well we are on a tight budget here price of food going up yet my paycheck is going down lol. ramen noodles are ok but i get really sick of them. then there are the new kind they have the chow mein ones those are really good. at walmart they are 87 cents a thing and well one will fill you up. then there is generic chef boyardee lol. tuna is always a good one too. we do rice and ranch beans. or tortillas with mashed ranch beans and cheese. rice with butter and sugar is really good. then there is always biscuits and gravy. there are alot of cheap things you can do. sometimes though it is just as cheap to hit the 1.00 menu at the drive through too. 5.00 foot long subs at subway are great as well 2 meals there lol.

Howdy Elliottsthebomb, Welcome to mylot so glad to have you on board. When I was going to nursing school, I already was married and had two small children, finances was so tight that I eat alot of ramen noodles and PBJ's for lunch. Had to leave real food for dinner and the kids. To this day I can not hardly stomach either one. If you need any help at all, you can PM me here in mylot or ChaCha! My email address is angelwhispers@frontiernet.net send me an email so I can add you to my address book!

Dear friend, One could have a small fruit garden near the home of upon the terrace. The vegetable and fruits are getting costlier days by day but these are the best for better health. Hence I feel have a small vegetable garden would be better. May be eating in the cafeteria depends upon the quality of food they serve and it would best if we have it in our way at home.
