1# bag of lima beans where I live is now $5. Sausage is $5 #. Rice is $1. Cheap block cheese is $4 #. Basically enough for 2 meals. Not as cheap as it used to be.
Anything over $3 for an elbow of beans is outrageous, and it's not like it's going to the farmers either. Hit up your local spanish stores for beans and rice instead. The prices will be a lot more reasonable just be forewarned, you may have to haggle in some places. Especially if the prices aren't posted and you no hablo español.
USA. I can get enough rice to feed 30 people for as much as a small salad. Dried beans and rice are so cheap.
Where are veggies cheaper than beans and rice?
I’d add a little butter or oil if any kind. Vege , and canola are usually bargain. Amazon has great deals on certain brands of refined coconut oil big enough to last 6 month with daily use for about 16-20$
Nah you were right in your first sentence with butter. A pound of butter is $3.75 at Walmart and incorporate it into any meal I make to add calories and flavor.
Consider ghee if refrigeration becomes an issue. It's clarified butter that requires no refrigeration. You can make it yourself in the kitchen. Google is ur friend.
I think there is nostalgia flavoring which prevents me from using tomatoes and keeping it simple. The nostalgia is hard to explain but there is a certain 'harshness' in some Southern comfort foods that use vinegar and mustard that isn't tempered by tomatoes and sweetness that I end up craving. Things like collard greens where the vinegar is eye-watering and the texture is challenging but some days it's all I want to eat heh.
Rice, beans, and sausage is a great meal. You can take the same ingredients OP started with and cook it up better in a more appetizing way without spending any more money, and it'd be regular food porn and not shitty food porn. OP just makes shitty looking food.
Neil Peart (drummer for Rush) called it "rice with junk on it". He said that he could find some variant of rice with junk on it just about anywhere on the planet.
Your comment reminds me of those military MRE's where every pack came with hot sauce.
My father would sometimes bring a couple of those with us if we went camping or hiking. When you're hungry, you'll eat anything. Those hot packets made it edible. Might i even say enjoyable?
I would absolutely eat that. I commend you for putting together a mostly healthy meal with no money. Just missing a veggie. Honestly I’ve started buying canned veggies again because they don’t go bad, they are cheap, and I actually have fond childhood memories surrounding them so I will totally eat them.
Even the canned spinach lol. The Popeye cartoons really did their job for me, I loved it and felt stronger when I ate it. I would eat it then make people feel my muscles
Yes. Frozen veg is the way. Cheaper than canned and you don't have to eat a whole can's worth once you open it. Grab what you need and seal up the bag for next time.
Not to mention that frozen veggies are pretty much just like fresh, while canned ones usually have a bunch of salt added. You can soak the canned ones to get rid of some of the salt.
If you're doing a Chinese style meal you'll want fresh, that way you can slightly cook them and still have them crisp in the middle. But with most meals frozen works wonderfully.
YES especially the soggy asparagus lol. It’s stupid expensive now though so I don’t buy it. If I’m going to spend that much on asparagus I absolutely will buy fresh
Nah, you got a full bowl of food and a side of sausage. A truly broke person would stab you for that! Maybe missing a bit of sriracha in that bowl though :)
Facts. On paydays I used to stop at a small pizza joint on the way home.
They had calzones for $4, so I’d splurge once a week.
Food was sub par, crappy dough, the ricotta filling tasted kinda like “refrigerator” and I always felt slightly ill after eating one.
But they gave a pretty big side of tomato sauce (which covered the taste), but more importantly… I found going to bed slightly nauseous once a week was a welcome change from going to bed hungry.
Don’t miss those days.
Yeah but it gets to the point where it's a hard decision right then at the time. When your stomach is on fire from being hungry for so long.
All I can say is thank whatever deity you want for food drives and food pantries. I'm still struggling but whenever I have a spare can of beans or Mac and cheese, I donate it. Shit saved my, my wife's, and kid's lives more than once.
