    So... what meal (including at least a beverage and an entree) can you put together for $1 or less?

    Perhaps not "fine dining," but my entry is certainly not too shabby...

    1/3 of a 1 lb bag of breaded calamari rings (bag cost $1) = 33 cents
    1/3 of a lemon (lemons 20 cents each) = 7 cents
    1 12 oz beer served ice cold (MGD @ $6/12) = 50 cents

    Total cost = 90 cents.

    And, lots of ideas for this thread...

    Bag of Breaded Chicken Breasts= ~$7.00
    There are a bunch in there, Probably 20 or so = .35c
    Hamburger Buns= ~1.00 for 8 buns = ~ .12c
    Head of lettuce= 1.00/ Couple of leaves of lettuce, Priceless :D
    Mayo= FREE/I steal bags of stuff from wherever I eat
    Mustard=Same as Mayo
    Napkins=Same as Mayo and Mustard. :D

    .53 remaining for whatever else you want to put on it.

    Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich with a glass of cold milk.

    Can of Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich

    Quesadillas and some taco sauce (steal Taco sauce from Taco Bell or something like that)

    Buy a block of Velvetta for about $6.00, cut it into cubes. Get a bag of tortilla chips, and throw some chips on a plate, and some cheese on top, throw it in the microwave.

    I'm a college student, and I eat poorly. :D

    Eating is consuming food.

    Food is the nutrients the body needs

    Oxygen is a nutrient.
