Pooka has a great thread called "Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor" that you might find some info in. I'm with you, no money, but I started when I was reading Pooka's thread and saved up mostly meat. Now that meat is really pricey, I'm glad I did.

I have 3 cheap freezers (used) and I have a pressure canner and canned a lot of that meat. I'm glad I got the food because I can't afford the high prices any more.

Some people say get beans and rice, and that will make a whole protein, but if you are used to having meat, you'll not be very satisfied with beans and rice day after day.

One thing you can do is go to your local United Way and get some USDA government surplus pantry items and if they have it, meat. The grocery stores when meat is getting close to the end date will throw it in the freezer, give it to United Way and the store can write off their donation.

If you are truly out of money, that is what I'd do. I may have to do that myself if my food storage runs out.

All the other prices are going up too, electricity, internet service. We have over the air tv, so we gave up that expense long ago. You might be able to see where you can cut an expense. We will keep our internet as long as we can, but that may need to go as well.
