Fried Bologna Egg & Cheese Sandwich for .39¢ - Eating on a Budget - The Wolfe Pit

[@davidgates851]

In my 20s, for about 3 months when I was inbetween jobs I ate one baked potato a day, if I was feeling extravagant I'd add half a tin of baked beans or make a cheap bolognese to go with it. If I got bored of that I would switch to making a my watery mac-mac soup (water, 1stock cube, macaroni, a tin of mackerel or sardines). Or the other cheap dish was rice with eggs different ways. Fried or hard boiled with drizzling of Maggi sauce, Or crispy omelette with ketchup. Good thing about eating like that was I lost a lot of weight. Not sure if it was healthy though.

Can I just say how much I appreciate that you don’t shame people who are living on a tight budget?? There are so many “five *healthy* meal ideas for under $5 per serving!!!” videos that assume A) people have enough to spend $5 per serving, B) that people have the time to prepare the often more labor intensive healthy meals, and C) that they have access to stores that stock a variety of fresh produce. This meal is quick, easy to prepare in bulk to save time later, and much more readily accessible in a food desert. Eating healthy is great, but getting food in your belly when you need it is great too.

[@Bvic3]

"Stores that stock a variety of fresh products" The US is really a weird place. The culture is so non existent that only industrial packaged food is considered normal for the poor. Everywhere else in the world, low cost supermarkets have fresh basic vegetables at a cheap price. And also super cheap fresh bread ... It all comes down to culture. When the poor don't buy fresh bread, low cost supermarkets can't sell fast enough to keep it fresh. It creates a feedback loop where the US poor are forced to eat garbage because all the US poor only know how to eat garbage.

Honestly, as a food lover being poor can be really disheartening coming out of school in debt, unable to find a job. But learning to enjoy simple, cheap meals is honestly a lifesaver. I'm Asian, so most of my cheap meals I ended up eating were just a bowl of rice with something cheap on top (chili oil, fried egg, dried shredded pork, et cetera) but that's something I didn't come to learn to appreciate until I realized how expensive just eating can be.

Much healthier than many cheap meals. Hope you have found a job now and able to enjoy cooking yourself some nice meals 🙂

[@grimjudgment6527]

I grew up poor so I watch these videos as a comfort thing as I still make meals like these to this day. The highlight of really spicing up cheap food is the amount of times you learn how to do it on your own. food lovers may be disheartened at first having to deal with the limited options, but it gets better once you learn to appreciate the freedom it gives you to experiment. One example is that my mother would make just plain ol' rice and the family wouldn't eat it all so I got the leftovers. So, I'd grab my pan, put it on the grill and fry it up with some soy sauce, garlic powder, egg and an Italian seasoning mix. It was worth saving up money for a bottle of sesame oil every month to do this as I'd turn a boring leftover into something my family fought over, which was 100% inspired by the very few times where my family had enough money to go to a hibachi grill on special occasions. (usually my grandparents paid the bill for it. They had money but not enough to pull my mother out of her crippling debt attained by her unending desire to rent out luxury electronics like a fool) Another simple, yet fine dish is to get some chili oil (or any oil) and just mix all purpose flour and water to make a flatbread to fry, then season it with onion salt and a touch of garlic powder. Hell, one classic thing I'd do sometimes is just use peanut butter by heating it up and combining it with a bit of honey and using it as a sauce to drizzle over instant ramen instead of using the flavor packets.

[@bunkerhillguy2542]

I am Asian too and learned that with some rice or oatmeal, you can put almost anything on top that you have to make a meal. A fried egg with even a packet of taco bell sauce instead of soy sauce can change the flavor. Green onions will continuously grow so just keep them in a glass of water and cut off the tops as you need them. If you do get meat, make soup with anything you have available. It's delicious and will stretch your Budget far.

