3 things to eat when you have just Rs 400 to Survive on for two days

How much money do you have to survive the next two days? You might have had 1000 or 2000 rupees yesterday, but now, all you can use are the few hundred rupee notes you might have withdrawn by chance, or withdrawn yesterday, by 12am, by lining up outside an ATM.

So the most extreme measure of cash you have close by must be 400 or less, and whatever you have in your ledger. The primary issue is, regardless of whether you choose to eat out today and tomorrow, you'll be spending more than you presumably expect to on nourishment. What number of cafés do you are aware of that can give you a chance to eat at reasonable costs?

Yes, you could go off to cheaper restaurants. But has the minimum bill there ever come to less than 300? Do you really have that amount to blow up on one meal?

These are just some of the issues that millennials like you and I will be facing today and tomorrow. We know that 'what to eat' is just one of the issues you'll be facing, but that's something we can help you figure out.


Really, you have so many options, and all of them within Rs.400. Check this out.

1. Home-Cooked Budget Meals

If you're one of those who have stocks of rice and pulses left unused at home (because you usually eat out), here's some good news. You practically don't need to spend any money buying food.

Just make some khichdi, or dal-chawal--they're easy, they're cheap, and they remind us of home. What's more, you could actually buy some potatoes to make bhujiya, or brinjal to make some baingan fry to go with it. You'll be able to have a proper balanced meal for less than a hundred bucks!

2. Roadside Delight

This is a good time to invest in your roadside dhaba for your meals. Whether it's those big egg-chicken rolls you can get for Rs.60, or the huge and pocket-friendly plates of chowmien, this is just the place where you can eat without worrying about losing out on too much money.

In fact, you could probably go for combo meals for Rs.150 or less at these places. Really, do you need to know more? No, you need to get out and get some chowmien-momo combo meals for lunch and dinner.

3. Breads & Eggs

If you're one of those who don't mind having breakfast for dinner, these two days will barely faze you or your spirit. All you need to survive is a packet or two of bread, some eggs, and voila!

You have meals within Rs.100! Make some French toast, simple bread omelette, or eggs on toast. And eggs are so versatile that you could have a different kind for every meal--boiled, half-fried, poached, scrambled, or (if you're a health freak) raw!

Keep Eating,

You Dimwit  :D
