Meals that can be made for 33 cents or less!

Rules: 0. 33 cents was picked to aim towards that mythical $1 a day target!

  1. Posts should be about a dish/meal you personally made that cost less than 33 cents USD, OR a video of someone making it/reviewing it. Just want to avoid recipes being posted that no one has actually ever tasted.
  2. A meal should have at least 400 calories
  3. Meals should be replicable and not rely on crazy discounted items
  4. Feel free to post failures!
  5. No over reliance on bulk purchases. Requiring a single egg from a cartoon of 18 is fine, requiring a single egg from a cartoon of 64 bought from costco, less so.
  6. This is mostly a challenge on creativity and thinking outside normal cooking rules. Sometimes the result will be learning why a rule exists.
  7. Feel free to ignore calculating costs of oil to grease a pan, dash of salt, teaspoon of sugar, etc.

1 Cup Self rising flour (15 cents) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z7C6FVK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

1 Banana (15 cents)

Teaspoon of sugar (idk, 1 cent? 2?)

I blended a ripe banana in a cup of water, then mixed it into the self rising flour along with a bit of sugar.

Put in muffin pan with small amount of cooking spray.

Baked at 425 F for 13 minutes

4/10 plain, I would say a costco banana nut muffin is a 7/10. So obviously worse than any store bought banana muffin, but not offensive by any means. If I was craving muffins this would certainly count.

Hot with margarine and it was pretty good. I feel like cinnamon sugar butter would probably have gone well.
