    Cheapest things are usually starches ie) pasta, rice, etc.

    As for meat...find the cheapest cuts of beef. Thinly slice them and saute them and have them over plain rice. No more than $2 worth of food there.

    Eggs are cheap too.

    Hahaha, gotta love the college life....The other day I saw an awesome deal on whole chickens for 59 cents a pound compared to 1.50 a pound...picked up six of them and stored em away for a rainy day like this. Elios pizza is another cheap bite to eat. Also mix up some tuna with elbow pasta.

    Hold up a sign on the side of the road that says "will work for food" Or I also have seen a sign that a guy was holding up saying "Vietnam vet needs food". Just to note he looked about 35 years old.

    Bro, I'm not broke yet. But my union/company is currently on strike and I have no idea when I will see my next paycheck. So what I did in that case, is stock up on bread and tuna salad. I will be eating that daily. But hopefully, this strike will end in a week or less.

    Venison is da shizzy. That is seriously one of the best things about living here in Wisconsin. Between all of the various deer hunting seasons if you got one in each you could easily have a couple hundred pounds of lean meat. Man, I can't wait for November. Mark

    Chicken liver is cheap, $1 a pound here in Dallas. Fried with onions, one lb will give ya about 100 gms of protein.
    Yah, Tuna is good too, 32 grams per can, if you can get two cans for a dollar, that's 64 gms per $1.
    Rice, potatos, pasta for carbs, and you'll be gold.
