i have 50 bucks to last me a week and half for food!?

Question

what should i get i am canadian!

Answer 1

agree with the pasta , very cheap and tastes good

is there any way to just ban the words cashcrate here? rediculous spamming by those people

Answer 2

Is the 50 bucks for your food cost alone, and no one else?

If so, then do the following:

1. Get a big bag of rice. (less than $2)
2. Get three or four bags of assorted beans (lentils, black beans, split peas, your choice) (about $1 a bag)

Cook #1 as needed, and cook #2 as needed. Mix #1 and #2 and eat. You may get sick of it, but if you vary it up and maybe add some different spices (curry powder, for one) you will be able to stick it out for a week and a half. You can also mix in some cheap frozen vegetables (about $2 a bag). Here's hoping that you get more than $50 when the week and a half is over!

Stay away from CashCreate, Treasure Trooper and other survey Web sites.

It is a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.

If you choose to be suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive, free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

A lot of work to collect the "reward payments" that payout is not worth the effort over time. You will need to sign up for many types of offers, most of which require you to use a credit card. You start a week trial service with varies types of businesses or services, such as, an Internet service provider, book club, credit monitoring service, etc. to get your reward. If you don't cancel the trial, you end up being charged for the service and each service has different rules about how and when you can cancel. Very cumbersome!

Since you will need to sign up for at least a dozen offers before you get to $100 in rewards, it's very easy to forget what you have signed up for, or the problems you will have canceling in time to to be charged the full amount. The Cash Create recruiters you see here over exaggerate how much money you can earn because once you've done the high-dollar trials ($8-10 each), you are left with small rewards of a dollar or two. The survey business is not an efficient way to make money and you are more than likely to loose money in the end.

Ok, so I'm in the Uk and your 50 bucks equals our 21 pounds. That's cool, I've done 2 weeks on 20 pounds before now.
You need to have a look at what's in your cupboards and fridge right now. Have you got the basics such as milk, bread, butter??
If not, you'll have to get them but in smaller, cheaper versions.
You need to make a list of everthing you're going to eat for the next week and a half. If you eat breakfast, then buy a cheap box of cereal. Lunch is gonna have to be really cheap bread and a cheap filler such as ham slices or hard bolied eggs. Dinner will be a carbohydrate fest as these are the cheapest foods to buy....pasta, potatoes, rice. But make your list of meals and stick to it. Take the list to the store with you and bring along a calculator. Take your time shopping, seek out the cheapest brands and don't be put off by other people. Here's what i have when i'm on an "economy week":
1. cereal, sandwich, spaghetti with tomato sauce
2. cereal, sandwich, pasta shells with mushroom sauce
3. cereal, sandwich, mashed potato & cabbage
4. cereal, sandwich, beans on toast
5. cereal, sandwich, omelette
and on it goes.......tailor the cheap food to what you like! Oh, and drink water too. Free! Good luck! XXX

Answer 5

You need fuel. Get canned tuna and frozen veggies by the bagful. Make one of them edamame or some other beany thing that will have protein. Stay away from processed foods because you won't be able to afford to add anything nutritious to it. Have a good cereal like Total or special K, with skim milk. Stay away from pasta and bread.They're cheap but no nutrition. Use a leaf of spinach instead of a slice of bread.

Answer 6

When I was strapped for cash it was spaghetti, cheap frozen burritos or microwave popcorn.

Telling you to eat healthy and buy bread, fruit, veggies and juice and all that is great advice, but those can be some of the more expensive things - at least in my grocery store.

You won't die of malnourishment in a week or 2 if you eat off the healthy pyramid for a while.

Answer 7

I would work at the cash-flow end of it. The food is not the problem- it's your self-limitation.

There are thousands of jobs you could do for friends, family, neighbors for a few bucks a pop.

I wash windows, clean gutters, do weeding, cut grass, whatever folks hate to do. Ask around and see what jobs people hate to do. Women will always tell you about the jobs they want to have done, but their Husbands never get around to.

Inside of every problem, there is opportunity!

Use your hunger to get creative!

Answer 8

Bread, hot dogs, dry beans, dry rice, cheap soup, potatoes, cheap cereal, milk, pasta, can tomatoes, cheap popcorn, can tuna, can chicken, and eggs. Have hot dogs and fried potatoes, cook beans and rice, soup and egg sandwich, cereal, cook pasta, add tomatoes and spices, mix tuna, one egg, and some flour, fry up tuna patties with a baked potatoe, boil pasta, add canned chicken, and some cream soup. Popcorn for snack. Fried eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Hope this helps....
