that's a little more than $15 USD. So lets see ... $7 ground beef, $5 cereal, $3 hamburger buns. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just make smaller portions, and probably try eating at friend's houses. And learn to love cereal for a week.

Ramen is not even fifty cents, so I'd be fine.

Instant ramen and more instant ramen. Along with some iced tea mix.

You know, my usual diet.

If you're shopping online, ramen is all $1. I haven't seen ramen in stores for this "not even fifty cents" you speak of. So lets say you only buy ramen as your food for the week, at $1 each.

Since I'm using USD, we'll round it down to 15 USD. 7 days in a week, so...
15 / 7 rounds down to 2.

For 7 days you, Chdonga, will be eating 2 packets of ramen for your daily meal.

Hell , most of the time I am living on 15 Euro a week food budget so a 10 pound one shouldn't be too hard , just have to cut back on some more luxurious stuff . All I need is Bread , Milk , Cereal and some Meat slices

[sheffgb]

Yeah i get noodles for 12p each and i think i will definitely be making my own chips this week :D went and got big bag of sweetcorn and peas to mix with noodles

each packet of ramen contains 3,000+ grams of sodium so you tell me if it's healthy or not

We never said it was healthy, we said it was tasty and cheap. No need to insult us.

[Lorkas]

One KG of cabbage costs less than 1 dollar here, so I guess I could survive.

since we is plural you know

Both Sheffgb and Chdonga mentioned that they were cheap. And both Sheffgb and I implied that they were at least moderately good tasting.

also you know it'd be alot more smart if you were working with little money to be healthy as possible, 3k grams of sodium has the unhealthy equivalence of some candy bars

I'm pretty sure one can live on ramen for a week, man. Calm down.

would you live off candy bars?

Nah, I don't like candy bars that much. Besides, he said for one week. He never said that he'd be on that budget for a long time.

Get a limited supply of bacon.

Way to seem like a douche when proven wrong. I like your posts, Addict, but this just seemed kind of douchy. You asked for 2 posts, in an insulting manner, and then when those two posts were given, you act all "oh wait i didnt give a fuck because im wrong whatever" Just my 2 cents.

Also ramen is fucking gross so I would just buy tons of bread and some water.

[andy70707]

I live on £10/5 days just for lunch, IDK how you could last 1 week including all meals. I guess just get loads of really cheap but high energy food and fruit/vegetables.

[mattuiop]

Pot noodles. pasta. ragu and some gas for heating

yes...cheap food is rarely healthy...

see: every fast food chain in the world

[Yrtnej]

A jar of peanut butter and two loaves of bread for about $4.

I pocket the rest of the money.
