How To Live On $30 A Week (for food)

Throw some potatoes or fruit in for vitamin c

1 whole chicken
1 bag of potato
1 bag of onions
1 bag of carrots
1 bag of celery
1 whole garlic
1 cabbage (optional)
Pantry basic staples (flour, seasonings)

Day one - roast the chicken with a few of the veg (save the bones). Use the drippings to make a pan gravy or save.
Day two - hearty leftovers
Day three - boil remaining chicken and carcass with half the remaining carrots, onions, garlic, celery (including the leaves) then simmer for a full day. Strain, removing any pieces of meat separate from the rest. Now you have an AMAZING, flavorful, rich chicken stock. Add remaining veg and separated chicken to the stock for the best homemade chicken soup ever.

This could feed a family of four, dinners for at least five days, or the stock/soup could be frozen for later. Pair with homemade bread to fill up, or add noodles or rice to the soup.

Soups are the absolute perfect way to to stretch out expensive ingredients like meat, make use of throwaway items like bones, and make use of inexpensive, whole vegetables.

Scurvy diet right there.

Add potatoes. Vitamin c there.

Actually potatoes, milk and oatmeal give a person what they need to live. Kind of boring but you won’t be unhealthy.
