whats a good grocery list for a poor college student?

[TheFranchise55]

ive seen in several posts members spending 100 bucks on groceries per week. but i cant afford to be doing that. right now im trying to bulk but 3000 calories seems a whole lot to me. any suggestions?

[Wtf?]

Search..there's tons of "poor college students" on here and there's a huge thread somewhere.

Look for sales, and use plenty of coupons. Chicken will be your best friend since its cheap and has an excellent source of protein.

Here is a list of stuff that is cheap and healthy

Oats, Rice, Chicken, Common Fruits, Ears of Corn, Soups, Yogurts, Bread

Not as healthy but still cheap

Pasta, Cereal, Deli meats, Raman Noodles, Frozen Pizzas

Of course you can add stuff to each of those to make them better.

Pasta is calorie dense and is very very cheap, oats, eggs, tuna, chicken, they are all dirt cheap and there always seems to be offers on them.

Frozen veg is cheaper than fresh, you just have to be wise about your purchases.

beans and lentils, pasta, potatoes, tuna and milk

whats so bad about whole grain cereals such as all bran or bran flakes? a great complex carb just like oatmeal.. some cereals have as good of protein carbs and fiber as oatmeal but people disregard them? whats the big deal... special k protein plus has 5g of fiber / 10g protein per serving and 1g of sugar 100 calories.. what is so bad abou that? oh and 1g of fat..

all bran has 5g of fat and 5g of protein per serving with 2g of sugar and 1g of fat at 90 calories..

other then that the foods listed above are perfect.. a body builder can live off tuna, chicken, rice, frozen veggies, pasta is cheap and calorie dense i like to stay away from it.. even tho im trying to do a clean bulk

but if worst comes to worst.. buy tupperware containers and fill them up at the local cafeteria.. that works for me in college.. dont forget some cottage cheese, peanut butter, and some olive oil.. get some fats too man

egg pancakes are my secret forumula all you need is oats (grind in blender) eggs and raisins or bannanas, chop in blender or with fork.

To get the most out of your money, buy as much food as you can in bulk @ BJ's or Costco.

hey man, i spend between 40-60 bucks a week, and eat almost 4000 calories a day.

like most say it's about buying bulk. regardless, many of the best nutrient dense foods are very cheap. in an average trip to the grocery store i pick up the following: tuna, eggs, milk, cottage cheese, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, peanut butter (preferably natural), frozen veggies, frozen fruit, bananas, extra lean ground beef and golean cereal.

what everybody said above is really good for you, and also cheap. i got a job recently and am not taking any summer school so that i can focus on weight training and also buy a few extra things to boost my caloric intake. Make sure when you do buy, only get the off brand in most cases, like the off brand cottage cheese if you're shopping at Kroger. Also, shopping at wal-mart as opposed to Kroger or Publix is going to save you money anyhow and give you a wider selection. I try and use coupons, find things on sale, buy in bulk, and also, one of the best, try and buy frozen fruit for your smoothies, since the fresh fruit will be much more expensive !

best advice here, i got 9 pounds of oats for 7 dollars...that's 102 half cup servings, also peanut butter in bulk etc. works for me, being a poor boarding school student=-/ lol
