What can't you make for yourself under $4/meal is probably a better question. Sure it costs more than that to actually buy the stuff the first time but when you average out the cost per serving that includes a shit ton of meal options. Just avoid the pre-packaged processed crap that's not actually good for you that is marked up thousands of percent.
Consider chicken breast is $2.36/lb which makes a 4oz serving size only cost $0.59. Chicken thighs instead would cost half that.
A potato is around $0.33 each.
Serving of carrots around $0.20
Serving of lettuce is $0.15
Throw in $0.30 for a serving of seasonings/dressing and you're looking at a traditional american meal for $1.57.
Rice and beans man you can live on that for almost nothing.

Eating that sounds more depressing to me then soylent. You can live on rice and beans but it's not healthy to live on just that.

Well that's just an example. A stir fry would be even cheaper as would a number of other dishes. Then the savings under $4 each meal can be spent on steak and lobster on the weekend and still keep your average below it.

By a week, dude.:wub:
I fear the reference is lost on the younger members here:laugh:

Variety is the spice of life, and of eating. It's really cheap to eat real, home cooked food. Dat crock pot helps even more.
Why?

Yeah that's cool. I just can't remember the last time I've stuck to strict portion sizes for meals when made at home to make sure I don't eat more than 4 Oz's of chicken, etc. In theory I suppose you could have cheaper meals but at what cost? Bargain buying meat and measuring everything you cook? I'd rather pay a bit more for soylent, maybe mix in some fruit and know I'm getting everything I need without a doubt and not have to take time to cook daily

I mean...it takes awhile to get it, supposedly they just ramped up production 4 fold though so maybe it won't now :iono:
Even if you don't intend on eating just it as your source of food it works great as a meal replacement. You can make it as you use it so you don't waste any.
Me and the wife just normally make a full batch which is 4 meals and use it up in 2-3 days atm
