I would dumpster or steal the food. You won't be very healthy on such short cash.

Assuming it has to last a week?

A week's supply of buckwheat, mushrooms, sweetcorn, tomato paste, paprika, squash, aubergine, taro, cumin and tumeric. Put it all in a pressure cooker with water and set it to the rice setting plus 2 minutes.

I can't imagine how all that is tasty.

Oats, Rice, Lentils, Bananas, and a fuck ton of vegetables, fresh or canned, whatever's handy and/or cheaper. Peanut butter, jelly, and bread for filling in the gaps when you don't have time to cook.

That plus last-chance $1 a dozen donuts are pretty much my fucking diet these days, plus whatever else I can scrounge up or mooch off of friends.

Edit: Thought this was on askraddle instead of vegan, maybe bread is a no-go then (or maybe not, I don't pay attention to the ingredients on the bread I buy), sorry about that. Likewise the donuts, unfortunately.

I hope all these amazing ideas aren't possible because you all live in some wonderful city where things are cheaper than they are here.

I

  • shop at only two stores

  • am just learning how to shop

  • have to be driven by my caseworker if I want to go shopping, and probably can't use his kind services to just go exploring shops

  • we also have an aide who goes shopping for us, who bought me a bottle of house italian dressing (which has milk) from a store which also had plenty of bottles of normal italian dressing (which has no milk).

At the surplus grocery store nearby that would get me a ton of rice and beans. Throw in a bottle of oil and a big jar of peanut butter. Would last several weeks.
