My dude, do you need some easy recipes? That can't be good for your mental health.

No.

I need money to be able to afford better food.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Oh I can give quick, easy, and cheap, with a heavy emphasis on cheap. In another comment I was gushing about carne de soya, you can get the equivalent of a pound of 90/10 ground beef for $0.97. You toss it in a slurry of sauce or seasoning and it becomes instant sausage with the exact same texture as ground pork.

Even baring that, just adding beans and lentils into your rotation can be a game changer. Good health and sleep is the strongest act of rebellion any one person can commit to.

Energy drinks are expensive, health and money.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Redbull and Monster are expensive. Venom and Unbound Energy are less than a dollar.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

A 32 oz bag of dried beans is $2. A 2 lb bag of carrots, also $2. Cook these together and you have a ton of meals

Monster's not terrible if you buy it in bulk. You can get it for around a dollar per can from places like Costco.

Redbull idk - that stuff tastes like ass imo, so l never paid much attention to price. ...for the record, most Monster tastes like shit too, but there's a few gems in the Ultra line.
