You’re dead on right about the whiskey. Only in my case a little greener.

I find as long as I have pickles, olives, and cheese in my fridge, I’m totally able to deal with the pizza cravings, or ice cream cravings.

This list sounds like something that would be supported by my super-kitchen-savvy buddy Keith, who has a letterboard on his kitchen wall with reviews of various spices (i.e. “sage. Not bad. Rosemary. Very, very good.”) The salad sounds like the one my fiancee and I make all the time, and I agree about sale items at Ralphs. Do NOT get caught in the trap of liking something at Ralph’s that’s never on sale. Big, expensive mistake.

On another note, avocados. They’re expensive, but damn, they make everything uber-yummy, and I could easily see myself going insane without them.

Good list.

Wow, you give yourself WAY to much credit calling this the “Absolute” cheapest food strategy. Cereal in general is pointless, eat oatmeal, or better yet quinoa. Jam/jelly is also pointless and WAY overpriced, use honey. Many of your other comments are just common sense, beans and rice my friend.

As a poor college student, generally I avoid buying sauces since they usually have ingredients I do not want (like HFCS) and are more expensive than buy spices and learning how to use them.

If I get a sauce, it better work on everything.

Cheese instead of dressing on salad is also a cheap and fairly mobile meal. I’ll put just a small amount of bleu cheese if I can afford it, or feta, or something with a strong taste, onto salad instead of dressing and I’m good to go.

BARLEY. You can get 25 pounds of barley for like 15 dollars. It tastes SO GOOD too.

Too bland you say? Add a dash of salt and pepper. Delicious.

I think this just became my new shopping list. Thanks for the ideas.

You’ve essentially described a pretty regular persons diet. This is the stuff I buy and eat everyday and I’m not poor and starving.

When I was poor and starving, I ate chicken that came from a bag with a label that said “may contain parts of chicken not listed such as kidneys, heart, lungs, etc.” I was scared.

I’m sort of amused by how much you sound like me, but you say “Boom” more.

Seriously though, this sounds pretty similar to my diet, all the way down to the cheap whiskey.
