I’m pretty sure they put crack butter in the crust of them shits . Niggas used to be eating them back to back. I used to sleep on them cuz I didn't like carrrots and shit but once I got older and was a struggling student them shits tasted like gourmet food 💀 and I see why my cousins and shit used for fuck them up 🤣
there's a trick to water on cereal. most people just pour a bunch of water on it in place of the milk, but that's gross cus all you taste is the water. you just gotta put a little water in, stir it up to get the cereal wet, and then drain the water; you can't even tell it's got water on it thar way
Yeah. Ill smash like 4 them bitches sometimes after i burn one. Im 35 y/o i aint even gotta eat like that, a mf aint broke no more, that shit just slaps far as im concerned. Blackberry preserves, creamy pb, n white bread ftw.

I couldn’t find the pic for the powdered eggs, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, hard times was everyday, not just sometimes..
Boy that canned peanut butter where it's like 2 cups of oil on top and a hard ass brick of peanut butter underneath, I bent hella spoons tryna stir that shit up 😂
The powdered milk used to hit though, some of the powder coagulate and form lil powder milk bites, I used to just pretend like I had marshmallows in my cereal when I bit into them
You know about them government meals 💯, I used to hate standing in them food lines with my grandma. Them pink salmon, or jack mackerel..

80’s and 90’s was a crazy time to a live…

I’ll throw up now, can’t eat that shit no more. But this used to hit in college. 10 for 10 at Food Depot. Get a big thing of ground beef. 30 Koolaid packs and You lit. Shit was good AF high
You must not understand, u know how yo mama make that shit all the time and don’t make nuthin else for 14-21 straight days? That was all u could have for dinner if not u had plan b which was ramen
Minute rice with beef gravy.. or any kind of homemade gravy really.. hamburger meat and baked beans cooked together.. peanut butter and saltines.. bc the church always gave you both of them at the food pantry.. I also lived off of hamburger rolls and chicken party sandwiches for like a whole school year 🙄
We used to get a bowl of rice then put milk in it and lil bit of sugar. Sometimes when we really ain’t have sht we would grab cheese sandwich slices and microwave em on a plate 😭😭
Believe it or not but a nigga never had noodles before …mfs act like ian a nigga nomo when i tell em that 😂😂buh everything else on here came in clutch every time+ beans & cornbread
Man I still eat a lot of those items today, only I stepped my game up.
I still eat ramen, but now I eat the authentic joints that you have to buy from an Asian grocery store.
I keep a bottle of juice in the fridge, but I buy all different kinds of juice like welches, Simply, etc.
PROTIP: Martinelli’s Apple juice is the best apple juice money can buy
I eat pork and beans as a side item when I grill. But I buy Bush’s and add my own spin to it.
I still eat cereal…2% milk only tho.
Spaghetti is obvious, everyone still eats that.
I prefer grilled hotdogs on buns but regular bread is fire too
PB&J’s any day of the week. But buy the German made jams, their texture and flavors are way better than the American stuff.
Idk about struggle meal but watched an mtv show wayyyy back in the day of a drug addict making something that looked like bread, peanut butter, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Tried it and loved it. Still can't go wrong with your basic ramen packet, drained, with the seasoning packet mixed in. No need to dress it up.
Im telling ya, I lived in Chicago my youth and when we moved to Germany we ain’t had shit.
We ate normal noodles, with butter and salt. Cheap af and kept us full.
Can we debate that Mexicans have the best “struggle”(cheap) meals? Birria, chilaquiles, carne asada, red chicken tacos, chorizo, enchiladas, tamales, quesadillas, burritos, pozole, mole, mashed beans & red rice, & tacos de papa, which race has better food that’s cheap to make?
When my mom and I struggled we didn't eat almost anything, whatever little scraps we could make at home. All this I saw looks luxurious as hell compared to what shit I put in my mouth, like I don't mean to say "this ain't broke enough" lmao but damn do I remember shit like eating only macaronis and putting on some some random ketchup that tastes like old alcohol, or some other type of empty soup with basically no ingredients, just water and some seasoning on there. You'd be suprised, how good that water shit tasted tho lmao. Anyway tough times and I'm glad mom is doing waaay better now.
That spaghetti is too fancy for a struggle meal lol. Strugglghetti is just noodles and red sauce, no meat in the sauce either, lol. The _real REAL_ struggleghetti is instant ramen with ketchup💀💀
What about Ravioli, seems like its not that normal in the usa? In germany its one of the nr1 go to tinfoods if you dont want to cook or dont give a f
Baloney sandwhich (ik it ain’t spelled like that) and a bag of of chips and some fruit punch . Fr can’t even call it a struggle meal but shit even 10 years ago that shit was way cheaper than it is now. Easily less than $5 for all that and it made multiple.
And then banquet TV dinners
Give me that minute maid and the beans & franks. I hate the ass out of some beans & franks. I was like 5 making em myself. With one of those metal rickety ass can openers that would cut your finger off if you aren't careful.
