Take your struggle eastwards.

I often do this one with shoyu and natto and raw okra. Simple, easy and healthy.

Tuna sandwiches, flavoured tuna on rice or pasta with just olive oil and salt (flavoured salts if I have any on hand)

Marmite sandwiches or Furikake with rice for the ultrabudget meal/snack

EDIT forgot whole potato just zapped in a microwave

 

[ivanthebearable]

Scrambled Egg with cut up Sausage mixed in.
Rice with an egg cracked directly on top

Toast and Tea is something I only have when I can't afford anything else. I don't really have them much otherwise.

Shredded cheese melted on top of Triscuits.

Pea soup. Add water according to how poor you are.

 

[p_xavier]

I still eat like a poor person. I have baloney and kraft dinner many times a month. I love pea soup. Having a tv dinner meal when I was younger was considered a treat.

 

[crazyrabbits]

Some of y'all have no concept of poverty food.

Depends on whether the person has any money at all. In my neighbourhood, I can pick up a couple big bags of groceries for $25 or less at one of the no-name stores if I felt like it.

........that can't be healthy.

Spoiler

Any NX info.

The struggle is real hahaha


But anyway, anything

But specifically

 

[Dennis]

Toasted White Bread + Butter + Sugar

One of my friends would eat this. Except the bread wasn't toasted.

Grossed me the fuck out.

 

[BlueTsunami]

White rice and milk
White rice and an omelette
White rice and corned beef (in can)
White rice and finger sausages (the ones in cans)

Basically white rice %insert something cheap%


Oh wait this is about favorites things. None of the above are good to me.

Grilled cheese sandwichs without a doubt.

 

[Pancake Mix]

A bowl of plain cheerios, nothing added.
A bowl of plain oatmeal, nothing added.
Powdered skim milk

Okay, not that lost one.

Sarcasm lol? Evidently that's just how they spell things across the pond (i.e. Bloodbourne, neighbour)

I think it's sarcasm rather than ignorance, looking at his tag.

 

[Like the hat?]

I never understood this one. Bread with butter and cheese? Or am I missing something?

Bologna fried in the pan. That was our version of steaks

Bologna microwaved until it turned in to a bowl, filled with canned chili.

 

[SlickShoes]

Porridge with generic brand jam in it. Can get huge amounts of porridge for very cheap and a jar of jam is about £1 at the most.

I love porridge though it's my staple breakfast and my non struggle version is to replace the jam with nutella.

 

[Sushi Nao]

Spoonful of peanut butter

50% off pork, fried with green pepper and onion, mixed with a box of KD.. couple days of cheap meal

A mouthful of dry cereal that you pour some milk into before you run out the door

French toast.. feels classy, can be made with any old bread

Pancakes.. a box of mix is dead cheap

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Back in my childhood, struggle food was eating beans on toast for every meal. Asda used to do cans of beans for 5 pence, and loaves of bread for 29 pence, and we had that, along with spam, various cheap spreads, cheap cheese, and pasta with just tomato sauce on it, for breakfast and dinner, free school lunches, for years and years, unless it was special occasions like christmas or someones birthday.

 

[DarthWoo]

Boil a pack of instant ramen, drop in an egg. Maybe throw in some vegetables if I have them.

 

[HiiiLife]

Nesquik powder.

 

[xaosslug]

dry ramen noodle blocks + peanut butter & jelly.

y'all had 'red stuff'? Try rice + salt.

The red stuff is his blood. He cut himself so at least he'd have a taste.

 

[mhanna49]

Ramen, white or brown rice with chicken breast and a little bit of frozen vegetables. Add sriracha, Tabasco or another hot sauce for a little kick.

[PfantzyPantz]

Rice with anything, recently came to find out how good hotdogs and rice + soy sauce is.

 

[KevinCow]

Two slices of cheddar cheese in between two pieces of bread, put in toaster oven for 5 minutes. Cheap and shitty "grilled" cheese sandwich.
