Cheap food that needs no cooking?

Question

ok...i thought this would be an interesting question...

If you had to live in your car for a month (let's just ignore the bathroom issue for a while)...it's pretty obvious that you can't cook anything in it. So...what kind of foods would you buy? They would have to be both cheap and ready made so that you don't need to heat it. What kinds of food would you buy?

So far...i thought of bananas, peanut butter and jelly sandwich...

Answer 1

Don't sell yourself short, Sunshine.  All fruits and all vegetables can be eaten raw.  If you must have peanut & jelly OK.  Nuts are truly great, if you are not allergic.  You don't need to cook.  If you have any cash then cheese would be great, bread/crackers/dry breads (you know like Ryvita et al.  Actually, I do a lot of this.  Maybe discuss this with your doctor, but then if you are going to live in car for a month, maybe not.  Consider (if you are in a car)  that you are by the beach, by a river, in the mountains.........Imagination can take you just about anywhere!

Must say there is an old expression "hunger is good kitchen".  

Good Luck

Answer 3

Well there are dollar menus at fast food joints.

Also I don't know if Ramen Noodles count.  All you do is add hot water.  You can get that at a convenience store.  

Protein Bars and potted meats

Answer 4

those noodle packages,some people eat them raw so there's an option,cereal,crackers,some type of fruit, trail mix etc. etc.

Answer 5

well when you get sick of peanut butter and jelly you can eat canned foods like chili and pasta (ravioli) right out of the can if its not freezing cold outside. they just taste better warmed up but they are fully cooked. then there are the tuna packs, singles of spam, chicken breast etc. Just explore the supermarket.
