If so did the clerk at the grocery store ever give you a "I know you're broke until payday" look? I mean it's gotta be the cheapest meal on the planet.. like 45 cents for a bowl.

OMG Kuji nailed it! I'd buy bags of frozen vegetables for 90 cents a bag also! You have been down and out, I love it!

OK, OK, I was wrong about the price, I think it's more like 96 cents for 12 bags! I stand corrected and I do admit I am wrong...

D@mn Lt. Dan I know broke! I donated plasma yesterday afternoon. I used the $40 for gas and a cheap carton of smokes from the Indian Reservation in Holton. I got halfway there and had to pull over by some ceramic shop off the highway (thank God, my mom was driving) because I went into full shock! Yep, I guess you can probably guess what happened next. I got a ride in the ambulance (that I totally have no memory of) and now a big fat hospital bill at St. Francis in Topeka! They stuck me 8 times trying to run IV's and all my veins collapsed from my blood flow being cut off. I was out for 15 minutes with my BP 56/41 and a barely there heart rate. Yep that gas and cigarettes cost me big time. Want to here the real kicker. You remember my "guy friend" I was telling you about? My male nurse turned out to be my "guy friend's" cousin! Small world ain't it?

If you by Top Ramen in bulk it is about 9 or 10 cents a package. It is OK for awhile, but it has a lot of sodium. I tried the real thing when I was stationed with the Marines in Hawaii. I can't recall the name, but there is no comparison between the ramen sold in the stores and the bowl of noodles meal sold in mom an pop Japanese hole in the wall restaurants. It was the real deal. It is best if you doctor it up with pork or shrimp and add a few vegetables like carrots and celery. How have you been? Gyorzxk and Bilbo Baggins say hello. Did you ever get some of that Howard Hughes money? Have you met any more Scottish babes?

you know, You can be creative with ramen noodles if ya like. Chop up some leftover chicken and put it in there with a can of veggies and it's a little more variety than just plain noodles.
Also, what I like to do from time to time is to put some olive oil in the pan, sautee the noodles just a little but they're still crispy. Set them aside. take a bag of cole slaw mix you can buy at the store, mix the noodles and cole slaw together. Shred up a chicken breast, dice up some green onion, mix the flavor packet with some olive oil and red wine vinegar, and mix it all up. It's actually really good.
You sound like you're a bachelor. You need a woman in your life to help you get a little creative in the kitchen so you're not always eating ramen. :) I'm sure she'll provide you with a lot of 'dessert' too.

No, sorry. Or maybe I don't remember.
It sounds like I need to send you a vegetarian cook book with wholesome meals.....
But what I have done (the related one) is where you get the look: buying your cigarettes in small change. What a look you get. Luckily I don't need to do that today.
What I don't get is: I used to be able to live like a king on £500/$1000 a month. Rent, food, transport, insurance, fun. Now I do need at least £2000/$4000 a month just to break even clear tax (50%) rent, food, transport, no insurance and not a lot of fun. Ok, there is 20 years between, but I mean, what a slog for the taxman.

Yes, and I eat all the canned goods I would normally give to a food drive.
Since I can't eat wheat anymore, my cheap meal is oatmeal or beans and rice by the bag.
Forget about that clerk, she/he has no idea if they've never had to go through the "ramen noodle" times.

I used to like them until I lived in an Apartment complex and the people next door had a party and someone threw up some ramen noodles with hot dogs. It laid outside for a week until I got someone to clean it up. Never wanted to eat them again. True story.

When I was going to school in Oklahoma, my daughter and I had to live off ramen noodles. I knew it was a bad week when I couldn't afford to mix in a can of vegetables. Ahhhhhhh, the stories I could tell about my poverty days.

No,I eat ramen noodles because I like them, twice this week I have had them with cheese and chili sauce, the best way. I have been broke however, and have existed for weeks at a time on rice, lentils and canned tuna......... boring as anything, but I actually felt a lot healthier than usual on my 'poverty diet'.

I got really burnt out on those so I usually get the 2 for a dollar banquet chicken pot pies. Pretty darn good if you ask me. Not the shrimp and lobster tail but anything to make a turd right? LOL
