Cheapest food out there

What's the cheapest food you can live on for 5 days a week, and don't say McDonald, cause it's pretty expensive. Like rice or noodle or anything cheaper than that

And technically you can survive without food for 5 days a week if you have water. A better comparison would be over the span of a month

Instant noodles is the cheapest but the cans of beef stew at Dollarama give more food for the buck.

Bread & Butter with water.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Can of tuna 99 cents, or sockeye salmon for $1.99.

Canned Red Kidney Beans are healthy too, if you can stand eating beans.

Beans and rice.
Beans are dirt cheap and a sack of rice is even cheaper.
Decent in terms of nutrition as well.

I'm assuming you're trying to maximize: nutrition divided by cost
Beans canned
Cheap meat when on sale
Vegetables probably canned
Water
Bulk grains

Curry powder and mix with water to make a sauce. Curry is a miracle food= makes everything taste good. Example: vegetables tend to be boring and bland. Add some curry sauce and vegetables taste good. Don't even need meat for the meal.. Eat curry with rice, bread or flat bread. =

Rice and potato are probably the cheapest if you compare calories per $. Fruits and vegetables can fill the nutrition gap and are fairly cheap too. Many fruits are under $1 or around a lb. I don't recommend neglecting your health. Not eating right can cost you thousands in medical costs down the line.

Rice, cornmeal, potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, watermelon.
Buy a turkey, take the meat off the bones, slow cook the meat in a curry or tomato sauce. Use the bones in a pressure cooker to make stock. Use the stock to cook greens in. Any meat that is on sale is good. The last stock I made was from left over beef bones, turkey neck, turkey bones, chicken wing tips, chicken bones old carrots, old celery, old peppers from the fridge/freezer. Apples off the mark down rack make cobbler for dessert, as do peaches. Peppers from the markdown rack can be roasted and canned, pickled and canned, used in a stir fry with curried turkey on rice, mashed potatoes. Reconstitute dried beans for fibre.