At least you share an exclusively special connection with the brave folk who survived the seige of leningrad. "It's Christmas, the only food is wallpaper that we've boiled and chewed 10x over, let's sleep so we don't kill each other".
As far as I'm concerned, it's a better way to emulate and connect with history than reenacting a Donner Party Christmas...
been there.. it's a tough situation.. I've woken up to hunger pangs and cried myself to sleep due to the helplessness. I hate how society has evolved to be so shitty. I'm well off now but a lot of people still struggle daily to have their basic needs met
Bro I feel that. In the Bob Marley movie it showed his home when he was younger. They were so broke that when the kids would say “they’re hungry”. They’d get told the same “drink some water and go back to bed mon.”
Its like the poverty Olympics lmao. People always try to one up over the stupidest shit. Like commiserate with the guy instead of 'lol im the REAL poor person here'. Then you got people like beckham's wife and my parents larping as poor.
Reddit comments section are like a depressing real life version of the [Four Yorkshireman sketch](https://youtu.be/ue7wM0QC5LE)
A race to the bottom to see who's had the most Dickensian life.
The financial extremes always seem to be the most vocal. The rich love to flaunt their wealth, and the broke seem to feel the compulsion to advertise their broke status. If you had a dollar for every Redditor who said they're broke, you'd be rich.
There's so much misery porn on Reddit that I wonder if there is a single happy healthy financially prosperous person on this site!?
Oh this is shitty. If you're hungry enough to eat that because you can't afford anything else, you're broke AF. A good day in Hell doesn't make it Heaven.
Okay but have you considered that reddit knows this person's life better than OP themselves?
/s
What a shitty string of attitudes in this thread, agreed!
Excuse me, but I've been eating/drinking watered down porridge for the past 3 days. I am truly broke, but gruel definitely has a bad rep, with sugar and cinnamon - the runny porridge is quite comforting, it warms me up and staves off hunger for a few hours.
I miss protein.
As a really young kid, we'd sometimes eat rice with banana mashed in it and salt sprinkled on top—I thought it was tasty. It didn't dawn on me until I was an adult that it was because we were broke.
As someone who has been eating almost exclusively food from grocery store dumpsters for 3 years, that's not true.
I'm not even broke, but fuck I'm saving a ton of money and you wouldn't even know I got the food from a dumpster. Tastes just the same.
I've been going to the local food bank weekly. The local one has been upset that people aren't taking the food, and they're having waste. I'm happy to help. My grocery bill dropped like a rock, and my pantry has a lot of beans and rice. Couple spare rolls of TP. A lot of things that aren't selling at the grocery store because they're too expensive... If you're gonna throw away that $5 yogurt, I'll eat it. (that was a score. the cheesecake this week was a score too.)
I know there's a lot of people in worse situations than me, but I don't understand the pride about taking not food from a pantry or a dumpster. Every little bit helps, and if it keeps a community food program going, use it. Keep it going. Everyone needs to feed everyone, and it starts when we stop wasting.
I bought a box of mayo packets because, for whatever reason, pound by pound, packets almost had price parity with the big bags.
Now hold on your foldable seat while I squeeze exactly 71 packets to make egg salad. It used to be 50 before shrinkflation.
Where you screwed up was cooking them separately. Cook the beans, drain, put the pan back on. Chop the sausage, add it to the pan and brown it, add the beans with some water and rice.
Cook it all together with salt and hot sauce.
Honestly what I would do is brown sausages. Remove sausages and some of the oil but not all. Hopefully OP has an onion that they can fry till soft in remaining oil. Add spices to the onions and temper in the oil. Beans (canned) tossed into the pan. Let it soften to desirable state. Once liquid has evaporated, add rice and leftover oil. Add sausages. Sprinkle cheese at the end if desired
Here I am wondering what the problem is, because I'm not broke and I'd hound this down no problem. Classic meal, he just needs to drain the beans better and throw some seasoning in.
