Hmm. This is turning into a "what's for lunch on a tight budget"
threads. I've got a box of pasta (veggy enriched), a box of instant
mashed potatoes, a bag of rice and packets of salmon mush. Oh, olive
oil and good spices. I can microwave up a nice meal here at the office
for under a dollar. Last night, I did splurge. I bought a jar of
olives and a small brick of extra sharp aged chedder cheese.

When times were REALLY tight, I was trying to keep my lunch costs down
below 50 cents. Beans and rice will do it. A two-pound bag of
slow-cook rice costs almost nothing. Now that we're living high, I
don't do much Ramen anymore. But, when it came to the seasoning
packet, I only used a quarter or so of it anyway.

The best thing for Ramen noodles, that I've found, is to throw it in
with stir fry.
