I was wondering if you only had very little money to survive with, what cheap groceries would you buy in America?

    dry popcorn, potatoes, bulk rice, dried beans, onions, garlic, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, chili powder

    rice and beans will get you the full range of necessary proteins and the rest will fill you up

    I was surviving like this on 50¢ a day back in 2009. Lunch was always popcorn.

    Of course, now I know how to use food banks, and with food banks you can get greater variety (and some fruit for vitamin C) for even cheaper.
