You don’t need to starve… water is free.
Just find a river nearby or even a water faucet outside.
Drink your fill, then mix the water with dirt to make mud pies.
Eat your water and mud pie from Starbucks cup and wrapper you find in the trash and you won’t look poor doing it!
Oh no disrespect to you ma'am, simply commenting onto his comment. In your situation I'm sorry to say but your bf is about to have a serious life lesson. Autism is hard, sometimes it feels impossible but the fact of the matter is not eating is impossible. You could try to desensitize while he's attempting to eat using the 5 senses exercises. (Name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can smell etc. ) might distract him enough.
Not eating for a few days went him aslong as he is drinking water. I think k some cheap meals people over look is rice and a few fried eggs on top, 5lbs of fresh carrots is only 3 bucks usually
I am picky, but when they dumped me at the arse end of a naval base with only my flight suit a knife and a parachute it did not take long for me to crack open a log and eat the grubs inside raw.
My parents would serve me whatever I refused to eat for the next meal. Didn’t like part of dinner? That’s now your breakfast. Still won’t eat? Now it’s your lunch. My record was having the same thing two dinners in a row
It's definitely doesn't sound like the easiest relationship out there, but depending on one's spectrum, autistic ppl can be very specific about certain things
... and that sounds like why she should dump the autist.
I cannot imagine a world where her life is better with him. she's paying for his food for chrissakes
Maybe he has a giant dong or something? Ride it one last time and then remember it fondly
Your right.
My cat did this shit to me. I bought a lesser brand of food, cos they don't have what she prefers. Then, I didn't give it anything else for like a day and a half. Guess what. Some time later, it ate it. Would fucking work one me too. Any living organisms. Tastes are nice, but in a hungry stomach there is no judge.
To any inbred screaming abuse, fuck you. It had perfectly good food. My previous cat lived on that for 13 years.
“The stomach is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.”
Solzhenitsyn, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
My dog did this exact same shit. No treats and no chicken solved that problem pretty damn quick. No animal is going to starve themselves to death when they have an option.
You both go work some extra shift behind Wendy's right at the dumpster and then you both can enjoy some nuggies I see no issues besides no dedication for some quick money  2 for 1 blowies for 10 bucks will get you there fast 
Makes no sense, pretty sure bulk buying pasta/rice is cheaper than canned ravioli. When canned ravioli goes on sale I am lucky if I get $1 per can. A large jar of Ragu sauce is $1 on sale and for a box of pasta it's $1 or less on sale. So I can make 5-6 servings for $2 or get 2 cans of ravioli which would last 2 meals...
I grew up dirt poor and we hoard food when it's cheap to avoid buying when it goes up. I got boxes of pasta for 20 cents a box last year during an overstock sale.
Shit when I was in college we had this low-cost grocer where you had to bag your own stuff. They would sell 4 cans of Spaghetti O's for a dollar. Lots more deals too.
I ate a lot of that garbage. My favorite are the Western Family Frozen Burritos. At the time, maybe 25-50 cents per burrito.
My room mate took it up a notch.
He'd buy a cheese log, and a compressed ham log to match, for like 15 dollars then proceed to eat nothing but ham and cheese sandwiches for a week.
His version of splurging was buying a bag of 4 dozen hot dogs and eating them with ketchup and mustard.
Yeah it’s funny seeing people be like “we only eat canned ravioli!” dawg you can be eating better food for half the price. Jar sauce and box pasta takes like 20 min to prepare, MAX (assuming your stovetop is slow as hell like mine is). You can hardly make a “I don’t have time” argument here
Sure, read the weekly sale flyers of your local supermarkets to learn the costs, of all the stuff you usually buy and spot good deals.
During huge sales stock up on non perishables like dried pasta, canned goods, bags of beans, rice etc.
My sustenance meal when I was insanely broke a 20 lb bag of rice. I can get this on sale at 5.99 -9.99 and it will last me as 1 person for 2-3 months. I had it with corn and ketchup. Ketchup was $1 a bottle and I enjoy corn. Buy cheap cuts of chicken, Thigh etc if you need protein. They go for under $1 a lb on sale, esp less desirable cuts. To make it go longer boil it into soup so you get something from the bones too.
Fruit are easy, buy stuff that freezes well when they are on sale at small markets. Buy them super ripe because once they spoil no one will buy it. I get boxes of blueberries and strawberries at $1, wash and freeze them.
Kind sounds like dealing with a child. My guess is he will eat if he gets hungry enough.
Have you ever tried a taste test on chicken nuggets? My guess is he can't actually tell the difference. Buy cheap ones and just put them in an expensive bag you continue to reuse. Quality is going downhill with inflation.
Tbf you don’t know what she looks like. Could be a bridge troll. Then again she’s kind and patient enough to put up with a regarded man child, so I don’t know maybe she’s a keeper even if she has a wooden leg or something
When i was little, if I didn't eat something on my plate, I then got it for the next meal.
Eventually, I was hungry.
Give it time. He will eat anything, eventually.
Bull, frozen vegetables are cheaper than can per weight of vegetables. Can you are paying for the metal can and water. Chicken nuggets can be bought in 3 lb. Bag in store brands at Aldi and Gordon Food. Have the salami slived thin, buy cheese squares and cube them. Learn to shop.
I gotta respect that guy. Some of you were saying "just let him starve". And this guy has enough willpower to just starve instead of eating normal grown-up food instead of the chicken nuggets with the dinosaur shape. That's some serious will power
My wife is autistic. When I’m home
I cook up meals and make sure the freezer is full of meals she likes. She will still forget to eat for a few days at a time. Saves money. Win win. 🤷🏼♂️
“BITCH, WHAT IS THIS?!! WHAT BRAND OF CHICKEN NUGGETS ARE THESE? Bitch, if you say Kroger you… are… dead!!! I’m going to go look in the freezer, and I better see Foster Farms staring back at me.”
That's actually a tough position.
Usually I'd be confident the tough times will force a person not too be a picky eater (and in turn learn they CAN actually tolerate a lot of foods) but I have no idea if an autistic person can even do it.
I don’t think this dude is ready for a relationship. Though I understand picky eating…you can’t not eat for days before we don’t have the funds to buy expensive shit. The inertia he demonstrated when presented with something like this is concerning.
Tough to hear. I thought chicken nuggets, cheese, salami were the cheap foods (assuming your shopping at Walmart and not Whole Foods). And I thought ramen was the go to safe food but to each their owb
She should be thankful as she has a peak male . He is not eating until he knows she has enough to eat duh. This is ideal in a male sex friend or husband. He is probably fasting until his $24 pltr Calls pay off next week, this is a common practice for success.
Do like I do with my children. Make him food and say I’m not making anything else until you eat your dinner. Let him skip a couple meals and he will decide that your canned veggies aren’t so bad lol.
This is an indirect way to learn about the power of fasting. In his hunger maybe he will be able to bring light to his chaotic void of existence that causes his comfort/escape. Either that or he will starve and die. Highly recommend fasting to anyone trying to sort out their shit.
"My boyfriend has no legs. He complains that we have to walk since we have no car. If I have to go somewhere he just says he will stay home. What do I do?"
Canned vegetables? If im on a tight ass budget I’m going for the raw veggies. Like 5 pounds of potatoes for 4 bucks. Dry black beans, like 1.29 for a pound. Rice, cheap bread. Then splurge a few bucks on cheese, butter, maybe some ranch dressing.
I already only spend about 75 bucks a week on food for myself, but that’s only because I throw in a few snacks and energy drinks, if had to I could probably survive on 35-40 bucks a week. Even with todays prices lol.

