Cheap Food Options for Camping/Road Trip?

Question

Im going on a road trip to Six Flags, and we will be camping when we get there..im 18 and we have a VERY limited budget. We are taking snacks with us but also need to buy food for meals when we get there. What are some things we could buy that are inexpensive and yummy?

Answer 1

Hello, I have a recipe for a cold pasta salad made with Mr. Noodles and coleslaw mix that is delicious, filling and costs about $5 to feed about 6 people! You'll need access to a camping stove to boil the noodle and the sauce and a cooler if you dont plan on eating it right away.

Here is the recipe:

1 Package if Broccoli Slaw or coleslaw mix

3 Green onions (chopped)

2 Packages of Mr. Noodles (I used Oriental flavor, but anything will do)

1 cup of almonds (whole or slivered)

½ cup of sunflower seeds (unsalted)

-cook Mr. Noodles following directions on the package and drain, cut and refrigerate them (without adding the spices)

- mix slaw and onions and nuts in a big bowl, add Mr. Noodles once they are done.  **The nuts are optional and can be left out to reduce cost.

Sauce

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup olive oil

2 packages of Mr. Noodle spice

-mix all the above ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Allow to boil for 1 minute. Pour over Noodle/slaw mix and mix well.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

**You can premix the sauce at home before you leave and just boil it when you get to where you're going.

Bonne Apetit!