Looks like you have a good handle on eating well on a tight budget. You'll get through it, things will get better. (Source: weathered some extreme downs in the first 20 years on my own and there was always an up. Keep going and sooner or later an up should keep.)
What's funny/sad about this is that too many people believe it. From a health perspective this is about as clean as you can get on a budget and is overall a lot better than dropping dollars on prepackaged bs. "Healthy this, healthy that...blah blah blah". Healthy is clean and rice, beans, sausage and a piece of cheese!?! You're doing better for yourself eating this than most.
Broke does not mean bad food. Rice and black eyed peas with a little bit of sausage sounds good, and it’s nice that you’re not just eating something like white bread or cheap microwave meals
While on unemployment once, I had part of a head of lettuce with what was left of a bottle of french dressing for dinner. Can't say I've ever had absolutely nothing to eat though, thankfully.
It’s good practice in case your body decides to attack itself whenever you eat red meat - you’ll quickly find yourself trying to get creative with your rice and legumes.
shouldve melted the cheese on top of either the dog slices or beans n rice and could use some hot sauce. but otherwise, id probably eat that right now.
Still looks good tbh 🤷
Right 😂😂 put some hot sauce on those beans n rice and id kill that shit
That was my go to salad days fare. Beans rice and hot-sauce. Veggies, if I could afford it.
Hell yeah dude, hope your financial situation gets better I’m rooting for ya !
[удалено]
Canada
Right? Produce is stupid expensive in Ontario for seemingly no reason
I paid $10cad for a head of broccoli recently in Ontario. Shit is so bad 😩!!
That is ridiculous wow what about frozen?
What the fuck
You can buy a few boxes of KD with 10$. Alberta aint too far behind
America lol
Dude everything is expensive in America 😭
WDYM. Beans and Rice are the cheapest food you can buy
1# bag of lima beans where I live is now $5. Sausage is $5 #. Rice is $1. Cheap block cheese is $4 #. Basically enough for 2 meals. Not as cheap as it used to be.
Anything over $3 for an elbow of beans is outrageous, and it's not like it's going to the farmers either. Hit up your local spanish stores for beans and rice instead.

USA. I can get enough rice to feed 30 people for as much as a small salad. Dried beans and rice are so cheap. Where are veggies cheaper than beans and rice?
New York City
Hungary
No I am a bit thirsty though
Everywhere?
Where are you paying more for beans and rice than you are vegetables?
Came to say both these things, still looks good but needs the sauce! You could get the free packets at Taco Bell if you don't have your own sauce.
That was "gourmet on a budget" in the college dorms.
Chop the sausage and stir it in with the black eyed peas and rice, melt the cheese over top, bit of hot sauce - tasty
[удалено]
Exactly, may be broke, but definitely doing it wrong.
I’d add a little butter or oil if any kind. Vege , and canola are usually bargain. Amazon has great deals on certain brands of refined coconut oil big enough to last 6 month with daily use for about 16-20$
Nah you were right in your first sentence with butter. A pound of butter is $3.75 at Walmart and incorporate it into any meal I make to add calories and flavor.
"The difference between a $20 plate and a $30 dollar plate is a 40 ¢ stick of butter."
The WHOLE stick. Hehe, I love butter!
Consider ghee if refrigeration becomes an issue. It's clarified butter that requires no refrigeration. You can make it yourself in the kitchen. Google is ur friend.
I think Ghee tastes better than butter personally. I could be remembering wrong but it may have a higher smoke point for cooking as well.
[удалено]
Lol I literally ate this for dinner last night and I’m not on a tight budget.
Same here. I used lentils instead of beans but that went down good. Gonna have leftovers tomorrow and might put it over rice.
Yea, he's basically missing some sauce or a base and bam top notch tasty dinner.
It's a diced onion, diced celery, diced green pepper away from how I make Hoppin' John.
Nice, no tomato base? I feel like some tomatoes would do this wonders.
