Sure. Quick look at your post history says you are in the United States, and for two people eating 3 meals a day or 180 total meals in a 30-day period:

  • Dry beans/peas/lentils/brown rice: can be found in bulk or online for $1 a pound. For $50 or so, you can have all of the grain/legume stables you need for several months. Similarly, a 10lb. (4500 gram) bag of russet potatoes can be had for $5 or less, and represents 50x half-cup servings. These are the foundations on which you meals.
  • Flour is always cheaper than what it gets made into. Notably tortillas, as they require very basic ingredients and can be mass-produced by meal-prep fans, and a cup of flour makes 5-6 tortillas. You can also get into baking your own bread, which is also cheap (and easy once you get a process together), but suffers IMO from not really being a once a day/month thing like tortillas can be.
  • Meat doesn't need to be expensive; it just needs to be rationed properly. A restaurant will give you 8-16oz in a steak, but a dietary serving is usually 4-6oz and half of that can flavor/texture a larger meal. Bone-in meats can be cheaper, but you have to be separating and measuring the edible portions if you want to be certain that it's the most cost-effective (I've worked in a meat department where bone-in wasn't saving you money, and I've seen others that I'd assume are similar. Larger cuts and roasts, whole chickens, and the like make no difference for the meal planner. Pork isn't healthy, but it's cheap. Cooking with ground chuck (hamburger) is particularly effective if you use it as a flavor instead of a main course. The added benefit to using meat as a flavor is that fat content is far less important - more fat means more flavor, which means you don't have to use as much.
  • Eggs are somewhat pretty cost-effective source of nutrition, used instead of meat or diary. An egg at each meal is 6 a day between the two of you - roughly $1.
  • Dairy is a dense food, in terms of calories and in cost. You can definitely include it, but you need to be very strict in how you measure it. 2lbs of cheese can be had in my region for around $6-8, which is 32x one-ounce servings. An ounce of cheddar can have over 100 calories, 9g of fat, and 7g of protein. You might want more, but you don't need more. A single serving in all 180 meals would run me around $36-$48 dollars a month, which is really not that bad when you consider the stables (the fundamentals that make the core of your foods) are much cheaper. Keep in mind that what really skyrockets cost is wanting to mix all of these expensive items together. Meat, cheese, and eggs in a breakfast burrito will break the bank if you aren't careful.
  • Nuts are in the same boat for the most part. Here is ten pounds of raw peanuts for $35. A one-ounce serving has 160 calories, 14g of fat, and 7g of protein, and that order there is good for 160 servings (enough for the two of you to have at all but a few of your meals each month). Other nuts are similarly expensive, which is why portioning and calorie/macro counting is important.
  • Fruits and veggies are getting expensive. You want variety for health (and sanity) reasons, but that can be difficult. To start, onions and carrots tend to be dirt cheap when bought in large quantities. Certain frozen or canned veggies, such as frozen cut bell peppers, are cheaper than they would be fresh. The prices of greens vary, but not all greens are created nutritionally equal. Spinach and broccoli are two of the most common super-greens; I'd suggest trying to incorporate some of those into your meals, at any price. Overall, I suggest in the planning process that you check out this website managed by the USDA to track prices on specific foods, or do some local shopping. It's important to remember that food gets more expensive out of season, if it's available at all, so nothing will be the perfect magic bullet year-round.
  • Non-water drinks are expensive. Alcohol is expensive. Coffee and soda are expensive. If you don't want to give up these vices, then I suggest approaching them from a bulk standpoint. It appears to make no sense to buy a soda machine, CO2, and soda syrups, but if you each normally drink two a day then that adds up to 4x365= 1460 sodas per year. Ditto coffee. Shop bulk options, or quit if you can manage it.

    Last piece of advice: the most cost-effective food is the food you manage to grow or make yourself. A 24" garden pot can grow daily baby greens salads, organically, using a spring, spinach, and/or spicy mix to give the nutritional value of a dozen or more different kinds of greens. Cherry tomatoes grow like weeds, and 10 square feet of them can yield pounds of them daily when it's warm enough to do so. A closet-sized greenhouse can grow enough nutritional value year-round to keep you from being overwhelmingly deficient in anything. One chicken will lay more eggs than the average person is used to eating. Baking bread, or tortillas, being able to walk through a farmer's market or a grocery store holiday sale and recognize the real deals that can give you variety while being cheaper than your usuals - these are how you really cut costs.

you probably won't find people selling the nut itself since it's a alkaloid (poisonous) without cooking/roasting it.

u/ramesesbolton · 8 pointsr/PCOS

great list! I'll post my snacks:

  • raw pecans (the walmart brand is the best deal I've found so far)

  • babybel mini cheese wheels

  • jacklinks thick-cut bacon jerky (most jerky has sneaky sugar in it, this is the tastiest truly low carb option I've found)

  • mauna loa macadamias, I recommend the maui onion and garlic flavor

  • flamin' hot peanuts (I love and miss flamin' hot cheetos, so these are a game-changer. like all peanuts there's a small amount of carbs balanced out by fiber)

  • blue diamond almonds, all the flavors are great!