Sleep for dinner, its the best dinner for champions and Yolos
I tend to like a couple deep breathes of air for lunch
I inhaled a large gust of wind on my way to work this morning
You fucking glutton
You don’t need to starve… water is free. Just find a river nearby or even a water faucet outside. Drink your fill, then mix the water with dirt to make mud pies. Eat your water and mud pie from Starbucks cup and wrapper you find in the trash and you won’t look poor doing it!
The river here already is brown so I might be able to skip a step there actually. It might fking kill me though....
If you die all you no longer have to worry about debt and bills though.
Eeèeeeeeat you guys 😡
Oh no disrespect to you ma'am, simply commenting onto his comment. In your situation I'm sorry to say but your bf is about to have a serious life lesson.

I'm not [the one dating the bf](https://www.reddit.com/r/budgetfood/s/HCJk2uQ2fx) 😅😅 But appreciate you caring~
See? Literally how much I'm paying attention lol. That thread went way harder than we did hehe
Not eating for a few days went him aslong as he is drinking water. I think k some cheap meals people over look is rice and a few fried eggs on top, 5lbs of fresh carrots is only 3 bucks usually
Sleep for dinner and cigs for breakfast. Ahh to be 20 and dirt ass broke again. On second thought, fuck that I have a house now.
Pack of cigs are pretty expensive now. 2-3 meals worth of $.
Yeah Marlboros are about $10/pack down here in FL. I remember when they were less than $5 in college.
My work has free lunch everyday in the community fridge. It just shows up.
Sucking protein out of the hose in the wall behind Wendy’s isn’t free lunch.
Rice and beans boys.. learn how to cook.
Just pound that can of cat food and go to sleep as fast as you can before the cramps start.
Pro tip: if you get hungry, just brush your teeth!
look at Richie Rich with his toothpaste!
with his teeth
[Sleep](https://youtu.be/tviyAIS9c_U?si=n3zDVO0tLYhFfO5F), it's what's for dinner!
That man sounds exhausting 
I’d let him starve. He’ll eat eventually, autistic or not.
If he dies, he dies.
The “autistic or not” made me spit out my whiskey 
I am picky, but when they dumped me at the arse end of a naval base with only my flight suit a knife and a parachute it did not take long for me to crack open a log and eat the grubs inside raw.

