Hello Im a college student living on a very tight budget. I need some suggestions as to what type of items to put on my grocery shopping list as stable items that I can make a variety of meals from and that are also healthy and dont cost a lot. Thanks so much for any ideas.
Answers:
for stable items, try oats.
Other Answers:
first thing should be a rich boyfriend then maybe some milk, cereal, TV dinner, and pizza, pizza, pizza
Ramen noodles, spaghettio's, chicken, salsa, tortillas, lettuce, hamburger helper, look for sales, and stock up!
Ramen noodles, do a search, you can find lots of recipes.
on the ingredients on how to make a tuna sandwich....
bread, tuna.....
i survive by eating that for 1 semester of 3 months .....hahahhahaha
Ramen noodles! They're like 10 cents a pack. They can be eaten alone or make a great addition to something else like biscuits.
when i was there, it was cheap beer and ramen noodles.
Top Rhamen.
Frozen pot pies. 50 cents yummy and good 4u lol. thats what im living off of.
Anything that is healthy is gonna cost alot....One word cup of noodles!!!
whole wheat bread
pasta sause and try making pasta at home
vegetables basics for salad
soups
cereal and milk for mornings
stay away from top ramen etc.
Pasta is always cheap. Raman noodles are the cheapest of the cheap and when drained, make a pretty good side dish.
Always clip coupons and google around for more coupons.
I'm going to link you to a site that has a good downloadable frugal grocery list. It also has cheap meals and tips for streching your dollars out.

.Hmmm shouldnt smk all of that week at once...
now im broke because i took more & more &more....
(basiclly HEROIN RULZzzz,but its Not recomended)
Well
try the basic
Egs
Pasta(macaroni)
MILK
BREAD
and stuff like that..
about how healthy they r ..I have NO clue!!
see im from GREECE where in MOST areas there r STILL PURE FOODS
(i mean u go and collect the egs yourself,basicly i've never done it but when i go to ma village i see a lot of ppl with lots of animals...)
now at your place?
you probably gonna ask what milk(cows or soy?)well im sorry...no soya here...
Bad for our DNA....
Eggs, tortillas (bread can be bought cheap at the "day old stores" - most bread companies have a few in major cities), those ramen noodles get old but they work in a crunch, pop corn for snacks, rice, beans, bananas, frozen foods like burritos and pot pies, cans of soup. If you can follow recipes, there are simple bread recipes with flour, water, sugar and eggs. Between this, cutting coupons in the Sunday paper, watching sales and finding out when stores mark down their produce and meat (and getting there right after wards) I managed to live through the lean college years without starving! Good luck.
At walmart, there is a frozen dinner brand called budget gourmet. Most are priced around 1.50 or less and there are a lot of low fat options.
Buy in bulk and freeze what you won't use in a couple days. It will cost more for that grocery trip but save in the long run. I do this with chicken breasts then just zap whatever I need for that day in the microwave. Most vegetables are affordable if you buy them frozen.
Um...bread, peanut butter, rice, beans etc are all very cheap and healthy if balanced properly. Mac and cheese mixed with a can of tuna can make an affordable quick meal.
If you are really bad off on your budget, look into getting food stamps...most college students should be eligible. Also, sometimes local groups (churches near campus etc) will hand out free canned food to college students that are short on cash.
Depending on your likes and dislikes...tuna, peanut butter, jelly, canned soups and other canned meals, cereal, hot cereal [i.e. oatmeal packets], crackers, cheeses, cold cuts, carrots, bagged salad, dressing, fruit [only a few pieces at a time], pancake mix, syrup, eggs, bottled juices, applesauce, canned vegetables [including potatoes], bread, milk. Shop your local store and familiarize yourself with prepackaged items, and learn when they discount meats. If they have a "card" sign up for it to save money. Use coupons. Don't buy things on impulse. Shop sales.
u wanna buy steak and lobster and hambuger,hotdogs shrimp,and a cup of noodles
Rice, ramen noodles, pasta. Shop at Costco or similar stores for bigger size items.
