I sometimes like to remind myself that I’m a privileged fuck with nothing really to worry about, so I do a £10 per week food challenge.
it’s not actually much of a challenge, to be honest. it’s fucking easy.
this is assuming you have the basics in the house - spices, herbs, sauces, pickles etc
did a veg curry the other week. net cost - £2.24. lasted for 3 solid meals. EASY. fucking decent cuzza too
fucking EASY
Piece of piss, I eat at work. I’ll splurge the tenner on a takeaway one night.
you’ve not thought this through, bud. quite happy to have beans on toast a couple days. that’s about 40p, all in
Can be done. Pasta/rice + veg (cheap stuff like onions) + cans of chopped tomatoes etc. If you play it right with the reduced section of your supermarket that could make things less boring.
Think I spent most of a month when I was 19 eating plain pasta with ketchup… it was a bad time. Still, cost less than a tenner a week!
yep, pretty easy. Especially if you don’t eat meat (how can you meat-eating twats afford to eat meat???)
Probably. Wouldn’t want to though
@PocketMouse to thread
No I do not.
I could live but I couldn’t eat ‘well’.
5x 30p Bars of Chocolaate
5x 30p Tins Of Beans
2x Loafs of £1.00 bread (none of that cheap shite)
1x Box of cheap cornflakes
1x bottle of milk
Still got change to spare to treat myself to something GOODD!
Also find the idea of living on the budget of someone in poverty for a bit as a fun challenge a bit problematic.
Doesn’t this defeat the point? If someone’s only got £10 a week to spend on food they’re unlikely to have a fully stocked larder with ketchup, brown sauce, mayo, mustard, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, branston, gherkins and so on. Buying a pot of spices is the best part of a tenth of your weekly food budget.
Maybe I’ve missed something.
This was always the complaint people brought up with Jack Monroe’s recipes.
Na just skip breakfast (or get a bag of cheap Muesli).
Besides onions are great. Who has a problem with onions?
and here it is. fuck off mate
Yeah, also the week your filippo berio needs replacing you’ve got £6 to feed yourself
Just have rice with some frozen peas and sweetcorn every day.
Use the remaining 6 or 7 quid to treat yourself to a KFC at the end of the week as a reward.
Yeah for sure
oh poor you. wafer thin ham to go with your wafer thin skin
This thread is a fucking travesty and borderline insulting to people trying to live on the breadline (although safe Bird, I know that wasn’t your intent).
Won’t you fly high safe bird
