After losing my great job at Subway, I can no longer afford to "eat fresh," and I am not used to being a poor, worthless piece of trash who serves no real purpose other than to waste your oxygen.

So I ask you, NG, what some good foods are for a man of my stature, on a weekly food budget of around $10. I know that can buy many, many packs of Ramen Noodles, but those grow a bit bland after a while. How can I get the best bang for my buck?!

Some day, a signature will go here.

$10 a week?

Well, the cheapest thing I can think of is noodles. All kinds of noodles. Ramen may be bland, but it's enough.

To anyone suggesting fast food, $10 a week equates to about $1.42 per day.
That's one value menu item per day, with nothing else. Try again.

I suggest you get yourself another job as quickly as possible, and stomach ramen the best you can. When you're broke you can't afford to be choosy.

Maybe if you wanted to vary your diet a bit, you could buy bread and have that instead of noodles. Honestly, you leave yourself with very few options for such a small budget, but if you go to a big supermarket they should have some line of products which are cheap and nasty, but could at least offer some variety.

Get some ratty clothes and run down to the local homeless shelter. That way, you'll get fed, and you get to keep the $10.

Tell me you're at least looking for a job, I'll go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are, but at least tell me you're trying.

Be sure to mix it up with Ramen noodles. Do something like beef one day, then chicken the next, then shrimp the next. Buy a variety of all the types you like.

Some other really cheap foods I can think of are:
Banquet Pot Pies are very cheap, ranging below a dollar at all times. I personally don't like them, but my parents love them.

Also, instead of getting name brand foods try off-brand, like there off brand Fruit Loops.

Off the McDonals Dollar Menu you can get a McDouble and a value fry for two dollars, and a large water. Also, any time you go to a fast food place pick up plenty of ketchup and sauce packets. They come in handy do you don't have to buy ketchup bottles or sauce.

I think this has been a little bit helpful. :3

Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life.
