[QUOTE=KorJax;18481212]I tried to make those the night I made English muffin pizza's. Go figure though my local supermarket doesn't sell whole pita bread, they only sell some fancy expensive brand where the pita's are cut in half.
Thanks for the tips guys. We have eggs and rice. I've actually never made rice before (we have tons of it though). Any cool recipies that involve rice? Other than just you know... rice and eggs or something. And not as complicated as fried rice either.
Also, we have a waffle maker. [B] Fuck yes.[/B][/QUOTE]
Waffles are easy to make, too!
Rice is very easy to make, 1 cup rice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer (low heat) for 18 - 20 minutes. Do not take the cover off. Throw in some carrots and onions at the beginning if you'd like.
Very cheap and good for you.
[QUOTE=dark_console2;18484663]One or two chicken breasts, skin off, or similar qty diced chicken meat
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated cheese
Parmesan
One small onion, chopped
A dash of grated chilli (optional)
Cut the chicken breast into 1" cubes, toss with most of the breadcrumbs, the parmesan and the chilli.
Place chicken in a deep, rectangular dish (eg. the sort of thing you'd bake a deep, rectangular loaf in), add the onion and stir it all around. Then spread the grated cheese on top and sprinkle with the remaining breadcrumbs.
Bake in a medium hot oven for 90 minutes. The top should go brown & crusty, and you should be able to see the juices bubbling if you're using a glass oven dish.
I like to serve this with fresh English spinach and boiled potatoes, or maybe a quick garden salad.
(Allow one chicken breast per 2 people. Increase the quantity if the breasts are very small or the people are very large.)[/QUOTE]
By breadcrumbs do you mean stuffing? Or just literally crushed up pieces of bread? Sounds good.
Whenever I am hungry I make some variation of a fried egg sandwich, here are a few combinations that taste pretty good:

Toasting/Frying the bread.
[b]Classic:[/b]
Good ol' Fried Egg.

[b]Egg Banjo:[/b]

Fried Egg Sub:
Any of the above except in a sub.
Honestly, they are filling, delicious, cheap, and best of all only take 2-5 minutes to make.
Cereal. You can live on cereal for a long, long time. Cheap, doesn't go off for a long, long time, and assuming you eat the healthy stuff, and aren't one of those freaks who don't have milk with cereal, then you should get a nice portion of whatever the fuck your body needs from it.
Put some sliced banana or strawberry on there for good measures if you want.
Fuck, I want some fucking cereal now.

I'm one of those freaks, I have orange juice on cereal.

I need to figure out how to conserve money myself. I made the mistake of assuming I had a bottomless bank account and now find myself living off four hundred bucks. Ouch. Luckily, food is free so long as I walk to the defac for every meal.
It'd help if my roommate would stop eating all my damn food, or at least chip in for groceries and supplies. Fucking mooch.

Just tell him, bro.
Spaghetti bolognese, stirfry and curry.
If you're lazy you can just buy jars of sauces for them.
Also, lasagne. Learn to make this. Make a big one and it'll last you for a couple of days at least. MEans you won't have to cook eveyrday :D
I'm surprised nobody has said simple rice and beans. They're dirt cheap and are a complete protein. Also you can throw in any random shit to spice it up.

Shit in a cup?
Or that really yummy stuff?
[editline]08:17PM[/editline]
Right;
-Curry (Or whatever)
-Lamb Knuckles
-Rice
Fill pot with water and the curry powder,
Add knuckles after it is boiling.
Begin to cook rice
Once the knuckles are finished, throw some spice on them, and take out the rice.
Epic army rations.

It's actually pretty nice.
What about pepper steak and rice? Just need rice, gravy packets, and meat. Cook a big pot, and feeds a family of 4 for 5 days. Or, just cook ground beef, season, and enjoy.

