What do poor people eat on charity advertising?

Well, the objective is to get numerous donations of $3.65 to compound and then feed as many as possible with the end total of collected donations.
Nobody in the entire world could eat on $3.65 a month unless they were eating nothing but grass and dirt with 5 lbs. of rice rationed out. haha

@Coloma Thanks… I was wondering. GA. Its buying in bulk.

$3.65 is doable or at least it was in 1996. I’m pretty sure I did that in college at least once. My room mate and I ran out of cash and lived on a 50lb bag of potatoes for about a month. It was about seven bucks between us then. I bet it takes $20 to get that bag now.

Learn some dandelion recipes.

Or if you’re in someplace with a huge food surplus like a relatively wealthy American city, one could find the free food that’s being thrown out. e.g. dumpster dive.

Super-cheap diets tend to be low-nutrition. But some people eat very well for free by dumpster diving etc.

@ARE_you_kidding_me In my college days in the early 80’s it was “Mac-weenies and cheese.”
Big casserole of mac-n-cheese with cheap hot dogs cut up in it and lots of cheapo beer.
I could feed like 4 or 5 friends on my macweenie casserole. haha
Drink enough Lucky Lager it was damn near gourmet. LOL

Ramen, cheap, good and zero nutrition.

Hey that is not true. It gives you at least carbohydrates, some fats, and salt.

Before I’d even heard of food stamps we were going broke. I spent my last $1.00 on 3 large potatoes. When I cut into them I found they were rotten inside. I went to my room, shut the door and just sobbed into a pillow.
Then took them back to the store and raised more hell than was needed, I’m sure. I was just so….lost.

Remember the Great Potato Famine? People in Ireland were starving to death when all the potato crops failed.
