Best meals under 5$

[Banchan]

Those are good, but their extremely low price sometimes worries me as to what they really consist of.

Flour and cornstarch. Its all good.

Id have to go with Walmart deli you can get 6 decent sized wings and a side with gravy for 4 bucks.

Also they sometimes have whole chickens for 2.50 i just cook some rice and i got dinner.

Culvers snak paks are good whole meals with drink for 4 and change.

Where on earth do you live where you can get whole chickens for $2.50?

In Canada, it's a deal at $8.99, but it is more commonly listed at $12. Damn we pay so much more for food up here.

What do you mean a whole chicken for 2.50? Is it cooked? How is that even possible

Oatmeal is the GOAT.
Healthy, cheap, filling, good (if you know how to make it good)

am a HUGE fan of oatmeal. i usually add bananas and heat it in the microwave. it's really filling and satisfying.

though in general, if we're talking under $5, i buy tons of veggies and make a soup. i used to have roommates who would think it crazy that i actually enjoy that. well, it's true.

I didn't realize Culver's was in your area. I thought they were just in Wisconsin and a couple of surrounding States.

Wendy's 4 for $4

Yeah its new and its awsome best burgers besides SteaknShake

i used to have a Walmart Supercenter back in PA, but i never saw no whole chicken for under 3bucks, that's like .25c a fucking /lb, are you sure you're getting real chickens and not those cornish hens?

Well in Georgia when some from the previous day werent bought for 5 bucks they would reduce it to 2.50

Georgia my friend i can get 10 pieces of fried chicken legs,thighs, and breast for 6 bucks and change. Not to mention catfish i can get a whole 5 lb catfish deep fried for 7 dollars.

even at 5$ that's .89c a /lb damn, what's the current going rate for chickens in grocery stores then?

i can get a whole chicken at my various supermarkets/farmers market for
1.99 to 2.49.

surprisingly, the best tasting chicken is the halal chicken, you know the mooslum kosher version, and it's for like 1.49/lb for some reason

i live right next to a whole foods and they want to sell me a whole chicken for 4.99/lb

how do you do the bird? i used to butterfly and roast the chicken whole, now i just do it beer can style.

One more reason to love Georgia. Cheap food, fine southern woman and home to the GOAT 90's R&B band (112)

I go to the butchers sometimes and get the specials which is like 10 whole chickens so i get then at basically 2.00 each im talking 4 lb bucks birds.

Since im southern nothing beats good ol BBQ. I like to smoke the chicken with applewood for up to 4 hours then apply some homemade cajun BBQ sauce from Louisiana.

 

[astrozician]

It's quite easy to eat good at home for less than 5 bucks. A lot of stuff is quite affordable, even compared with the Dollar menus at Fast Food.

Fast food?
2 Double Decker tacos from Taco Bell and a tostada should be under 5, I think.
Carls Jr Breakfast Burger
Anything from Popeyes.... screw the $5 limit.

Sometimes i get 20 nuggets from BK and get that 5 pack of ramen for a dollar mix them together thats what i use to eat when i was unemployed last week.

 

[Rod1]

5 bucks in Mexico? can get you a shitload of stuff like half a kilo of carnitas, half a grilled chicken, 2 tortas of pulled pork etc etc.

 

[minute bull]

The very definition of "manlet."

EDIT -- I thought that said "males."
