    Anecdotal evidence, overheard at the local convenience store today:

    “Wow, everyone’s buying Cup-O-Noodles today. I’ve been eating it myself!”

    Ramen is delicious, but not cheap at all and definitely not good for you. If you truly want to talk about dirt cheap food, I don’t think anything can beat rice & soy sauce. If you want to splurge, add in some salted eggs. You can have a meal for around $0.25.

    Not all brands of rice are equal. It depends on the rice. I do agree with you about the cost of rice and soy sauce and unopened white rice has a very long shelf life.

    You’re right, not all brands of rice are equal. However, they range between $30-40 for a 50 lb bag. One of those 50 lb bag can easily feed 2 people for at least 1/2 a year. 2 bottle of soy sauce can feed you about 1/2 a year. So, total cost for food for a a year would be ~$100. That’s what you call depression cooking :-).
