Balanced and flavorful?

With 80€, I get around 2 weeks of groceries in Germany for 1 person… Almost free highest quality tap water, no breakfast, bread with something on it for lunch, something for dinner that results in leftovers for 1-2 days…

Two types of Aldi’s and you can drink beer while you shop to I bet. For lunch you have somzing Kool like a cigarette.

Feel free to post more untrue assumptions…

Which was untrue? The joke about Europeans having a cigarette for lunch. Two truths and a lie.

Well… I’m not feeling that I’m missing anything… My meat consumption is pretty low by the way…
1 kg Spaghetti = 2 € reduced price 1.5 kg Tomatoe puree = 3.50 € reduced price Let’s assume 1€ for all the other non-meat stuff you put in there…
Voila, Spaghetti Napoli… This is enogh food for me for lunch + dinner, lunch, dinner on the next day and lunch the day after for only 6.50 € total.
A frozen Pizza is like 2 € (reduced price)…
A large bread is a few €s, but is enough for multiple days…
If I want to reach the stated 80€ a week, I kind of have to eat in a restaurant or invite more people…

Where’s the vegetables? Fresh lettuce or spinach? Onions, carrots, celery, broccoli, kale, cucumber, fresh peas, peppers, egg plants….
You’re just eating canned tomatoes and pasta. People get more balanced diet than that at the food bank!
gigachad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
If you decide to only eat plain tomato with pasta, and that for 14 days, yep that’s possible. You are still eating like shit, and that is far from a balanced nutrition.

Cooking for yourself and not eating out ever, and my bill from Aldi rarely is above $50, just buy seasoning as you go. I make a week’s worth of food on one day a week, freeze most of it, and then just reheat it in a microwave.

Yup. I’d make a tray of lasagna, in my bachelor days, and it would last me about 4 days. Of course I’d be really tired of lasagna by then lol

Man…I just spent a month cooking chicken, and freezing it. My freezer is FULL of frozen chicken in ziplock baggies. I’d buy 6 packs of chicken, which have 4-5 pieces each. I’d cook 1 pack a night for a week, and on my off day go buy 6 more packs for next week.
Then I’d throw them in the freezer individually in ziplocks.
I work Sunday-Thrusday. So on Friday, I pull 5 chickens down to the fridge to thaw, and that’s ready by sunday. Then every day I just grab 1 chicken to bring to work. Aldis also sell lunch meats, but they have reusable containers. So I bought these condiment cups with sealable lids, fill each of them with BBQ sauce. Put the chicken still frozen in the ziplock into the former lunchmeats tupperware. Then put the bbq sauce up in. Seal the tupperware, and stack them 5 high like that. Then Sunday before work, I just reach in, grab one tub, and throw it in my bag. My bag also has some fruit, and some little snacks inside another lunchmeats tupperware. Just grab 2 tubs. throw them in my bag, and it’s ready for me.
Adulting!
…cries.

All you eat for lunch is chicken? Why not pasta or rice or bread or tortillas? All that chicken could make a ton of frozen burritos or chicken pastas or stir fries to eat with rice!
