1 lb of rice, 1 lb of dry beans, onion,garlic, tomatoes, jalapenos, corn tortillas, small bag of potatoes, 1 dozen eggs. Chicken drumstick or thighs are super inexpensive when on sale. You could make so much with these simple food items assuming you have oil and basic seasonings at home. Also the store you choose to shop at makes all the difference.

I lived on welfare for several yrs. Some weeks were VERY scary.I can remember scrounging through my belongings, and feeling so triumphant to find $18.00 IN CHANGE for that week's groceries. I always made sure that I had peanut butter, eggs, bread, a few apples, a couple of cans of mixed beans, spaghetti, a jar of pasta sauce, a couple of tomatoes...simple, repetitive. The smart thing to do, if you have a little more money, is to make sure you always have carrots, onions and potatoes. Basic, inexpensive and very good for adding some healthy fillers to a meal.

Each week of my last year of college, I had $10 for my groceries. I lived off campus without a vehicle and carried everything in one large bag. The week I mismanaged my money and had only $5, I ate spaghetti with sauce, milk to drink and an apple for dessert. I was hungry; it tasted good.

Simple yet works. I tend to buy pasta often and tomato sauce to season and make my own sauce for pasta as tomato sauce is 23 cents a can still. And with budget and lots of veggies you can make a tasty sauce. Bean soup comes in handy when all beans are ate to make a vegetable blend soup in the bean broth

I feel extremely bad for him, today I brought a pack of bread, chips, and water for 3, but if I buy that everyday my money would not be enough for me and him to eat.

You don't know when an emergency is gonna hit. We were camping in Kentucky when a tornado came thru the area. With the trees down etc..all the campers were stuck for a couple of days, Nearest store was miles away. The meals that lasted, we still had leftovers when all was cleared. MEAL 1:Box of macaroni cooked and drained as usual. Add can of mushroom soup, hot dogs ( if you have them) and chopped veggies. The children loved this and it makes a lot of food. MEAL 2: tortillas, a can, of corn.and a can of black beans. Put a spoon of corn and a spoon of black beans on the tortilla. You don't even have to eat it. I also made a kind of tack over the fire. It is like small round biscuits that fills you up. You can take them hiking or camping. Easy to make and cheap. Plus one can fill a grown man. Thank you for the video.

Your absolutely right about emergencies. I didn't have that kind of emergency, (thank goodness, that must of been scary!?) but the other day I was on my way to the doctor (a specialist 50 miles away form home) As soon as I pulled into the parking lot. I heard a loud bang, and saw antifreeze shooting up. Limped my car across the street to a Firestone. Found out the fan broke apart and went into the radiator. $1200.00 to be fixed! Cut into my everything budget!! I have been having Peanut Butter & Banana sandwiches! Yummy! Love fried egg sandwiches too. (with mustard) I learned a lot from my Grandparents when I was young too. (I'm 58) They lived a few miles from us. Spent many a weekend and summers there. They always had a garden. I guess that's where I learned to love all kinds of vegetables. When I got in trouble though. (very rarely) my punishment was to go weed the garden! Didn't like that part of the garden! LOL! My grandpa was a Carpenter, and would buy horses at auction and get them saddle broke and resale them. I thought that was so awesome, and always loved helping him. As a kid I always thought he just did it for fun, didn't realize it was to survive Anyway just about every weekend I would go to the Auction with them that was aways a couple hours away. On the way there we would stop at a little country store. Grandma bought a loaf of bread, a pack of Bologna, and one small bottle of Frenches Mustard. That was our dinner on the way to the Auction. I thought that was such a treat! To this day I love Bologna sandwiches, and I only like Frenches Mustard! I wouldn't trade those times and Bologna sandwiches for anything!

I think the most valuable thing here is it lets you know kinda a baseline when meal planning. People get into their ruts and don't realize how they could modify things. Take here 10 dollars a week for food as a baseline and spruce it up add 5 bucks to that plan and you can toss some chopped meat in that spaghetti sauce and on those tortillas or for 50 or 60 cents choose another fancier bean more to taste. Buy bigger bulk packs of rice or make your tortilla yourself and buy another vegie.. if you want to save money food is one of the biggest expenses that many people could change up a little to build up more pocket change.

Eggs got a horrible rap for awhile. They are the most perfect food. Thankful that I love them.

There are prices variances per location, but I hope you can get some really good deals wherever you are.

I'm out of work for 2 months while recovering from surgery and that has decimated my financial situation. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this because not only is it a budget I can swing, but you actually have breakfast/lunch/dinner for the week (most videos end up being $20-$30+/week but really only for lunch or lunch/dinner). Plus, it seems reasonably healthy and doable for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to cook or do major meal prepping. You are a Godsend, honestly. Thank you thank you thank you!!! ♡

Charlie, I hope you are doing okay still. I can relate to what you are saying. It is tough on recovery as well when you are stressed out over finances. Please let me know if you see my reply. Please send me an e-mail. You can find my e-mail address on my "About" page. Also, here is my food budget series playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLeju7WMw9rxtgQes7DEjKkM6IloGD9ksr

LOL. It's really funny because I identify with almost all comments, hence my laughter. I'm here in Brooklyn, NY (the new Manhattan with prices to go with) and have been on both sides of the topic and back again. Now, being disabled and pensioned out I'd love to leave if I could save more than two red cents a month, ha ha. I still say this - it would be nice if things were better though I know there are people (working) who are just happy that there are food pantries and/or churches and community centers that give food or groceries once or twice a week. Bottom line some folks dont even have that available, so BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU'VE GOT!!

For real though. If a meal out costs 10 dollars you can make a meal fit for a king for yourself at home for the same amount. I know people are busy, but if you can cook or meal prep at home, you will save money and eat healthier