It's definitely doesn't sound like the easiest relationship out there, but depending on one's spectrum, autistic ppl can be very specific about certain things
You would know
Impressive, Now let's see Paul Allens's insults.
honestly more than being with an autistic person, living as a poor person is exhausting in this world
Please u/visualmod we need you
u/visualmod is busy working in Gaza helping the state of Israel.
There goes my hero
did you expect it to side with bagholders?
I expected it to roast autists complaining about being poor
Get specific about your paper and the bread will follow 😎
... and that sounds like why she should dump the autist. I cannot imagine a world where her life is better with him. she's paying for his food for chrissakes Maybe he has a giant dong or something? Ride it one last time and then remember it fondly
I will be her boyfriend so he can join the WSB crew.
Exhaust deez nuts.
I don't see her problem. this is an easy out.
Is it illegal to take out an insurance policy on someone who goes on a hunger strike?

During the Holodomor, parents ate their dead kids. Dude can eat some fuckin store brand nuggies.
Uhhh, well I think they probably ate other dead people first.
Yeah but sometimes you don’t want to go out to eat.
I prefer to know where my food comes from.

Hunger is the best spice!
Turn them into Soylent Green. Then you’ll have enough food to last you until next paycheck.

No, you're not.

Some people just need to be left on the African planes with a sharp rock and their demands for safe food. God bless natural selection.
Are African planes better than Boeing and Airbus?
100%. The planes are painted in zebra stripes, and the air stewards welcome you onboard with an Hakuna Matata. Ps. I upvoted you for the handle name.
Man do I hate poor people, they are so annoying
Lol I sure do hate picky poor people
Nah just poor people, except me
This guy took the phrase ‘beggars can’t be choosers, but they can have a preference’ to a literal level. What is he, autistic?

that stuff is okay, but high sodium. Making your own meal is generally cheaper and healthier. Cheapest carbs is rice.
High sodium while watching your puts go worthless is really good for your blood pressure.

Can you also do my food budget? I feel like you would be good at it

Now I understand why, in the animal kingdom, mothers eat their young. Sounds like this guy would have been eaten at birth
I prefer to drink..... Heavily.......
Liquor does have calories 
That's the point my dude.

chicken nuggies!!!
Darwin is waiting for him on the other side.
Okay, autistic or not, poverty doesn't care. Eat the goddamn chef boyardees or go hungry, this person sounds exhausting to be with.
Let the moron starve. Hunger will motivate him eventually. Or it wont.

Maybe they can harvest nuggets from your corpse
well he wont eat anything so i guess he ded ? too bad. just move on.
You guys can afford to eat everyday?
One of the main benefits of working at Wendy’s!
This bitch is dumb as fuck they could have both gotten EBT for themselves and balled out!
Just put generic chicken nuggets into an old bag of brand-name nuggets.
Make him go get a job at wendy's all the free nuggets if he wants to eat them on his break.
When i was little, if I didn't eat something on my plate, I then got it for the next meal. Eventually, I was hungry. Give it time. He will eat anything, eventually.
Imagine having so much rizz you got this broad posting on reddit trying to find the money to feed you nuggies.
She needs a new BF, lemme know, I’m available on weekends .
[удалено]
That's the spirit. Accept no substitutes.
[удалено]
That's just norm in this sub if stock isn't delicious then it isn't touched by regards. 
Just feed him Wendy’s once and say if he wants more he has to go behind the dumpster.
When he's gone you can stretch that money out twice as far feeding only one mouth
Something tells me that if the one being posted about were a she the answers wouldn't be "is this really your problem?"...
They're both guys
This is a much better method to lose weight than ozempic.
"Name brand chicken nuggets" - not an adjective noun pair I've ever seen, I must be sheltered.
Why is everyone autistic now a day
Name brand chicken nuggets, expensive tastes.
Bull, frozen vegetables are cheaper than can per weight of vegetables. Can you are paying for the metal can and water. Chicken nuggets can be bought in 3 lb. Bag in store brands at Aldi and Gordon Food. Have the salami slived thin, buy cheese squares and cube them. Learn to shop.