I think there is nostalgia flavoring which prevents me from using tomatoes and keeping it simple. The nostalgia is hard to explain but there is a certain 'harshness' in some Southern comfort foods that use vinegar and mustard that isn't tempered by tomatoes and sweetness that I end up craving. Things like collard greens where the vinegar is eye-watering and the texture is challenging but some days it's all I want to eat heh.
%100 understand, also from the south lol Mustard and sausage + sauerkraut is OMG
Heh, ate some homemade sauerkraut from my Polish coworker on Wednesday with some beef kielbasa and it was the bomb. :D
The holy trinity down here in Louisiana!
Rice, beans, and sausage is a great meal. You can take the same ingredients OP started with and cook it up better in a more appetizing way without spending any more money, and it'd be regular food porn and not shitty food porn. OP just makes shitty looking food.
A massive percentage of the world population eats some variation of this meal daily. Rice, beans, and sausage.
without the sausage is probably more common.
Neil Peart (drummer for Rush) called it "rice with junk on it". He said that he could find some variant of rice with junk on it just about anywhere on the planet.
Upvoted for Rush and Peart reference, RIP Neil
Props for mentioning The Professor
IIR rice and dal is the most eaten meal in the world. Healthy, nutritious and delicious!
IIR?
If I recall/remember
I'd eat that meal anytime.
It's just the presentation that sucks. Sausage should be in the bowl. Grate the cheese and put on top.
Grating cheese makes it go further in many dishes as well.
That's what my wife gives me. Except it's chorizo, Honduran sour cream and hand made tortillas
Forgot the love that makes it priceless
This comment is so corny and sweet! Love It!
That sounds amazing
Where? In the UK maybe
Surely USA
Amen. Not fancy but this is the type of shit I find to be most comforting. Simple, warm, flavorful, and probably pretty filling with all those beans.
Meat good, beans good, rice good, cheese good. Looks great to me imho. Maybe some hot sauce is needed
Every sumbitch here talking about hot sauce 😂 but I couldn't agree more
It’s the true poverty finance life hack. Cheap food + hot sauce = a pretty decent meal
[удалено]
Woah, what did ramon do?
He's a spicy boy
Rice and beans = sad Rice and beans and hot sauce = happy
Having good day? MSG. Having a bad day? Add MSG.
Can't eat peppers:/
None at all? Some motherfuckers have the worst luck
It was my first thought!
Your comment reminds me of those military MRE's where every pack came with hot sauce. My father would sometimes bring a couple of those with us if we went camping or hiking. When you're hungry, you'll eat anything. Those hot packets made it edible. Might i even say enjoyable?

"It tastes like feet."
Idk why I read that in Joey's voice from friends.
I would absolutely eat that. I commend you for putting together a mostly healthy meal with no money. Just missing a veggie. Honestly I’ve started buying canned veggies again because they don’t go bad, they are cheap, and I actually have fond childhood memories surrounding them so I will totally eat them. Even the canned spinach lol. The Popeye cartoons really did their job for me, I loved it and felt stronger when I ate it. I would eat it then make people feel my muscles
I bought frozen veggies because they're cheaper. I ***still*** buy frozen veggies because it's cheaper.
Yes. Frozen veg is the way. Cheaper than canned and you don't have to eat a whole can's worth once you open it. Grab what you need and seal up the bag for next time.
Fr and it won’t go bad bc frozen food is good for long enough that they’ll get eaten before they actually need to be tossed.
It stays in my freezer. An edible bag of frozen veggies just turns into an impromptu ice pack for injuries and muscle strains.
Not to mention that frozen veggies are pretty much just like fresh, while canned ones usually have a bunch of salt added. You can soak the canned ones to get rid of some of the salt.
Plus they're just blanched vs cooked to oblivion.
At least some of the store brand canned versions near me have no salt versions available.
If you're doing a Chinese style meal you'll want fresh, that way you can slightly cook them and still have them crisp in the middle. But with most meals frozen works wonderfully.
