We all know the feeling — We just get out of the shower and receive a text from our best friend, “Let’s go out to eat tonight!”
“Sure!” we respond as we check our bank accounts. Oooph. “Actually, I have a ton of homework to catch up on…”
If you’re like me and are maxing on a budget of $12 to spend a week, you’ve got to find some alternatives to save you from starvation. Luckily, “mi grocery list es su grocery list.” You’re welcome.

- Literally any kind of Ramen
Averaging on a cost of 15 cents a package, these goodies are both cheap and easy to make.
- Mac and Cheese
Kraft does it best, and also quick to make.
- Granola Bars
A solid grab-on-the-go breakfast snack, for when you wake up a couple 20 minutes after
the alarm.
- Bagel Bites
What Pizza Hut? No need for Dominos!
- Bread with Peanut Butter/Jam
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a classic combo and can serve meals for
weeks. But don’t stop there, grab some ham/turkey and some cheese while you’re at it!
- Instant Oatmeal
It’s all in the name, and all you need is water/milk! Yes, please.
- Fruit
Both healthy and easily accessible, fruits are a perfect supplement to any meal.