In times like our current economic troubles it’s very important for people to learn how to cook wholesome meals on a budget. Processed foods aren’t the best for you but if you know what you’re doing you can feed your family nutritious meals for much less than you’d originally think. These sandwiches contain fats, carbs, and proteins, all of which are calorie rich and filling, in addition to being flavorful. I remember plenty of meals as a kid where my dad would fry some of these up for supper and we’d all have a nice time munching away.

Mr. WolfePit, I come by this channel every so often to peruse, and I especially love these cheap meal videos. I honestly feel you're doing such a good service for folks who can barely afford to live as everything around us just gets more expensive. My wife and I got married very young, and had a baby shortly after. This sort of info would have been invaluable for us at that time of our life. Too bad KZbin wouldn't come along for another few years then. 😜 But your channel was still 10 years out. I hope that those who really need it find your channel and your invaluable information. Even now that we have good jobs and a stable life, your recipes are a good source of inspiration. If disaster ever strikes us, I'm sure we'll at least be able to eat, with your channel to thank. Bless your Sir!

I've been penniless before, and I still never bought margarine. Honesty I'd rather go without than with fake. I like your lovely assistant's tats.

[@jonas189]

Despite what you read online, margarine is not plastic nor was it invented to fatten turkeys, it was invented in france during a butter shortage around 150 years ago as an alternative to butter and used beef tallow. If you read the modern ingredients on the side of the box they no longer have beef tallow in them, they are basically all made from whipped vegetable oil, there is nothing fake about it.

[@squirrelsarepeopletoo6678]

He used Imperial brand margarine, in my opinion it tastes just like butter and is much cheaper and marginally better for you. It's the only thing I buy and use.

[@planejet42]

I agree. Butter usually has a couple ingredients, such as cream and salt. Margarine is made up of a myriad of ingredients including vegetable oils

[@Daniel-ou4fb]

@@jonas189 I'm aware of all of that, perhaps you shouldn't make assumptions what other people know or where they get information. It is imitation butter, which makes it fake and inferior in taste and texture. It's still worth the price to use real butter

[@jonas189]

@@Daniel-ou4fb It's actually not imitation butter, it's a substitute which isn't quite the same thing, like when a vegan substitutes tofu for chicken, the tofu isn't a chicken imitation. Eat what you want though or go without, that's your decision.

[@C2yourself]

Chicken fried rice: cook 2cups rice in pot; chop up 2-3 lbs chicken (.99c a pound) and saute in oil, season with garlic, onion, pepper, ginger. Add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables $1 them scramble a few eggs .60c into mix. Once that's done add more oil/ fat to the pan and toss in the rice and fry 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and enjoy. Less than $6 for 8-10 people

Hi Larry I love this video. When I was a kid, yes we were poor. We always had food (Thank you MOM) but we ate every bit of it from paycheck to paycheck, plus food stamps. Not one can in the cupboard left! One thing we always had was bologna, bread, and cheese and eggs. We NEVER thought of putting all of this together. LOL. We definitely discovered fried bologna in our teen years and mom thought we were crazy, and we could not get enough of it. If we were hungry, mom would say "make a bologna sandwich" (Cold sandwich) which we said YUCK! Had we known though to put all of this together, it would have been heaven. Another fun fact about bologna in my family, is that every year we would take summer trips from California to Minnesota to see relatives. It would be a 5 day drive, no air conditioning, all the cats and dogs in the car, plus the kids. Can you guess what we ate for those 5 days?? Bologna sandwiches!!! Warm, no cheese, bologna sandwiches.

Fry and Mini omelette maker, flat side down for 90 secs. I like to put a little Worcestershire sauce before I flip. After flipping put two half cheese slices on each, offset . Beat four eggs and 1/3 of the drained can of Ro•Tel Divide the eggs mix over both hot dogs . Close the lid and cook for 5 mins Slice the remaining two hot dogs into coins Add 1/6 of the hot dog slicers to each omelette Close lid and cook for another 90 secs😂🎉 Repeat...makes 6 omelettes
