I'm not gonna lie, that shit looks good to me lol Another couple of go-to favorites of mine for cheap meals were those cans of hormel chili(I still eat them on the reg) with some crackers and those cans of mac 'n cheese. The chili is fuckin money with sriacha, just can't eat that everyday, obviously lol

We need to get CS on fucking survivor or something, damn...

You must not have read the thread. That's exactly what he's been doing.

I read it on and off, but I know that in general, he does not like to steal. I understand why he's morally flexible when it comes to some things, since he's taken other people's electricity before. I didn't know that he'd taken water, though. Considering that the former can get you into a lot more trouble than the latter, I can understand the latter even more.

Regardless, I suppose I've at least established that, if you ever need help being a vagrant, I'm there for you.

Man, the days when I used to be a master at running to and jumping over fences in one swoop.

you ever try going to Save-a-lot? Its a really cheap store, the one by me is pretty hood, but they have a lot of stuff for really cheap, most of it is non name brand stuff but you can get all kinds of cans of stuff for like 79 cents, like the cans of chili someone mentioned earlier, hot dogs, rice, beans, all kinds of stuff for like a dollar. They also do a lot of stuff on sale for 10 for $10, so only $1 each if you just get one. Not sure if any are close to you, can check at http://save-a-lot.com/store-locator If you do check it just know to bring your own bag because they charge a few cents per plastic bag if you want them, and I know the one by me charges 25cents to be able to use a cart lol.

Will check them out tomorrow, but looking at their add, their meat/chicken is pretty much the same price as walmart

[Slynkee]

yeah I was mainly suggesting them for canned/boxed food, plus they have things like packs of ground sausage and turkey for $1 usually, which the $1 things would be best for you since you pretty much need to eat most things the same day, probably not the best of quality but Im sure its way better than dried ramen. Was in a bind a month or 2 back when my gf unexpectedly lost her job right after we payed for her semester of classes and rent was due, so had a few dollars to live off of for about 4 days til I got my next paycheck, for $3 there ended up getting a pack of buns (better value would be a loaf of bread) a pack of hotdogs and a can of chili and made chili dogs for dinner one night.

How to Cook Yummy Food without a Refrigerator

Breakfast . . .

Toasted bread, with a side of fruit.
A cup of granola and fruit.

Lunch . . .

An egg sandwich. Usually, I fry up my eggs, with a little bit of olive oil, toast the bread and add additional goodies like carrots, cheese and lettuce.
Hard boiled eggs with bread and fruit.
A small bowl of Quinoa or rice, with peanuts on top.

Dinner

Quinoa or rice stir-fry with vegetables, like carrots, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and green beans.
Frittata with mushrooms, carrots and peppers.
Salad, with dried cherries, an apple and balsamic vinegar. We never forget to pick up a baguette and some cheese for a side dish.
Tacos with corn tortillas, eggs, sweet potatoes, onion and garlic.
Pasta with garlic and onion sauteed in olive oil.

Butter/margarine - shelf life about 2 weeks
Eggs -shelf life at least a week
Cheese - keep covered, shelf life variable- taste when unrefrigerated hugely better
ketchup/mustard - shelf life - forever
honey - shelf life - forever
onions/garlic - shelf life - 2 weeks
tomatoes - shelf life - 4 days
cabbage - shelf life - 1 week
cooking oil - shelf life - months
peanut butter - shelf life - months

Lies. Ketchup and mustard go bad.

[Byrthnoth]

Also, CS probably has no way to keep Butter solid in Florida.

Lies. Ketchup and mustard go bad.

Only in hot places / left exposed.

FL, really, it's like 90 all year round.

[hey]

Yeah, i wouldn't want to keep large amounts of ketchup unused forever, but they will definitely last a long time without being refrigerated. Since he's in florida, he may want to get small bottles so it doesn't last as long, but otherwise it'll be fine.

[Kerberoz]

Fuck ketchup; get sriracha. No one knows if that shit expires because it's too delicious to not finish off.

[notorious bum]

I've had my half-bottle backup supply in my cabinet for a few months now. It seems like it lost a little consistency, but still tastes like awesome.

Time to get an Ebisu and take up fishing.

Time to get an Ebisu and take up fishing.

as funny as this was...actually... this might be a good idea lmao.

If ya can get a free fishing pole, you can see if there are any docks that allow free fishing. I know in Oceanside they have one where a huge stream of people just sit there all day and catch fish. (there's even a bait n' tackle shop on the pier...and a restaurant at the end lol).
