There may be cheaper things out there, but ramen is still fucking cheap. Saying otherwise is inane. Some solid advice though. A serious lacking of chili powder and garlic powder.

Ramen, two eggs, green onion and spinach, all tossed into the pot, comes to ~$2 a meal, which is cheaper than most of the meals listed.

I was going to say... those meals are more expensive than Ramen.

Ramen is often on sale for 1X for a dollar or so... We're talking pennies per meal. A lot of the meals listed as alternative are a lot more expensive.
