Cost-of-living crisis fuels global appetite for instant ramen
Middle-class consumers around the world – including in countries with no tradition of eating noodles – are turning to instant ramen in droves

I’m about to move for work, without uprooting my wife and dogs, or sell the house. I’m going to live at the office during the week… sucks, but w/e. Ramen is going to be my life for the next year or two. I love cheap ass food like this. Give me some Kraft Mac and cheese mixed with some boiled broccoli and a can of pork and beans every now and then to mix it up.
If you are over the age of 39 I highly reccomend against this. There is really no possible way yo meet your caloric needs without massively overdosing on salt when depending on ramen and Mac and cheese.
It's honestly probably just as cost effective and slightly better for you to just buy a premade cold sandwich from the nearest bodega for at least one of your meals.
Are you gonna have access to a kitchen or will it mostly be like an instant kettle or microwave?
Pretty sure it’ll have some sort of kitchen, I’m going down for a week immediately after Thanksgiving to scope the place out. Shouldn’t start there fully until after the new year.
Please don't eat ramen and instant Mac for two years straight. Find your local soup kitchen and grab a meal there, volunteer if you feel bad about taking food. I guarantee you'll get a better meal and maybe feel better for it mentally.
Get some mixed dried vegetables. Turns the regular ramen packets into Cup-o-noodles, but cheaper and better.
I like cheap Hormel chili over drained, unseasoned noodles and vegetables.
