Rice with eggs is a cheap and easy to make option as well. Throw some sirracha on it and you got a nice meal.

Where is my SuPER SUUIT?

Boxed mac and cheese, throw in some microwave steamable cauliflower or broccoli. Damn near gourmet and cheap (though not quite ramen-cheap).
TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
Aye, add Tuna or chopped-up frozen hamburger patties (off brand are like 5) for some protein. You can drain the fat through a collander
ThatGrrlOverThere
Eggs, rice, cheap bread, canned tomatoes, pasta, whatever spices fit in your pockets.

I have to buy text books and the associated access code for my class. HW due tomorrow, aid doesnt come in till next week. No clue what to do

The summer meal plan is to just starve
NewtonScamander
What's a meal plan?
cogs
The board part of "room & board". Prepaid dining at campus facilities. Mostly a US thing at residential campuses.

TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
I 'love' my schools meal plan, which is to FORCE ME TO PAY AN EXTRA $200 IN TUITION THAT GOES TO FUCKING CAMPUS FAST FOOD.
Rhisereld
Had the same problem on exchange. Fuck american universities. Then they leave you hanging with no oven/stove during summers. Yay.

Gift, second(third?) hand, some other reason. Just because it is posted from an iPhone does not mean the poster has money...
DespiseEveryone
I was poor growing up, part of that means not getting such expensive gifts, not even 2nd hand. I say chances are high the poser has money
DespiseEveryone
but spends it badly. Food as plenty of others have pointed out is not that expensive. 2nd hand iphones are still expensive.

Are you at that college
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
Fuck no
kidswat
The last meal plan I had in college was equivalent to $20/day so I think this is to your advantage
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
I'd rather do $20 a day than 45 a day, everything is marked way up around here
Andilee
Fuck that sucks. Oregon States is two choices 65 or 100 a week, but I'm commuting Summer so I'll be packing my lunches.
DigitalBang
It's time to explore the grocery store.
ficklebones
But if it's mom and dad's money or being covered by a loan then...
Molvanian
Assuming his parents are footing the bill. And a loan means he's paying even more, assuming he has enough in the loan.
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
No daddy money here, rip
ficklebones
Sorry @op
lawideas
You're at least 18. Learn how to buy food from a supermarket and some basic preparation skills. You'd be amazed how cheap food can be. (1)
lawideas
(2) Bag of rice, some eggs, Sriracha sauce, that's a bunch of dinners. Ramen, too, of course.
lawideas
(4) Breakfast? Hell, that's the cheapest. Eggs, butter, some of that lunch bread, maybe a gallon of OJ.
lawideas
(1) Bread, cheese, lunchmeat, mayo. That's a week, maybe more, of lunches for $15.
lawideas
(3) Get a chunk of meat, carrots, celery, potatoes, some beef stock, cook it for a long-ass time and you've got stew for a month.
lawideas
(5) Anyway, you get the idea. I was a broke-ass college student and discovering how to prepare food was like discovering gold.
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
I don't have access to a kitchen.....
lawideas
Damn you are broke. I recommend a plug-in hot plate and a pot. Worth the investment.
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
Again... not allowed, live with snitches
lawideas
Got a microwave?
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
Nah
Wyattcon11
Rice, frozen veg, and beans. Feed yourself for a week on 5 bucks
BenderBenderBender
If OP has a place to prepare it. I once lived in a dorm while taking summer classes. Makes it hard to prepare food and wash dishes.
Molvanian
Chicken leg quarters are ~80 cents a pound here. Need nothing more than a little salt and access to an oven.
Smi9
Potatoes as well!
ExtraordinAri
1. it's all about the sauces and spice. Mix it up. 2. don't forget potatoes.
ScottishPower
How does this work? Is there a recipe please
alexandersolzhenitsyn
Boil the rice, heat the veggies and beans and put them on top. Add some hot sauce if you feeling spicy.
ScottishPower
Ok thanks

Don't gotta eat if you're dead
theansweris3
You got it, my man!
ficklebones
Add in some hot sauce or a fried egg on occasion
somanywonders987
Frying eggs on campus is hard/impossible. Boiled, though
rfaslt2
Or add some milk whisk with a fork and microwave. Not the best but it works ok and is actually kind of fluffy eggs
LemanKingOfTheRuss
Toss a little cheese in there and salt and pepper to taste as well.
AtlasUnbound
Do what I do. Borrow hot plates from the chemistry department.

I used to use my iron, not like I actually used it on clothes in college

Not a terrible idea, but I'm an ed major

Befriend a Chem student?
thevortexmaster
There's ways to shop and eat well at an extremely low budget
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
thevortexmaster
Staples, cheap vegetables, organ meats (damn good I tell ya)
DikembeCookieMonsterMutombo
No fridge
thevortexmaster
Don't need one for staples. Rice, flour, chicken base, potatoes, many cheap hard vegetables last long without a fridge. Squash for example
Rafikidiki2323
There are several types of meats that are canned and aren't too bad or expensive. You can get chicken, salmon, and tuna just to name a few.
Rafikidiki2323
I've been were you are (kinda), I know it sucks but it's better than gorging on carbs that will only leave you hungrier.
