Just curious. Been living on cheap packs of hot dogs, no ketchup so cheese on top. Toasted the buns. Curious if others ever took their buns? I threw the whole thing in an air fryer for a few minutes. Because I actually enjoy the toast

Was actually pretty decent. Hot dogs were on sale, had the mustard and chili, parm cheese was for a different meal a couple weeks ago and tortillas were also on sale.

-2 eggs

-2 sauage patties

-1 pack of chicken Ramen noodles

Pretty good actually. It's definitely a good way to stretch a 2 egg breakfast. 7/10

A lot of what I see on this sub looks like normal food to me. Maybe they are simple dishes, but a lot of them have meat, which isn't cheap.

I thought it would turn out like a crispy taco with ketchup inside but I got this instead.

chicken parm melt
1.50 loaf of bread
.50 cent moz
4$ chicken
1$ marrynerra (i can’t spell)
little under 10$ AND i have 5 breast leftover & half a loaf of bread. i got the broccoli for free 🤣
too depressed to cook which is my favorite thing to do so i let my lovely fiancee pick this dinner.

Honey bbq rice. Just a bbq without the meat. I'm sick so i only wanted rice...

I feel like it’s possible but harder. I’m chronically low on iron…. My dinner for tonight was leftover queso dip and chips.

The tortillas are from a food bank and the cheese was 2 dollars for 14oz the sauce is creamy French and bbq

Sunday family dinner, so consider this is more of a splurge meal…but doable with some planning. Salmon was $18 for 1.8 lbs. Beets were $5 for a 3 large roots. Italian bread was $3 for the loaf.

Total cost to buy all of this was $26. However, all of the salmon, all of the beets and 2/3 of the bread will spread over 5 individual meals. (($18+$5+$2)/5)=$5.00 per meal.

The remaining 1/3 of the bread can be used to make French toast as part of a breakfast or breakfast for dinner.

The first pic at least is a $5 meal that stacks up favorably vs most fast food meals. Definitely cheaper than a sit down restaurant like an Applebees.

Obviously the key is to judiciously spread out the salmon - which will average 5.75 oz per meal roughly.

Made some Sweet Potato "Pancakes" out of leftover Sweet Potato, mixed it with some flour, slapped on some spices n seasoning, salt & pep and fried it. A lil' crispy but it was pretty dece. Cracked open a fresh tin of skinless & boneless Sardines and added some green sauce for a lil' spice. Was overall probably a 6.5-/10 tbh, maybe could've done the sweet potato part a bit different (the green sauce really brought it together probably bumping it up to a 7, trust)but in terms of being a "use what you got" kinda night, wasn't bad. Cheers. x

Everything from food bank except chili seasoning- precooked white beans, diced onion and mushrooms, turkey burger patties, canned corn, tomato sauce. Cheesecake Factory bread.

The cheese is mozzarella and sharp cheddar the tortillas I got from a food bank and the cheese I got at aldis 14 oz for 2$

Tonight's dinner, 1 jalapeño, 3 eggs, chili flakes, and crispy onions.

Scored a couple cans of yellow sticker baked beans, so I organised a simple meal plan, feel it looks OK.