How about some non food items as well? I always check the number of feet in toilet paper and paper towels. Dollar General has toilet paper that is 2.50 for I think 652 feet of toilet paper. But if you dont have a Dollar General, the best way to check is NOT by the number of rolls but by the number of feet. I've seen packs of 8 rolls of toilet paper contain only 400 feet while 4 rolls had 650 feet. Now about food, here's an old favorite, Vienna sausages , and eat them with crackers. Moon Pie and an RC Cola, Like the dude wrote before, Pizza!!! Especially frozen pizza can be very good and filling. Snicker candy bars. They give you energy and fill you up faster. Peanut butter and cracker (you know the orange colored crackers with peanut butter in the middle. Get them and a coke or Pepsi.
Go to Wal Mart and get the wal mart brand of sodas. They are usually only .59 to .79 cents and taste pretty much like their competition's. The DOCTOR TOPPER, which is a resemblance to Dr Pepper is actually better tasting than Doctor Pepper and lots cheaper.
Get a head of lettuce, tomato, and onion and onion salt, and make a salad. In fact, you could make as many as 3 salads, and let them sit one hour before eating. That way they are good and soggy.
Loaf of wheat bread, cold cuts, JFG mayonaise, and Hunter Farms chocolate milk.

good staple items to always have on hand are rice pasta beans flour meal and a assortment of spices with theese items you can start most any meal just because you are on a budget does not mean you have to eat poorly either if you shop at discount groceries and ask you grocier when they recieve new produse and meats in each week you can shop there the day before and get alot of bargins being reduced for sale to make room for new items also don't be afraid to buy in bulk and use your freezer for more than ice bulk items are usualy priced lower and allways take your calculater with you to the store to insure you are getting the best price and are on budget but the best shopping tip of all is to never shop on a empty stomach you will buy alot of impulse items and not only blow your budget but not have enogh food to make your week i have lived on a extremely tight budget for several years now and trust me if you keep in mind theese simple little thoughts you can dine like a king on a poor persons budget
no ichiban noodles- pure fat/high sodium, bad for you!
Nutritious and cheap staples are:
eggs, whole wheat bread, beans, peanuts/peanut butter, hamburger/ground chicken, apples, frozen juice concentrates, soups with meat/beans, pasta and canned sauce (brown some meat and add), rice cakes, popcorn ###basically anything high in protein/nutrition you like to eat!
Ideas you can make from above with basic spices:
french bread, omelets, spaghetti and garlic bread, beans on toast, sloppy joes, soup and toast, burgers, pasta salad, etc. Imagination!
-$1 lunch bean salad (I throw in a bowl: cans of mixed beans, sweet corn, green beans, and chopped onion, chopped veges on hand, and a good dollop of italian dressing. Sit overnight, YUM! High fibre/protein/cheap/so good for you/fills you up for hours, and does lunches/stays good for 7 days)
You are learning how to stretch your dollar and survive in the real world, excellent skills for your lifetime. Watch for sales, bulk up. I buy canned goods up to 6 months in advance, often at half price. Watch expiry dates. Use and collect coupons.
Good luck, happy creating!
as everyone else has said,gotta have the ramen noodles(extremely cheap & not bad, if you drain them);rice; macaroni noodles; canned spaghetti sauce is usually less than a dollar;flour tortillas; large hamburger "logs" (usually 5lbs for $5);eggs;bread(store brand usually close to 70cents)peaunut butter & jelly; tea packets to brew(can make several gallons out of 1 box); sugar;small jugs of milk;hot dog weinies & cheap lunch meat (usually about 50 cents a pack);canned beans, corn, green beans;tuna;mayo/salad dressing;The sliced cheese can be melted in with the ramen noodles(not to bad & makes it a bit different), you can also use the cheese on the flour tortillas melted.you can crumble up & brown the hamburger meat & mix with rice & a can of cream of mushroom soup.Hope this is of some help to ya!
ramen noodles.breads,jam,fruits,ham, and diet cokes
salad stuff, ramen noodles, get your friends to go in with you on groceries and make soup and casseroles and share
Actually, your list should depend on your freezer/fridge space. Meats can be frozen up to a year if wrapped in saran wrap and foil in a freezer bag. Depending on how often you'll cook, bulk packs of chicken or fish can be helpful. Always keep some minute rice or uncle ben's around if you like them.
