I really don't think you can beat $1 per serving with rice, vegtables, and fruit.
Don't get me wrong I like to cook. I understand a sack of rice is fucking cheap as hell. Still tho, I see ramen on sale sometimes for like 22 cents for the shitty brands. It also lasts forever. Fruit and Vegtables can spoil, Ramen will last for a while.
22 cents?! Where the fuck are you buying ramen? Out here Ramen is a dollar for a six pack. I took my last 2 dollars and ate for more than a week once.

The smack brand is notoriously cheap. You can usually find it packaged in packs at a dollar store.
I lived off nothing but ramen for two and a half months.
I felt terrible.
What do you say to that?!
Didn't you ever think about...you know, eating different food?
Yeah it was weird, I was often randomly offered filet mignon and surf & turf and all that jazz, but I just turned them all down.
Also when people just handed me $1000 bills on the street I just used them to light my black-market imported cuban cigars made from Swedish babies.
Plus I sold all 20 of my Lamborghinis when my psychic reminded me that my birth sign meant I was incompatible with Tauruses, plus Wall Street was not treating me well.
Looking back those were strange decisions.
But yes. Every day I looked forward to my delicious 2 dime ramen and nothing else. Why do you ask?
Seriously on

one time I had to borrow 16 dollars from an ex
after not eating for 4 days
do you know how bad that is
that's bad
then i went to burger king and then spent the rest on ramen
The way we do it is I pay-you pay. So dinner and a movie isn't exactly equal but since we keep alternating things works out somewhat equal. But when the lean times comes around I found myself taking her up on offers.
I've never understood why there are cheap ramen shops. I'd rather not pay obscene cash for something that costs 10 cents in the market.
On that note though, for everyone who complains about getting sick from ramen, there's ramen you can buy that's actually quite healthy for you, and the exact same price as normal ramen. Tastes damn spiffy and goes better with just about anything else. No palm or hydrogenated oils or fat for that matter, and more protein too!
I've got none in the apartment, but will be picking it up sometime this week. You'll get a concrete name then, but for now I think they're something like "Rooster Noodles" or some odd name. Still has the carbs in it to an extent no different than any grain noodle, but everything else is much better.
Looking them up on google has found me no results or images, but i'll look more.
My sleeping schedule was completely reversed for a while doing work with other people who are awake through the night. I'm trying to fix the schedule so I got up at 3am and i'm staying up and working until midnight-ish.
Seriously though, I was going to bed at 7am and waking up at 3 in the afternoon, pretty much missing sunlight completely many of the days being late fall and all. Not a healthy way to live.
I drank two bottles of Guinness and it acted like I had a bunch of fucking Rockstars and I couldn't sleep and I got bored of laying in bed. Now I have class in 3 hours
in some city in china they had these shops where you would point to one of the indecipherable menu choices and give the guy like like 20 cents and he would give you a certain colour plastic chip which you take to the other guy and i guess it doesnt matter what you chose or how much you paid or what colour the chip was because they would just give you a bowl of plain noodles, with almost no flavour, then maybe pour on some bland broth that was little more than hot water with a bit of salt, and maybe slice off a few pieces of pork or whatever off a huge bone. then you would go over to these other bowls filled with spices and flavourings like onions and chillies and shit and throw a spoonful of everything into your bowl maybe being careful with the chilli cos it could be pretty hot and suddenly you have this fantastic fucking meal that tastes like frugal angels crapped their heavenly shit into your mouth and suddenly you are thinking about how high your estimated food budget is and either you can eat well at these places for the next two weeks without meeting the planned spending limit for a single day and then the money saved can be used to indulge in or purchase something that had earlier seemed too expensive to consider or simply pocketed for future use, or perhaps you might just want to stay in this shop and use up your food budget for the day and keep eating these fantastic fucking noodles until you go back to your hotel and come back the next day because fuck sightseeing these noodles are pretty damn good and super cheap and how often do you get to just eat good food all day without spending more than a few dollars and anyway this city is pretty fucking boring and these noodle places are clearly the best things around
Raman is OK. I had to live off it for awhile. However Oriental is not a flavor. Its an old name for people from the orient that many now consider derogratory. Like if they had Honkey flavored Crackers.
Edit: I took out the offensive part. But its true. Also Oriental Raman blows balls.
Oriental is what I get when I need to eat Maruchan. I supplement that diet with Flintstones vitamins and the occasional day old bagel from Bruegger's and vegetables and such.
Here in Japan we have "Ethnic" flavored Pringles.
Bruegger's? What Mr. Donut is too far of a walk?
We don't have Mr. Donut in Minneapolis
I'm talking about dorm life and living in a studio apartment in downtown Minneapolis. Right now I'm set.

WOO, student life! Hopefully the Guiness was good though.

I got drunk and asked a girl on a date tonight at a nomihoudai (all you can drink)
She's one of the girls who subscribes to the short shorts newsletter.
Seriously I don't think I'll ever be able to live in America for any extended length of time after this. Girls here love to wear short fucking shorts. Like, even when it's cold as fuck out they wear short shorts. Normally it's not a big deal, but I'm a legs/ass man and mannnnnn
Ramen is shit. that maruchan shit anyway. I've never had real ramen and probably won't, ever, unless my chances change.
It will kill you it is filled with salt from the tears of the ocean, that's salty.
Buy frozen meals and bread and foods and rices and pastas and veges and grains and cereals
NOT RAMEN
are you kidding the salt is what makes it awesome
i am a man who likes him some salt
and boy there is enough of it in there
in fact i have been known to eat it without water
get a sandwich bag
crush noodles, pour salt package in, eat
delicious
edit: i have had real ramen and i still like the maruchan kind
This is a splendid snack. I have been eating Ramen like this since I was about 5. I quit shortly after college once I realized I'd consumed enough sodium to last me the rest of the life.
She said yes but who knows if she can hold a conversation between just two people. That's gotten more important since I got here.
I can get laid if I go to a dive bar with that intention, it seems, but that isn't really up my alley anymore.
There are several girls who are like, potentially the girl I'd go for and stay with for a longer time, but it's just a matter of seeing who reciprocates that intention.
She say yes? Did you supa gaijin powers win her over?
I'm imagining super gaijin light shining around Scarlet when people in Japan see him. Like he's white jesus or something.
Some people ask if I'm half because I seem conversationally fluent and my hair color looks like the color if a Japanese person dyed their hair.
ps keyword there was seem. I'm not fluent, but I hold my own, and that surprises them. Some friend of a friend was like wait you're fluent in ENGLISH!?!?! the other night.

"Poor students, don't settle for Ramen anymore! Buy my book called CAN. EAT. MORE! Lots of cheap wholesome recipes for you to try!"
is it substantially rad
For some reason I can't get Achewood.com to load right now though
I did it the awesome way and used a sauce pan instead of a microwave.
I never want to see Ramen Noodles ever again.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
22 cents?! Where the fuck are you buying ramen? Out here Ramen is a dollar for a six pack. I took my last 2 dollars and ate for more than a week once.