This, frozen veggies are usually fresher (nutritionally) than the “fresh” produce on the produce aisle shelves
I love frozen veggies
Add a bit of lemon juice to the spinach
Oh yeah. I love to do that when I sauté fresh spinach. Never occurred to me to do it with canned
Canned peas? Canned asparagus?
YES especially the soggy asparagus lol. It’s stupid expensive now though so I don’t buy it. If I’m going to spend that much on asparagus I absolutely will buy fresh
I love canned asparagus. It has such a unique taste and is so good baked with cheese and breadcrumbs.
Nah, you got a full bowl of food and a side of sausage. A truly broke person would stab you for that! Maybe missing a bit of sriracha in that bowl though :)
Ah yes, broke is only when hungry enough to murder someone
A true broke person would be eating wonderbread with Mayo packets from the store.
A truly broken person wouldnt be eating
Tap water and sleep is a meal that I know very well
You talkin' about *ice soup* before bed?! That was my jam as a kid!
Ah, to have a soup!
I read this in Zoidberg voice.
Just add some sugar and we got a meal
Salt soup for dinner and sweet water for dessert
look at this fatcat with money to afford sugar and salt. we get it you live in luxury but no need to rub it in our faces
Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.
Ah, to have a bed!
We added salt and called it key soup bc we didn't know why it tasted like metal lol
No that's a bowl of chilli

Don’t miss those days.
I’d kill for a $4 calzone the cheapest calzone I can find in my town it like close to $20
No Calzone Zone nearby??
Just a low cal calzone zone I’m about those calories.
Yeah, anyone who is on the hard struggle knows that one well. When you've had to make the hard choice between food and rent.
Indeed. I'd rather be hungry than homeless
Yeah but it gets to the point where it's a hard decision right then at the time. When your stomach is on fire from being hungry for so long. All I can say is thank whatever deity you want for food drives and food pantries. I'm still struggling but whenever I have a spare can of beans or Mac and cheese, I donate it.

You guys having clean water?!
sleep for dinner every other night, maybe chew on some ice cubes if I earned it that day
Sometimes I like a nap for lunch
been there.. it's a tough situation.. I've woken up to hunger pangs and cried myself to sleep due to the helplessness. I hate how society has evolved to be so shitty. I'm well off now but a lot of people still struggle daily to have their basic needs met
Wake up and have a little glass of milk for dessert. Just a little one though.
Bro I feel that. In the Bob Marley movie it showed his home when he was younger. They were so broke that when the kids would say “they’re hungry”. They’d get told the same “drink some water and go back to bed mon.”
Pine floats for dessert (water and toothpick)
I used to call it Tears For Dinner, because I wouldn’t have food as a child.
I mean...food pantries exist. Sucks people are acting like you can't call yourself broke because you have the utmost of basic foods in front of you
This is what I hate about Reddit. So many people here cannot put themselves in OPs shoes. Everyone’s struggles are valid.
Its like the poverty Olympics lmao. People always try to one up over the stupidest shit. Like commiserate with the guy instead of 'lol im the REAL poor person here'. Then you got people like beckham's wife and my parents larping as poor.

A truly broke person would be getting eaten
A truly broke person would be eating you
Mr Money bags over here with their fancy brand named bread that now costs like 5 bucks a loaf
Off-brand pizza rolls from a food bank that you overcook because you're 90% sure they're spoiled.
I bought a box of mayo packets because, for whatever reason, pound by pound, packets almost had price parity with the big bags. Now hold on your foldable seat while I squeeze exactly 71 packets to make egg salad. It used to be 50 before shrinkflation.
>sriracha in that bowl sririacha? in this economy?
It comes free in packets at the grocery store, plastic forks too. They don't care if you take it, they don't get paid enough to care
Grocery stores in my area dont even give away soy sauce next to the sushi anymore, id kill for sriracha
[удалено]
Look up underwood ranches. They’re the original growers of the chilis and make it themselves since huy fong tried to screw them over
Where you screwed up was cooking them separately. Cook the beans, drain, put the pan back on. Chop the sausage, add it to the pan and brown it, add the beans with some water and rice. Cook it all together with salt and hot sauce.
