[quote=Anonymous]Safeway and Giant often sell their (very tasty) whole rotisserie chickens for $5 each.  You could make several nice meals out of one:

1st day--serve the chicken hot with a side of instant mashed potatoes made in the microwave.  You can get a box of Betty Crocker Potato Buds for just a few bucks.  Or a side of canned corn instead, if you prefer.

2nd day--serve it cold in a salad or with sliced fresh veggies on the side (carrots, tomatoes, or cucumbers)

3rd day--make sandwiches or wraps with the chicken and some cheese and salsa.  Cheese and salsa can be used in some of the other recipes suggested by PPs, so they don't tax your budget as much to buy a big container and use over a few weeks.

For dessert, apples (buy the big bag, if you are living in a basement apt. it should be cool enough for them to last awhile) or plain yogurt (sold in large container) with some honey.  Not expensive and stretches over many days and has a lot of protein and calcium.

I think it is TOTALLY feasible for you to feed yourself and your child on the $50/week budget and with your limited cooking facilities.  You can do it![/quote]
