With 100 usd a person could eat well enough in a month to never feel hunger as anything but a distant sensation. Pasta, rice and beans are what I would consider poor people food. Ramen is poor common sense food. Hell you could even have meat once a week on that budget.

Grocery stores have "thrift" sections of dented cans, almost out of date ground beef, etc. Like $2/lb ground beef.

When I was unemployed I ate two meals per day - half of a hamburger helper for lunch/dinner and eggs/bacon(pieces/bits) for breakfast. The bacon pieces/bits are not easy to fry up but they are nutrition.

That's an interesting way of looking at the discount food. I just find it to be prudent planning on the meat as you can freeze it. They really still sell dented cans at discount there? I stopped noticing that in the 90s, everywhere I have been keeps the dented ones on the shelf at regular price. Next time you go to the store look at the price of bacon bits per ounce, I am almost positive it is more expensive than uncooked bacon.

no, not bacon bits like for salad, there is a product called "bits & pieces" that's the shitty parts of the bacon process but it's still bacon just not strips. About 1/2 of what bacon costs per oz.

Yeah some grocery stores have the discount shelves back by the stockroom doors... the meat is still in the meat cooler.
