inaugural post

hello. i don't have anything clever to say to start this blog. i, like many people, am poor. also like many people, i enjoy food. combining these two facts can sometimes be fun.

with this blog, i hope to chronicle my forays into cheap eating. the majority of the things i eat (in addition to being cheap or free) also involve simple prep-work, as i am no chef. i love nothing more than buying a shitty, cheap frozen entree that is disguised as high- or even medium-class cuisine and eating the living shit out of it.

obviously, i'm not very good at writing, so the real showcase here is the food. enjoy, and thanks for stopping by.

also, for reference: "daily price" is price it would cost if you were to "live on" the food in question. i take the price and divide it by calories of the product and multiply by 2,000 (the daily recommended amount of calories for an adult human).

EDITED, MUCH LATER:
i probably should've put this in the first post, but here's a few guidelines that we abide by for this blog:

-the food should be cheap
-the food should be kinda easy to cook
-we must follow the cooking instructions printed on the box
-we must consume the entire thing in one sitting

at any point, we can break any of these rules. for example, i don't think it's going to be physically possible to eat the whole box of "cheese club macaroni and cheese" (which utilizes a pouch of gooey, disgusting cheese that you just pour on top of the cooked macaroni).

anyway, those are the 'rules'.
