It's not hard to be cheaper than fast food, other than possibly dollar/value menus.
All of the "staples" are insanely cheap - potatos, rice, etc. Most vegetables are as well. Toss in som emeat of whatever was on sale and you can easily cook a meal for 4 for 10 dollars, if not quite a bit cheaper.
- prawn 11y agoExactly. You just have to look past the 'big steak with some chips' meals, and appreciate something with staples plus a smaller portion of meat (e.g., stirfry, pasta, curry/stew bulked with potatoes).
- arebop 11y agoAlso, be willing to eat canned vegetables.
- mc32 11y agoFrozen veggies are healthier and cheaper. Plus you get to cook them to your taste, rather than what the canner decides (cooking too long, adding salts, etc.) http://www.heathernicholds.com/nutrition/frozen-vs-canned-vegetables http://www.heathernicholds.com/nutrition/frozen-vs-canned-ve...
- deadlast 11y agoFrozen veggies definitely win if you have access to refrigeration -> access to energy. Canning is a revolutionary preservation technique in that it allows for long-term storage of perishables at room temperature.