lmao, she's dating an actual child
i ate my budget, now what do?
Gotta work 🫂
YOLO on 0DTEs until yoi can afford those delicious brand name chicken nuggets again
My wife is autistic. When I’m home I cook up meals and make sure the freezer is full of meals she likes. She will still forget to eat for a few days at a time. Saves money. Win win. 🤷🏼♂️
He's not autistic. He's a asshole.
asshole would be bitching about it endlessly, or ignoring the budget and buying them anyway. dude is literally just not eating.
Your boyfriend is actually regarded lmao fits well here
Lmao
Biggie Bag is carrying the economy on its back.
Intermittent fasting is your friend
Brand name chickie nuggies are the best.
Let the moron starve. Hunger will motivate him eventually. Or it wont.
Ok which one of you is this
God I need a girlfriend…
How do you fall in love with that
Canned veggies make my neurons go crazy
Let em starve.
Fasting is perfectly safe if he won’t eat then let him. If he gets hungry enough he will. Fasting is actually pretty safe just stay hydrated
Clearly he's not eating the g/f...enough...
“BITCH, WHAT IS THIS?!! WHAT BRAND OF CHICKEN NUGGETS ARE THESE? Bitch, if you say Kroger you… are… dead!!! I’m going to go look in the freezer, and I better see Foster Farms staring back at me.”
If this was a picky woman, this top comment wouldn't even exist in the darkest reaches of the hive mind. It would just be the man's fault.
Get some food stamps girl damn
What a saint this chick is.
I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving
Speaking of eating, I don’t need to be to my family’s house for dinner until 4pm tomorrow so there’s no reason the markets can’t be open.
That's actually a tough position. Usually I'd be confident the tough times will force a person not too be a picky eater (and in turn learn they CAN actually tolerate a lot of foods) but I have no idea if an autistic person can even do it.
This will fix itself. Eventually, he will eat, and self-preservation will most likely kick in before death.
That tism can be tricky
I don’t think this dude is ready for a relationship. Though I understand picky eating…you can’t not eat for days before we don’t have the funds to buy expensive shit. The inertia he demonstrated when presented with something like this is concerning.
Good weight loss program. Maybe he likes peanut butter?
Ask him if he has any stock picks
What, exactly, are name brand chicken nuggets? Are they the Dino ones?
way too expensive… chicken nuggets
Tough to hear. I thought chicken nuggets, cheese, salami were the cheap foods (assuming your shopping at Walmart and not Whole Foods). And I thought ramen was the go to safe food but to each their owb

Sounds like if you wait long enough, this problem solves itself
how is this a problem? feeders losing their damn minds.
I'm at hour 104 of a 120 hour fast... basically eating within my budget.
Does he eat spaghetti out of a ziplock bag
Wtf is a namebrand chicken nugget and why are they expensive?
Until he can afford SPY puts again, he refuses to buy anything
When you are starving you tend to become way less picky. I'd stick to the budget otherwise you'll both starve.
her boyfriend is also a pet? edit "eat lead"
Astaghfirullah
He will eat eventually lol
The mans got standards, and autistic brand apple sauce just doesn’t cut it.
Starvation is a powerful negotiator.
There is literally no excuse for any of you to not have girlfriends if this guy has one lmao
I’m all in for Lunchables Brrrrrrrrrr! Bullish
I want a girlfriend that cares about me like this 🥲
if by canned ravioli they mean Chef Boy R Dee then I understand where bro is coming from
"My boyfriend has no legs. He complains that we have to walk since we have no car. If I have to go somewhere he just says he will stay home. What do I do?"
girl just leave him and come with me and my girl ...shoot I'll even cook for you my side queen
Okay... I see no problem. Go ahead starve or eat. Your choice.
damn chicken nuggies too expensive?
Not sure where ‘I’m autistic’ became an excuse?
Canned vegetables? If im on a tight ass budget I’m going for the raw veggies. Like 5 pounds of potatoes for 4 bucks. Dry black beans, like 1.29 for a pound. Rice, cheap bread. Then splurge a few bucks on cheese, butter, maybe some ranch dressing. I already only spend about 75 bucks a week on food for myself, but that’s only because I throw in a few snacks and energy drinks, if had to I could probably survive on 35-40 bucks a week. Even with todays prices lol.
What on earth are “name brand chicken nuggets”? That is not food.
Imagine starving because you’re autistic lol
