as above really. i am used to having to survive on a small amount,but really don't fancy beans on toast for the next 4 days or so.i do have some food already that i reckon will last for the next 3-4 days.just interested in what you can buy cheap,but not dull to eat.thanks 🙂
Good time of year to be doing a bit scrumping etc.
Spend a bit less on video games 🙂
Buy a Kazoo, a pen and piece of paper. Sit outside a train station looking sad and Kazooing "Always look on the bright side of life" In 10 mins you'll have a fiver, 20mins a tenner.
I recommend a curry with a couple of Cobra's
Find a Tesco that opens until late, go in about an hour before it shuts, buy reduced stock.
deadlydarcy 😳
Develop a smack habit. Fueled by theft and burglary like everyone else s. You won't feel the need to eat then

😆 What about a swanee whistle?
Restaurants, then do a runner.
Four hundred and four penny chews. That gives you 100 a day for 4 days, plus 4 left over to offer to guests when they pop round.

dhal and rice. v cheap. nutritious. tasty.
Boiled rice - serve with TommyK (or sauce of your choice)
Other student memories come flooding back
Smash with tinned sardines
White cabbage sandwiches
Sardines are good actually - loads of protein and cheap. I'll still sometimes get lunch for <£1 from Sainsbury's - small bagguette and tin of smelly fish
If you honestly had only that much for so long I reckon you are going to do little better than a bag of rice and something to use as flavouring. Limited on protein I'd have thought, maybe a bag of frozen veggie mince, chilli powder and chinese 5 spice powder to alternate meal taste. I bet it would be hard too do though. I shall investigate.

Something like this.
Also a good time to get out in the countryside and find some blackberry bushes etc. Remember to only pick the ones that are above dog height though.
Got a farm shop nearby? One near us has BIG bags of spuds for a quid, tins of beans for 10p, big bags of bacon misshapes for a quid and loads more, four and a bit quid could go a long way
And metaphorically' Stay away from the Bolivian spinach chocolate........
A big bag of lentils, stock cubes and a couple of onions...
Crikey - since when has next Thursday been 4 days away? 62 penny chews a day with 6 left over for guests surely?
Bean chilli is amazing and so cheap
Spagbog meat free
Chicken wings!
A big bag of rice is a good place to start, that will bulk up most things.
Next you need something to add some taste so cheap sardines are a good idea as are chillis.
Finally you need to make some kind of sauce. Over ripe tomato's from the cheap aisle are a good, as is passatta (49p for 500ml in Aldi).
Then use whatever you have left to buy other flavours, again most likely picking off the reduced veg and meat.
Can you tell i've done this before?!?!
If you get yourself some amoebic disentry you'll be able to survive on sugared & salted water.

You might even get a free house if you cry in court when your eventually caught 😉

Yes, you're right, tired from riding, brain not engaged.
Five loaves of bread and a couple of fishes, perhaps?
4.40 you say.
Get some cheap mince couple of cans of tomatoes and one of beans make a base, have spag bol twice and chilli twice.

Have you seen the price of cod lately?
big bag of pasta, make your own sauce (onion, 2 cans of tomatoes, chillis optional)
buy some tins of tuna
and alternate.
boring but will see you through.
Tesco (other supermarkets exist) Value noodles.
About 8-10p a packet, carbs, protein and fat, available in plenty of flavours too.
Downside they take about 3 minutes to cook, so you eat a lot of them and get fat.
big bag of rice.
big can of sweetcorn.
some tins of sardines in tomato sauce.
a bag of porridge for breaky.

And fast for the other 2 days...
Salad cream sandwiches or rice and brown sauce, always a student favourite!!
Have you seen the price of cod lately?
That would be an ecumenical matter, surely?
Right you are there, father.
10p bargains at your local Asda etc. 30mins before they close
Failing that, I may have a tip for the GGs for tomorrow
Food bank?
No, not looking at food in the supermarket then going home think about it later, alone, in the dark,...........
1 tin tomatoes 33p
1 tin tuna in brine - 75P?
1 large onion - 10P
Chop and fry up in a little oil
150 grams spaghetti (wholemeal is nice) - boil for 5 mins
Scoff - Sh*t
Repeat for 4 days
Or go to McDonnalds 5mins before closing and beg

why is everyone only suggesting the OP eats every other day for the next week?
I'd buy loads of fresh veg from the greengrocer. Make several pans of soup, each soup having a potato base and different veggies to make different flavours. Freeze and that should keep you filled up for a few days.
why is everyone only suggesting the OP eats every other day for the next week?
Because he said Thursday was four days away.
A big bag of oats would sort you out a week's filling slow-release carb breakfasts.
Does he mean next Tuesday or Thursday? Not clear in the OP really.
If it was me it'd be beans on toast, value noodles and porridge.
4 cans of tesco value lager if I had owt left 🙂
Surely there are two possible ways to solve the problem. The first is being addressed by not overspending. What about the second solution of raising your income? Have you got anything to sell?
Good idea don
how about the OP puts suitably valued stuff on the classifieds and gets paid in a pizza order or whatever?
😛
What's your bike like? I might be willing to trade you a potato for it.
i can send you a tin of beans, £4.40 next day delivery.
If you come to Leeds and sort my headset out I'll cook you a chilli.
Otherwise, go to the most ethically diverse part of your local town, buy potatoes, rice, stock cubes, tins of kidney beans and fresh veg. Ethnic minorities (round here at least) tend to cook more, so basic ingredients are cheaper.
Also, buy bruised fruit from the market, brown bananas etc, through them into a blender for decent, often free smoothies.
