SOT: Sign of the times, the ramen packets cost $0.29 now. Didn't they used to go for 10 for a buck?!
Oh, it depends on whether you're talking about your basic ramen, your slightly fancier ramen, or your high-end ramen. That last could go for $1.50-$2/pack and comes in interesting flavors like kimchi and JjaJangMyun (Korean black noodles). It also has up to 3 different packets of 'stuff' to add.

Within 7 minutes walk I have ~50 cafes and restaurants so I've got a decent choice there

If I can't be bothered walking that far I have a supermarket, good butcher, deli and fruit and veg market within 2 minutes walk

If I can't be bothered cooking or walking I have a pub with great counter meals, indian, japanese, noodle shop and a couple of cafes within 1 minute walk

If I can't be bothered going out at all I always have some Indo Mie in the cupboard, 100 million SE Asian students can't be wrong.

If I had the ingredients at hand to make a BLT I'd consider myself well stocked with fresh food!

Peanut butter has been a favorite standby for years until very recently, when I started having allergic reactions to the stuff

But there's always some kind of pasta or rice, and usually some kind of sauce makings in the cupboard. And canned tuna, infinitely versatile.

Pasta with olive oil and parmesan cheese

Today's menu is Kirkland (Costco) walnuts & Trader Joe's Candied Ginger chunks. Both good on their own, but when chewed together... mmmm!

For me, it's usually ramen or rice with beans/salsa/other canned item forgotten in the back of the pantry.

I've always got some soup, crackers or such around. And then there are a couple of cans of tuna if I'm really desperate!
