At my local Wal-Mart Supercenter, I can get a box of 12 packages of Chicken or Beef ramen noodles for $1.44 I believe it is. And packages of 6 Shrimp or Oriental flavor are $0.88 cents each. I'm not sure why they don't come in the 12-packs yet. And the Pork flavors are only available individually as of yet and they are either $0.16 or $0.18 cents each, I don't remember which. Anyway, let's just say I got a total of 12 of each flavor individually and not in any of the superpacks. Now 12 packs of 5 flavors for a total of 60 packs at $0.18 cents each is $10.80 (before tax). And I usually eat 2 per meal since one just doesn't seem to fill me up. And at 3 meals a day, a total of 6 packages or a total of $1.08. Now if I buy the superpacks which ends up being a bit cheaper, I can eat for usually under a dollar a day. I put way too much thought into this. =\

my trick I will make foods that can be turned into other meals like pasta sauce can be used for spaghetti on nite then pizza the next. Or I will use a little bit as a base in chilli and then throw in a bunch of different kinds of beans. (Thats if you use a meat sauce with ground beef)
Rice can be made with lots of differnt things.
Hot dogs. (Make chili dogs and then beans and franks another nite)
I try to make stuff stretch as much as possible.
I will buy those bags of chix breast and make 4 meals out of them like. Chix alfredo, chix soup, Chix caserole (chix, cream chix soup, egg noodles and broccoli)
Thats my secret. Try to make as many meals as you can out of the meat.

I like to use left over rice--chunk and fry some spam--add frozen mixed vegetables and rice and soy sauce--fry it--cheap and quick fried rice.
Also--fix a pack of ramen noodles--add a can of crushed tomatoes and some mixed vegetables (or left over veggies)--quick vegetable noodle soup. You can throw in leftover chicken or meat, too.
Also--make some toast--spread with peanut butter and eat with canned fruit. Yummy breakfast.

LOL. You;re gonna love this one. Beans and cornbread. We adore this at my house and it costs less than $3 to make enough for 2-3 meals. A little of the south in me I guess. LOL.

Macaroni salad, made with shell macaroni, tuna, celery, onion, boiled eggs, and mayonnaise. Very filling, very cheap.

beans and rice. prefer pintos, but others ok, too. Also pintos and cornbread. And there's always the PB&J. These combinations also provide decent protein.