I feel you. I'm currently shopping for all the groceries (about $20-30 a week) and my two roomates not only make more money than I do but also happen to eat all the food I buy (well... I eat plenty of it too but still). I just talked to them about it though and they offered to chip in for groceries so I'm not spending $6 for 25oz of popcorn chicken only to find it gone the next day.
Do you have $400 and no income? I only have about $800 saved up in checking (not including the $450 I have in savings from HS) but I make an (unreliable) amount of money each month that's enough to pay rent and etc.
I'm super fucking worried when janurary comes around though. I work at target, and they don't give jack shit pay once the season is over. Hell half of the time I would get 5-10 hour work weeks last janurary, it was terrible.
Shopping smarter is another way to save money. Check for coupons and actually read the fliers they send you. I just got 8 pounds of chicken breasts for free because I spent a certain amount on other groceries that I'd have to buy anyway (Coupon offer). That's $30 saved.
Somebody already posted this, but really, YOU MUST DO IT:

Delicious if you get it right, horrendous if you somehow manage to get it wrong.

sooo good
Ahhh so I just made some rice mixed in with that "perfect scrambled egg" on the first page, with some popcorn chicken pieces I had cooked in the oven from the store.
Put some cheese on top, a weee bit of basil (I dunno what it is really, I just feel fancy for putting spices in things), garlic powder, and salt....
Tastes damn good. And since rice/eggs are so cheap (no the chicken though), it's good stuff for the wallet too!
The dish screams for soy sauce though we don't have any. Also there are probibly better/fancier ways to cook it instead of doing it all seperate and then just mixing, but eh

[QUOTE=Itszutak;18481381]MREs.[/QUOTE]
The ones with laxative candies are fun.
Here's what I like to make.
Get some ground beef and taco meat seasoning and cook the meat until browning.
Get some flour tortillas, cheddar cheese, jack cheese and jalapenos.
Grate the cheese 50/50 on first then add the jalapenos and meat to half the tortilla and fold it over. throw two of those into a frying pan and set the stove top to 80% and keep flipping the tortillas over until both sides are nice and crispy. If the cheese isn't melted in the center just keep flipping them over rapidly to avoid burning the tortillas while letting the cheese melt.
It's one delicious meal when it's done, and very filling. Make lots of meat and put it in the fridge, once you have the meat, making the whole thing only takes about 10 minutes.
On the note of cheese why is blocked cheese so much more expensive per ounce? You'd think the price would be cheaper considering they don't have to shred it and it takes a good few minutes of manual shredding yourself, but I always find them to be $1-$2 more expensive than just the standard shredded cheese for $1.50-$2.00 or so.
At my grocery store they sell this box of kraft macaroni and cheese that costs like $2.36, while the standard size box (posted earlier in this thread) was like $4+. This cheap box uses a gelatin cheese, meaning it you don't have to add the powder, butter and milk because you can squeeze the cheese in and mix away. The best part is that the box is rather large, and can feed 2 people, because a lot of times I can't even finish the whole bowl if its just me eating!

Trust me a college persons best food ever. If its just you and your dorm mate all you need to do is order a large pizza and you have dinner, and breakfast.
Breakfast. Around the clock. This appears to be the general consensus, also. If I could get away with it, I'd eat cold cereal every meal of every day.
Toasted cheese sandwich, fried in egg.
Also, pasta in sauce with some cheap ham and egg fried rice are cheap, easy to make meals.
-fucking ninjad somehow-
I'm such a lazy fuck that when I cook I often just make pasta. I put a fuck load of pepper in and jalapenos because I like spicy stuff. I do the same with instant noodles. In fact I put fuck loads of pepper and jalapenos in almost everything.
Red Onions- 0.59$/lb
Green Peppers- 0.88$/lb
Potatoes- 2.86$/5lb
Carrots- 1.72$/bunch
Basil- 2.11$/bunch
It's not that expensive to eat healthy food, you just have to prepare it yourself. All of those ingredients right there could make you soup for about a week.
I've written down a few things from this thread...
Something I'd recommend buying is a student cookbook, there are loads to chose from these days but they all do the same thing. I have one my gran got me when I moved out, and it's got 10,20 and 30 minute meals all of which are cheap, healthy and substantial. It's also got a section that tells you what you can make by combining leftovers from various other meals in the book etc.
Pretty handy.
