I need to go grocery shopping on a very tight budget.?

Question

I only have 9 dollars and I need to go to the grocery store. I am out of groceries and I will not get paid until 6 days from now. I do not know what to do. Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

ouch... sounds like you'll be on the ramen diet until you get paid

Answer 2

well try to use what you have, like canned goods and things. Also buy foods that are fillers, like rice and potatoes. You can make a lot of different things with potatoes, and vegetables. see if you have anything in your cupboard to make casseroles or anything like that.

try to find recipes and plan out meals before you go shopping, that way you will know exactly what you need. Also try to find coupons for anything you can. Buy foods that you have to make (not just heat up) you pay for the convenience, so just spend a little extra time in the kitchen to save more money and really stretch your food and dollars.

Here are some websites I have found helpful.

Cooks.com        for recipes

coupons.com     for coupons that you can print out!

Hope I helped a little.

Answer 3

9 tacos for 9 dollars, that's a taco and a half a day.  

Answer 4

Daily meals.

Breakfast: Toast

Lunch: Beans

Tea: Veg and bread/chicken breast.

Supper: Bread and butter.

You can buy brean beans veg. Drink only water. Look in your freezer for frozen goods. You will survive a few days on a basic diet.
