-fry veggies (my roommates)

This is very true, and big girls are the same way, they hate to eat alone so you can usually bum dinner off them if you go with them to a resteraunt.

As far as cheap eats...I usually go into roast beef sammich mode, or clam chowder, that's about as basic as I go

cody · 2006-01-23, 09:26 PM

I make a big pot of "whatever needs to be eaten soup" and just clean out the fridge with anything that goes remotely together. Then I eat it for dinner for the rest of the week. I think I can make anything taste good because I was a cook for five years and got a culinary cert, but really I probably just have easy to please clinetele (me).

bxracer69 · 2006-01-23, 09:54 PM

potatoes.... cheap as it gets, lil salt, we have no butter but they can be preped sooo many different ways. My roomate and I are living off of them for this semester. Doesn't look like ill b at a meet til april when my job starts up again. Plus that and snowboarding, but when im on tour the school pays for food.

Forgotten · 2006-01-24, 09:37 AM

Our two staples for cheap eats are Curry and Gallo Pinto.
Curry costs maybe 5 dollars for a pot that will last 10-15 meals.
Gallo Pinto is just Costa Rican Rice and Beans, which are mixed together with spices and you can't eat them with every meal.

Seriously coolest microwave ever.

Myself I just got a microwave a couple of weeks ago. Before the I reheated everything on the stovetop.

My favorite foods.... which also happen to be cheap too are steamed rice, grilled cheese and soup, quesadillas, cinnamon toast (for dessert) and pasta.

Nick Koan · 2006-01-24, 09:55 AM

Quesadillia, canned soup, pasta w/ a made up sauce (usually olive oil and spices from the cupboard), rice.

Let's see.....I could buy a 96-pack of Ramen, or I could pay my electric bill....

Bob Danger · 2006-01-24, 10:31 AM

This is what I do; I take what ever I have that isn't large enough to eat buy its self, and throw it in a pan with some eggs, and in a couple minutes you have an omlet. I made a General's Chicken/BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger omlet yesterday, not so good.

Bob Danger · 2006-01-24, 10:33 AM

Plus you save money on your heating bill, because you can heat your house with the heat from the stove.

GC8.Love · 2006-01-24, 10:40 AM

Maruchan ramen, pasta, veggies, steamed rice, soup.

I've been drinking V8 lately for breakfast or lunch, but it's not really all that cheap (unless it's my "meal").

Plus making stuff at home is almost always cheaper than eating out.

Vindaloo would be nice...

..and I need to buy a rice cooker. -.-

Yah, that method works great with left over mexican food. Burrito Butt scramble is a beautiful thing.

hahaha OMG ewwww.

My mom tried to reuse some teriyaki pork from dinner the night before in a burrito the next day. She even reflavored it with taco seasoning. It was awful.

Another cheap trick my mom used to pull was to replace the empty milk carton with powdered milk. *thumbs down*

Dude, you're my hero, that is the funniest thing Ive read today. Was there hamburger bun in your omlette? Or just the good parts.

sonicsuby · 2006-01-24, 11:55 AM

I've been seeing a lot of Ramen eaters lately. the best part is that these guys are wearing like $400 worth of GANGSTA clothes and I see them getting in to their SUVs with DEUCE FO's but the only thing they're buying is a fuckload of Top Ramen

I'd rather eat well than look "cool"
