I was wondering if you only had very little money to survive with, what cheap groceries would you buy in America?

Mashed potatoes is my thickener of choice. Add it to any soup/chili recipe to make you feel full without spending a lot.

Are you referring to the boxed mashed potato mix or real mashed potatoes? I could see either working so I wanted to double check

Either one. Boxed is faster but real tastes better
