Increasingly local towns and even states are passing laws on water usage, basically outlawing “agriculture” in residential areas. Eventually growing your own food won’t be an option.
A general discussion on cheaply eating in America - everybody is eating, eating USA

Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Corn and beans. There's some protein, some fiber. You'll feel full for hours and have sustained energy.

You'd be amazed what you can grow in pots.

One rotisserie chicken, frozen veggies, veggies like butternut squash, spaghetti squash, onions, potatoes. These are all good options. I say that because you can make cheap and very easy soup out of the butternut squash using the onions and basic spices. You have to expand your ingredients. Even with meat. Get less popular cuts, there's always a good way to cook them. I love a whole chicken, raw, you can cut it up easily and make SO much with it. The rotisserie chicken is for if you don't have time or space for cutting up and cooking a whole chicken. It's a great asset. Eggs, rice, pasta, beans. These along with seasoning, tomatoes, bullion cubes. These are all life savers.
My ghetto meal, which I called poverty meal was Kraft mac' n cheese with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and ground beef. It lasts for days and it's tasty enough given what you season it with.
Ramen is excellent if you add an egg and some American cheese. Sodium be damned, it works.
Regardless of your circumstances, look at deals from your local supermarkets. Go to farmer's markets if you can. Always look for a deal and take advantage of it. Rice and potatoes are the ultimate round out side, but you want to make sure you are getting enough protein and other vitamins. I love frozen veggies for this and you can certainly use canned fish in this situation for the protein. Don't shy away from tinned fish. I would advise fish canned in oil, but that's a personal opinion.
Also, don't waste anything. Every vegetable you cut, every piece of meat you cleaned of fat or skin, all of that can be used to make broth which can be used for soups and addition to so many dishes. Save that "garbage" in a freezer bag and pull it out to make your broth. When you're in lean times, never waste. I just posted about this earlier. I had some bone in, skin on chicken thighs and I took the skin and fat off and boiled the pieces with carrot, onion, celery, and garlic which made a fabulous broth. I used some of that broth for my meal that evening and rendered the skin and fat to make the dumplings that went into it. I still have more broth in the freezer for whenever I need it. Always thing ahead. What can be used for what in the future.

eating healthy for cheap is very possible. the rule of 3's is as follow: grain, veggies, protein (bean mixture for complete protein or meat if you can afford). red beans and rice is the reason i am alive today. $20 can give you 2000 kcal a day for 5 days ez.
recipe:
1 cup rice
1 can cream of mushroom soup (with garlic)
2 canfulls of water
1 bag frozen veggies
1 lb cheapest ground meat or 1 cup beans that youve soaked (add another can of water if beans)
thyme
cayenne pepper
black pepper
salt
onion
hot sauce
simmer until rice is cooked and desired thickness

I have lived in poverty. I'm hardened up so what I consider hungry and what I consider good might be different than some. One pot, one pan, one knife, oven didn't work. Thank the gods that I still had two out of four pilots. Weekly budget might be $12 or less sometimes. I had a small dog. He was never hungry because I made sure he had food.
Anyway, big ass box of store brand pancake mix. It goes a long way.
Frozen vegetables. The store brand ones are cheapest. As many as you can buy.
Rice. Whatever rice was on sale. The price mattered more than the size sometimes for me.
As much ground chicken or beef as I could get. Mostly went to the dog. I had my rice and vegetables cooked in meat juice if I couldn't spare the meat.
Eggs. Me and the dog split one. He didn't need a whole egg really. He got most of it anyway.
Sometimes : Potatoes, soy sauce, bouillon, chili paste, onion, garlic, ramen (put in a pan and cooked with vegetables and if I was lucky, meat. not used as soup), cheese of some sort used sparingly. tomatoes because I like to top food with them for some reason.
Cheapest butter or substitute. Moove Over Butter was usually around a dollar. Used sparingly.
Condiments could be gotten free from convenience stores. Sugar, salt, pepper, half and half cups, jelly, honey ect...
My sister's idiot boyfriend got all this peanut butter and tuna from his dad. Me and the dog would eat it. No one wanted it. I got the Walmart brand crackers for like $79 cents.
Coffee or tea
Not all this stuff was the same week. Otherwise it would cost too much. The pancake mix and some of the other stuff just got used slower. I am a master at rationing. So I would at least have something around.
When I see these lists about eating cheaply I never see pancake mix and it astounds me. Yes it's unhealthy to a degree. But it goes a long way. Believe me, in certain situations you'd rather be as full as possible.

Why is food so expensive in the US?
Have been watching alot of that cripple who eats dollar store crap for us the people and holy shit his cheap cooking stuff is expensive as hell.
a Box of Pasta for over 1$? flour for over 1$? super expensive potatoes, etc.
Also americans cant cook for shit.

Some chopped potato and half an onion into a skillet is a pretty good meal. If you're feeling wealthy, plop in a cheap protein and you've got a basic Potato Hash.
I will have to try that boss man
i got a tub in my freezer
You know that's a good observation. My family hasn't been starving-level poverty since the Great Depression, but you can bet your ass the last two generations have had a box of Bisquik in the pantry at all times. Even the brand name stuff is still fairly cheap and filling, plus it can be used as a base to make things like batters too.
This bad boy
I get a kick out of being told this by some German spergenberger who probably loves sugared creamy fermented herrings and shit.
A childhood favourite, and now today my cheap favourite meal:
Spaghetti and Soup. 3 ingredients. Spaghetti, butter or margarine, tomato soup. It tastes SO much better then it sounds.
You need: 1 454 gram/1lb package of decent dry pasta, ideally spaghetti.
2 cans Campbell's tomato soup
2 large heaped tablespoons of salted butter (better taste) or olive oil based margarine (healthier)
To cook:
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil (optional, add a drop of olive oil for easier pasta separation)
Add pasta, cook to preferred tenderness.
Drain and return pasta to pot.
Stir in butter or margarine.
Open 2 cans Campbell's tomato soup. Other brands will have varying levels of taste, usually for the worse.
Dump in both cans, stir until well mixed with butter and pasta.
Plate and serve. (optional but highly recommended: top with lots of Kraft ground parm. Ups the cost but tastes great.)
Cost for a 'double batch' which will feed a 4 person family for dinner or 1 person for 2 days of lunch/dinner, about $4-5cdn. If you go with no-name soup and pasta, even cheaper. Prep time: approx. 15-18mins. The leftovers taste just as good cold from the fridge as they do hot.
This being a pure starch and fat meal, you cannot live on it but an excellent option is to fry and spice 1/2lb of lean ground beef or pork and stir into the spaghetti and soup. Delicious and protien-loaded but obviously doubles the cost.
You're welcome!

263 grams of sugar
Holy shit, that is like a week's worth of sugar in one cup. I felt my arteries clench at that.

1 can of salmon/tuna, 1-2 cups of rice, some sauce, and a pan to toss up fried salmon/tuna rice. Add a cup of birdseye frozen veggies and a fried egg.
Use whatever condiments you like,
Use whatever condiments you like,
Yep, I do that one too. About the only condiment it needs (imo) is some dark soya sauce during the last minutes of cooking.
*edit* nm, you said sauce already. good cheap easy dish, fam!

I'm a fan of the oriental way of soy sauce+ a shot of calamansi and a little pepper.
Nigga what is your blood pressure, if I had that much salt I would be hospitalized
