Aaarg surprise!!!
Dec 10th, 2011 10:28 PM
MattJack I use to make something called the Ramen Surprise.

Here is what you do:

Keep your ramen in the fridge (makes you feel like it is real food). When you are hungry go to your fridge, close your eyes, and randomly pick a package of ramen (random flavor). Set it on the counter and then close your eyes again. Select two to three other items (anything goes). Go ahead and boil it all up, put it in a bowl, and allow it to cool at the kitchen table. While it cools go ahead and grab a shotgun, sit at the table, position your toe on the trigger, and put the barrel under your chin.

Kitsa Also, not on the level of extreme couponers but my last trip I saved $88 on groceries. Just be normal about it...no fifty carts, no dumpster diving for coupons, just get stuff you use or need. There are coupon clipping services where you buy $1 off coupons for like 8 cents ea and then you don't even have to get a newspaper.

I promise it won't make you grow lady parts.

Kitsa I've gotten rotisserie chickens for ~$6 and uncooked roaster chickens for ~$4 here. Life is cheap

Zhukov A chicken from the supermarket costs $9.98 here. I know this because they advertise everywhere "Why pay $10 for a chicken?!".


Massive savings all round.

Evil Robot II LOL a chicken in manhattan cost about $30

kahljorn what i used to do is go to vons and wait tillthe cross rib roasts went on sale for about 5 bucks or so. pick one of those up, STEAM IT with a small amount of water at the bottom. you can brown some onions in the pan before you add the water. Anyway, you end up with shredded beef after a couple of hours.

you can use the shredded beef as a roast and make some potatoes and shit. you can use the broth for gravy. Then the next night you can flavor it a bit and use it in tacos/burritos/enchiladas. you can also fry it up and use it for breakfast.
shits good and lasts for a few days

ThrashO my favorite is when they have a rack of discount fruit up at 2 am and it's pretty much just a bag of brown slop

I love cooking chicken on a charcoal grill, plus when you're poor it's a good way to relax. The place I've been living at for the past two years though doesn't allow any grills, but there are public ones set up that you can use if you really like diseases

oh yeah, there's a market near here too that has all meat half off after 8 pm

it's really really really easy to cook pretty much anything in a foreman grill or outdoor grill. chicken is also easy to cook in a pot of boiling water. it tastes best in the oven imo and that isn't terribly difficult either.

They were probably stolen by Barney Rubble.

Aaarg the summer before last the house next to ours was vacant and up on the hill there was a bunch of wild strawberry and my girlfriend and i (and our dog) would just wander around eating little strawberries and it was awesome but then this last summer some people had moved in and we didn't want them to ask us what we were doing

also there were some blackberry bushes but the birds always beat me to them.

also if you go on the blue ridge parkway in the summer you'll often find cars on the side of the road and then catch some old people with buckets jerks

fuck i love berries i want berries yum yum berry yum

ThrashO my grandparents in Florida had coconut tree's around their neighborhood when I was a kid, when I finally cracked one open it was rotten as hell.

I found this out by stabbing it and drinking the sour milk

although in the neighborhood i lived in a lot of people had fruit trees and they would put signs up that say, "Free fruit, take the shit" cause they didn't want it to waste/be all over their lawn.
That sounds awesome, only thing that ever grew around my house growing up was shitty crab apple trees
