I personally know some folks who spend all their money on fast food, and then online it seems pretty common folks not knowing how to cook causes massive financial problems.

My super duper cheap meal that takes no effort is “lazy rice veggie soup”: Can of peas and carrots cooked with a bouyon cube until cube is dissolved Add cooked rice to mix, and heat until rice is flavorful with absorbed broth

I do a cup of dried rice, and a can of peas and carrots which means the soup has 800ish calories and I think it’s pretty good as it’s either 2 small meals that you can have sides with, or one large one!

So what are your cheap meals you like to make? The less well known, the better!

    Bro, it’s like hotdog slices 10x on steroids. Spam is so fucking underrated. It’s probably due to it being slightly slimy and gross coming out of the can, but damn if it doesn’t smell like bacon when it’s frying. Could also be that eating a lot of it will definitely give you a fucking heart attack lol.

      Oh, don’t get me wrong. I love some pan fried spam with eggs. Add some bread for a tasty sandwich.
