I used to eat those Bumble Bee tuna kits that are like $1.19.
It sucks to be too broke to eat but I have been there.

Lobster Lololol
When a death row inmate asks for lobster as his last meal he gets Gordon’s fisherman which is cod fried.

So first thing you do is fry upcbeef or chicken with about a tablespoon of sesame oil. Throw in grated fresh ginger, about a teaspoon (ground works, add the same amount), garlic- fresh or the jarred minced is fine. Then add whatever veggies you have. We prefer broccoli- it is cheap frozen.
Once the veggies are heated through add in soy sauce to taste and if you have it, a tablespoon of oyster sauce. I promise that oyster sauce is super yum.
Now, cook your ramen noodles in a pot with chicken broth OR beef broth. Remove noodle from broth when done and mix into the meat and veggies for stir fry style. If you want a soup style, pour the broth in.
Season to taste if you need salt, but soy sauce is salty. Garnish with a soft boiled egg cut in half.
Oh and throw out the nasty seasoning pack.

I drop a raw egg in the packaged ramen and make it like Chinese egg drop soup.
I used to live in Japan and they had this ramen shop outside the gate of Yokota Air Base near Tokyo that had an awesome bowl of Chesu Ramen. It was with a slice of pork and vegetables. Very tasty. Nothing like those cheap little store packages but nothing in Tokyo is cheap.

Ramen.
But potted meat on toast is in the cheap category too.

I love cooking and learning to make restaurant type food. Teriyaki chicken is my latest family pleaser.

I had one frozen mini Birdseye steak pie (you get 4 in a box for £3) I had some potatoes that started sprouting, I cut the sprouts off and cut them in cubes, smothered them in Olive old and salt and pepper and cooked in oven for 40 minutes with pie. Boiled some frozen pies. Another nice dinner which filled me up.
I only budgeted £20 for my shops this week so going to Aldi tomorrow. I have plenty of food in the freezer that needs eating. Question some things like Chicken Kievs and other things have been in the freezer over 12 months, still safe to eat?
£4 2x coffee - you get 32 sachets in total and its nice coffee
£1.50 fruit and fibre cereal
£1.50 milk
£1.50 potatoes
£2 cheese
£2 ham
£1 bread
£1.70 Frozen pies

Budgetbytes.com is a great place to find yummy inexpensive recipes. I’m not as good a cook as you but I’m getting there. (Are we allowed to post links to other sites here?)
I think the porcupine burrito may have been the cheapest meal, actually.

Left over pizzas and cooked kidney beans from neighbours…
Also I get lamb from celebrations…
I don’t want to post a link to all the photos here as they are probably triggering, but, yes, we did eat porcupine burritos.
I have a friend who is Metis (indigenous). His culture doesn’t like to kill an animal without using as much of it as possible. When he kills a porky for pest control he will field dress it and eat the meat. It’s actually not bad. They had one killing all the trees in the yard and it evaded being trapped for two weeks, so he finally had to plug it.

I mean ramen used to be 10 cents. But when I first started going to Reno to gamble they had cheap meals to lure you. I had a nice breakfast of 3 eggs omelet, hash browns, toast, and bacon for $1.58.
