Answer 3

Answer 4

hahaha ramen is like 30 cents a pack

Answer 5

Do a deal with your "Chippie", 13 pieces of fish with a heap of chips fro $30.  

Answer 6

I've made dinner for a group  of about 10 people for under $30...but I'm not sure about buying it at a fast food restaurant...though it probably can be done.   I know that you do not want to cook...but what about just heating something in your stove/microwave?  I read one suggestion which was a stouffers meal and I would look on line for any coupons for lasagna/pasta, etc meal (family size) and buy two this should be under $20...Then maybe some french bread.  You might ask one or two of the group of 13 if they would bring a side dish...green salad or desert or even some litters of soft drinks and you should have a nice meal.    

Answer 7

chik fil a is really expensive.  May I suggest some Stouffer's family sized entrees...like lasagne, chicken fettuccini, and mac and cheese, they are all really good, stouffer's is the best.  Or, you can get some bags of frozen favioli and jarred marinara, or instead just butter and garlic.  If you wanna cook just a bit,  a big batch of buscuits and gravy would be cheap, and you could use the packet gravy mixes they are really good I promise, and then just add some sausage.  

Answer 8

White castle if you have one near ya, otherwise Subway should have a deal within your budget.

Answer 9

DOLLAR MENU AT MCDONALD'S!

YUMMMY.

:)

Answer 10

Get 2 or 3 fresh roasted whole chickens.  If you get them late in the afternoon at Walmart Neighborhood Market, they mark them down half-price.... Coleslaw or green salad... baked potatoes or a couple of packages of Rice-a-Roni ....  cookies / ice cream / popsicles / jello

Answer 11

Buy two Stouffer's (or store brand) frozen lasagnas, a huge bag of mixed salad, a bottle if Italian dressing, and store-baked cookies (day old are cheaper) for dessert.  Check the day-old rack for garlic or french bread, too.  Once it's warmed up, no one will know.

Answer 12

Why don't you try Pizza Hut's 555 deal? They do that all year long. I believe you purchase the first pie for the regular price and the rest is just $5 each. They are also serving those past trays. I believe each tray serves 4-5 people and it's about $12. I was on a very strict budget when my mother traveled overseas and I had to take care of my siblings. I went to the supermarket, purchased a big bag of potatoes, some ground beef, and veggies and made a huge tray of sheperd's pie. You just have to take a stroll down the isles of the market and you get ideas. You should try the Pizza Hut idea, since you originally wanted pizza and don't want to cook. Good luck

Answer 13

Spaghetti goes a long way. Add garlic bread and it can fill you up fast. We can get a good deal at LaGondola but don't know if everyplace has that. If you want to save some money, heat up a jar of sauce and cook the noodles yourself. Also you could go with brownies for dessert. Anything cake-like will help fill people up.

Another fairly cheap thing to serve are Sloppy Joes. Hit the day old bread store for cheaper buns and for cheaper desserts (ie Zebra cakes or Hostess cupcakes.)