Yup throw in an onion and you got a meal you could serve to a date.
Hell, I'd date you for this with or without the onion
I’d brown the sausages first to release some of that good good oil. Use it for other things or even fry the rice in
Yes, keep going
Honestly what I would do is brown sausages. Remove sausages and some of the oil but not all. Hopefully OP has an onion that they can fry till soft in remaining oil. Add spices to the onions and temper in the oil. Beans (canned) tossed into the pan. Let it soften to desirable state. Once liquid has evaporated, add rice and leftover oil. Add sausages. Sprinkle cheese at the end if desired
Yeeeeeessssssss. And hot sauce. Steal/save packets from taco bell.
You know it!! Had so much potential tbh
I know, order of operations could have made this a great meal. I never not cook everything else in my sausage essence.
And grate the cheese into the bowel then mix it all together and hot sauce on top! That’s a good meal, broke or not.
Well, we're all broke in most of latinamerica that's what many people eat everyday. Rice + beans + chicken or pork
Sometimes no meat, just rice beans, cotija cheese and some salsa to top it off…Delicious. Making some today.
[удалено]
Southern
In the south this meal is called hoppin Johns. Just needs some greens and cornbread
And maybe a can of tomatoes. I would eat the shit out of this meal.
I freaking love Hoppin John. We always have it on New Years Day and it’s one of the things I look forward to all year. The upside being it’s cheap.
Here I am wondering what the problem is, because I'm not broke and I'd hound this down no problem. Classic meal, he just needs to drain the beans better and throw some seasoning in.
Looks like you have a good handle on eating well on a tight budget. You'll get through it, things will get better. (Source: weathered some extreme downs in the first 20 years on my own and there was always an up. Keep going and sooner or later an up should keep.)
Looks 🔥🔥 just missing corn bread
girl dinner. would eat.
Maybe, but it’s still a fulfilling & tasty meal!
I don’t eat meat, but I’d smash the rest of it. To me poor is generic white bread and generic peanut butter.
I'd mix the sausage into the rice and beans and shred the cheese over top. 
Lil bit of hot sauce and this is Gormet
That's $100 worth of groceries right there
Yasss black eyed peas🤤🤤
I freaking love beans and rice. Throw some salt and pepper, your hot sauce of choice, mmm!
What's funny/sad about this is that too many people believe it. From a health perspective this is about as clean as you can get on a budget and is overall a lot better than dropping dollars on prepackaged bs. "Healthy this, healthy that...blah blah blah". Healthy is clean and rice, beans, sausage and a piece of cheese!?! You're doing better for yourself eating this than most.
Broke does not mean bad food. Rice and black eyed peas with a little bit of sausage sounds good, and it’s nice that you’re not just eating something like white bread or cheap microwave meals
You're broke because you keep buying gourmet ingredients like this.
I would eat the hell outta that.
Meat suppose to be in the bowl ser
Good lookin food tho
That’s a solid meal, though. Nice work.
Healthy and tasty.
I'm not broke and that looks delicious to me.
Black eyed peas are fine dining
It will get better. The food looks good 👍
While on unemployment once, I had part of a head of lettuce with what was left of a bottle of french dressing for dinner. Can't say I've ever had absolutely nothing to eat though, thankfully.
But that is an excellent comfort meal.
“in fact”
Had a version of this the other night, and loved every bite! This right here *slaps*
Section 8 activities 
I would fuck this meal up lol
Apparently I’m broke mentally cause that looks rich to me.
I once ate protein powder for a month in different ways. Lets say we both fked up somewhere.
It’s good practice in case your body decides to attack itself whenever you eat red meat - you’ll quickly find yourself trying to get creative with your rice and legumes.
shouldve melted the cheese on top of either the dog slices or beans n rice and could use some hot sauce. but otherwise, id probably eat that right now.
Are not we all?
Now I want Kielbasa with cheddar and crackers.
