Reddit reviews Quaker oats, old fashioned, 2 5 lb. bags, 100+ servings 10-lb

Dried beans are MUCH cheaper. They're a bit of a pain in the ass because you have to soak them overnight (or at least several hours) before you cook them but the savings is very much worth it. For a bonus, if you want to fart a lot and loudly, drink or cook with the water they soaked in instead of disposing it.

The same goes for any type of dry rice as opposed to the instant variety. Personally, I avoid the all white rice because the nutritional value is super low compared to any other type of rice. Although, even the white rice has more nutritional value than Ramen and it's cheaper.

Another good trick if you don't have much time is to buy a rotisserie chicken. I eat the legs for one mean with nuked frozen veggies and then shred the breasts to make several more meals. So for $7ish I can get 3-4 meals. It's easy to add variety too. I use the shredded breasts for anything from wraps to adding BBQ sauce and making sloppy joe type things.

For breakfast, Oatmeal is your friend. If you can afford dried fruits to add to it, its much better. You can get two 5lb bags of it on Amazon, that's over 100 breakfasts. If you want to make it super healthy, just add a TBsp of brewers yeast to it before you add the boiling water. That $20 of brewers yeast will last you years. I now also add Acai berries to mine but that's $30 every two to three months.

Source: I've been very, very, poor many, many, times in my life. Even some of the times I haven't been technically poor, I've not had a renter or been in the process of evicting a delinquent tenant in my rental unit so I had to pay two mortgages/insurances/common fees/etc on one income.

I started making my own granola. 100+ servings of rolled oats costs $17 and lasts me about three months of granola and overnight oats-making needs. Easily a $100/year savings, as bags of granola cost $5+.

Cold-brew coffee is my other big make-at-home cost save. $6 for 1-2 pounds of ground coffee, big batch brew, and boom, 25-30 cups of cold brew ready to go for the next couple weeks.

I received my order of 10 lbs of oatmeal and 240 bags of Bigelow green tea for under 40 bucks. I eat/drink both daily, so it was convent and the tea was much cheaper than the grocery store. I typically stock up on oatmeal when it is on sale, so not sure how much/if I saved any money there.

Every night I have a base of either quinoa or rice, prepared in my rice cooker with various vegetables and spices. If rice, I'll roll it up with nori for homemade veggie rolls.

With dinner I have a 12 ounce glass of water with two tablespoons of flax and one tablespoon of chia.

I buy my pinto beans and black beans loose in bulk at the local grocery store when picking up my vegetables, usually around 5 or 6 pounds of each at a time.

Cumin, garlic powder, tahini, and dry garbanzo beans go for a good homemade hummus in a food processor. Needs a fresh lemon or two squeezed into the tahini. Original recipe had olive oil and salt, I leave out the oil entirely and either cut the salt down to a dash or none at all.

I keep oats and almond meal on hand to make pdb cookies with the same food processor, just add a banana or two, cinnamon, nutmeg, almond butter, and raisins if you like. The original recipe called for dates and I said eat me I'm doing raisins.

I got peppermint in bulk to make tea with, both by itself as well as mixing with chamomile, mugwort, etc.

I keep almost all of the above in these convenient cereal containers to both extend shelf life, shelf space, and remove any branding or advertising. Mason jars are also awesome!

Don't forget you can dehydrate your own food as well!

Edit: I don't work for Amazon, I just live no-car and order like this to survive!
