Spare a ramen noodle....
Good, now that I hate myself, what is your favorite poor man's meal....I understand if some of your were never poor or never went to college or whatever....$5 to feed 2 people is the random ass borders I'll create for this experiment.
Mine is Spammy Mac....I think it's obvious it's spam and macaroni n cheese...Shit is soooooo good.....$2 for the can of spam, $1 for some noodles and $1 for cheese (I used to get a pack of Kraft singles)......Nowadays, I'll use sharp cheddar and Muenster but that takes it well over $4.
I think my runner up would be baked beans and hotdogs and lite bread (white bread...I have no idea why people call it that, but that's growing up in the South for ya.)
Every once in a while I eat a struggle meal because I'll be honest, trash is kinda good
Canned corned beef and rice....NO, NOT CORNED BEEF HASH....It's so weird that I've asked 2 people to bring me a can of corned beef before and they both brought home corned beef hash
