Even though I'm still living at home, I like feeling independent so a lot of the foods I eat are purchased by myself. What I usually have...
- Frozen Pizzas
- Canned Chili + Shredded Cheese (Sometimes on a Hoagie Roll)
- Shredded Cheese or Peanut Butter on a Tortilla (snack)
- Yogurt
- Quaker Instant Oatmeal
- Red Rose Black Tea
- Eggs
- Chef Boyardee Ravioli
- Spaghetti-O's
- My version of Subway's Italian BMT (Hoagie roll, Pepperoni, Ham, Salami, Pepper Jack Cheese, Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing)
- Cereal
- Sloppy Joes (ing win)
All fairly cheap. |

I doubt it'd work. Everytime I used it they had compared it to a database of accepted coupons. It wouldn't show up on their database anymore. |

That's why you pull the insistent-customer card and start making a scene. ;) |

| I used to buy a bag of mixed frozen veg and make soup out of it too, just need a few stock cubes. Cook it for ages then mash it up a bit. Very healthy, very cheap, and agin you can freeze it :p |

if you have a toaster oven... make quick pizzas
-pita bread, meat, salsa, cheese shove it in to the toaster oven for a few min till the cheeze melts and there’s something different
-buy 99cent microwave able pizzas
-eat fruit/veggies for snacks (healthy and more filling)
-hotdogs with mac and cheeze
- tuna salad... boil some rice/macaroni put a can of tuna in and add ranch dressing mix it up (add onion if you like it)
- cottage cheese and green onions on toasted bread
- boiled eggs
- sausages
- keep bread frozen
- avoid sugar food that way you wont keep eating more and more
get a gorge formin .. put chicken on it even if frozen, makes good grilled chicken mix it up with salsa and eat with bread...
- take one day and create ground beef than separate it into bags and freeze it |

Thanks for the recipe, doesn't look too hard. |
Super easy m8 - Seriously anyone could do it, it's quick, and you really feel like you ate something good for you afterwards. 
I have some other good ones as well, also some solid soup recipes if you want them :) |