  • sunflower seeds, any flavor

  • pork rinds (these aren't my favorite snack personally, but they're good for dipping where you'd usually use chips)

  • quest bars (some flavors are hit or miss)

  • hard-boiled eggs with season salt and pepper

  • deviled eggs

  • wings with non-sugary sauce

  • blackened or grilled shrimp

  • canned tuna or salmon

Cheapest I’ve found: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C6K7K4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NgLFDbRVQ6XZP

They’re chopped not whole but perfectly fine for sauces etc. ~$5 a pound

u/dicey · 3 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

You can also get them on Amazon.

u/tofulightening · 3 pointsr/vegan

No problem. Here you go: http://www.amazon.com/Manitoba-Harvest-Shelled-Hearts-5-Pound/dp/B00196498I/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1332900264&sr=8-6 It seems like a lot to pay but they really will last a long time.

u/plasticinplastic · 3 pointsr/vegan

If you like protein powders, you might want to try out Vega. I've used it from time to time and like it. http://www.amazon.com/Vega-Nutritional-Shake-Vanilla-Ounce/dp/B0079BZDK0 I think it's pea protein based.

Another thing to consider trying is hemp seeds. They're very protein rich and good for you. I buy them in a large tub that lasts for months in my refrigerator http://www.amazon.com/Manitoba-Harvest-Shelled-Hearts-5-Pound/dp/B00196498I/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1377652708&sr=1-3&keywords=hemp+seeds I add them to smoothies, oatmeal, PB&J sandwiches, homemade pesto, etc.

Also, have you tried seitan? I've been vegan for years and was never a huge fan until the vegan restaurant Native Foods came to Chicago. I love the way they prepare seitan. It's prompted me to buy some seitan at Whole Foods and I recommend Sweet Earth Foods. Their curry seitan is phenomenal and very high in protein. http://www.sweetearthfoods.com/

Kudos to you for going vegan!

Since her hair is dry from overwashing, you can make your own conditioner for very cheap to help restore it. (Do this after getting a haircut and taking several inches off to get rid of the split ends.)

Buy whole flax seeds. Simmer them in a small pot for an hour on low. Let them air cool for a few hours on the stove. Skim the goop from the top. Strain it using a coffee filter into a little bowl.

Have your daughter use it as a conditioner when she showers next. Going forward, she never shampoos her hair. Ever. Instead, have her wet her hair thoroughly, put this stuff in her hair and leave it there. Then she washes her body, shaves, brushes her teeth, whatever. Then she combs her hair in the shower using a wet brush or very wide tooth comb. Then she rises it out.

For clarity, a wet brush is something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GTR6164

A wide tooth comb is something like this ($5.99 for 2): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0756QT3SW

Whole flax seeds ($2.99): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MYFZR8Z

  1. The most amazing bed!. No explanation needed.

  2. The perfect snack. It'll full your belly up and it's a light snack compared to sweet and savory stuff.

  3. Cupcakes!

  4. Elephant night light.

  5. For my son, a box fan helps him stay asleep. If it's turned off in the night, guaranteed he'll wake up 5 or 6 times, with it on, he usually wakes up once, if that!

    Koala?

    She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh French bread.
u/Dumdumgirlsbeeep · 2 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

I bought 3 pounds of walnuts on Amazon for $12 lol.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JKSD9XP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_V2zEDbXRV63C5

u/magicmanfk · 2 pointsr/vegan

I buy these. Still not cheap but cheaper maybe? Not great to snack on plain but definitely does the trick for any sort of cooking.

u/discardedlife1845 · 2 pointsr/Whatisthis

I think they're a Chinese walnut, a much smaller variety than we're used to seeing in NZ.

u/Smilingaudibly · 2 pointsr/ketorecipes

I actually bought a keto snack mix at Kroger, then baked it with the seasonings like you would for making homemade Chex mix. It turned out really well!! I used Worchester sauce, garlic powder, and some salt, but it would be more authentic if you follow the recipe. This is the snack mix I bought - https://smile.amazon.com/Natures-Garden-Keto-Snack-Mix/dp/B07Y2FYGTN

u/honeybeedreams · 1 pointr/whatsthisplant

eat these: Chestnuts Organic Whole Roasted Peeled Chestnuts (Chestnuts 3oz, 6-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F6M3YC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NxZzDb7BWM73C

u/BongyBong · 1 pointr/vegan

I agree. Amazon is the best so far. I buy these Kirkland Cashews.

Btw, if you need a recipe to try out, make this Vegan mozzarella spinach and artichoke dip. So. Freaking. Delicious.

u/pascha · 1 pointr/vegan

Change your fridge and pantry first.

Switch to vegan mayonnaise.

Get Almond/Oat/Coconut milk. Now you can have vegan cereal etc.

Check the ingredients on your bread...

Have a go-to meal if you only have 5 minutes. Like a sliced tofurkey sandwich...

1 addition to your pantry should be hemp seeds. I get these on Amazon on subscription for $11.51/pound. Add to oatmeal/cereal/anything...

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/keto

They have them on Amazon, but the carbs listed are different. Looks like the same thing, though: http://www.amazon.com/Manitoba-Harvest-Shelled-Hearts-8-Ounce/dp/B001M1EQ60/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1330949635&sr=8-5.

If you have a Discover card - free one-day shipping all month!

u/TechInLife · 1 pointr/PlantBasedDiet

Awesome thanks for all the tips! have rice cooker so covered there. Blender #1 on the list after doing some more research(sauces, drink, etc...). That said after checking out hot for food where do you buy you cashews in bluk? https://www.amazon.com/Sincerely-Nuts-Cashews-Whole-Raw/dp/B001KW8UVI
https://www.amazon.com/Raw-Organic-Cashews-5-lbs-Sincerely/dp/B004JYIKX2
looks like between 35-50 for 5 lbs depending, if you have any resources for that or brands that would be cool. thanks again!!
