I have to agree with you on that one, OP. Ramen is great recession food.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Super-duper-crunchy Granola Bars.

And Flamin' Hot Cheetos if I can scavenge any, which I usually don't. ;___;

Awwww, you stole mine!
Well, second would have to go to hot dogs.

EDIT: I mean the OP, not the guy above me. Although his do sound pretty good...

Pancakes. A nice stack of pancakes. I love pancakes when I can afford kobe beef every night. I can spend 8 bucks and get 12 meals. It is like Ramen (which is number 2 on the list) but more flavorful.

In and Out Burgers.

One thing I miss about California...

Ramen can be accented with a variety of inexpensive foodstuffs to expand the variety of nutrient value of one's diet. The simplest that I enjoy involved cooking the noodles, draining the water, adding a can of tuna and seasoning to taste. The meal certainly sticks wtih you and depending upon the brand of tuna, can cost less than a dollar.

Spaghettios of course.

50 dollars feeds around 7 people at an all-you-eat-buffet!

I didn't need a recession to eat cheap. Garbage cake is the best cake ever.

 

[Iron Criterion]

Soylent Green. Though I am running out of flat mates...

Pasta with tomato sauce

Recession food? Isn't that just student food then?

Super noodle sandwiches ftw

This is either EXTREMELY insane, or EXTREMELY genius.

And hot dogs are very cheap and delicious.

I understand that ramen and various noodles are popular among my fellow Escapists.

My survival food of choice is the old fashioned Strawberry Studel, not Pop-Tart, but an actual fruit filled strudel.
