You're damn right I'll upvote the cheapest source of "meat" I could afford when I was at rock-bottom.

Literally 1 tin of these, tinned vegetables, tinned beans, tomato puree, a bunch of different spices, and served with either pasta or with rice in a pitta bread.

Maybe some stolen sauces from McDonald's for dipping.

And for dessert, a hand rolled cigarette with used filters and second hand tobacco because this is the only hot meal for the day and life fucking sucked.

upped for stolen sauces. rice and stolen taco bell packets kept me from starving back when 17 and kicked out of the house for the 2nd time.

Dude I’ve never met someone else who rolled up second hand cigs. My situation when I was doing it was similar to yours, except my friend and I had become rather efficient at stuffing food down our pants at the local Kroger, so we usually had one good meal a day, and then a half cup of rice each for the rest of the day.

I’m glad to hear you’re doing better, that was a rough life and not one I would wish on anyone, even my enemies.

Sliced, sauted over rice with ketchup.
