noodles and garlic and shrimp and tofu

I am now trying to cool it when it comes to restaurant partying. What I mean by that is I find it easier to get items at the restaurant for cheap instead of buying stuff to make at home even cheaper. So, I buy the noodle packets in bulk (and by "bulk" I mean how much I choose to buy whether I buy one or two or three or ten) and then I buy the tofu... not the kind already sealed in the package but the bulk kind that comes in tied clear bags next to the chili peppers. I get the bag of tofu for a dollar. The tofu provides the protein. The dollar-bowls of noodles also contain shrimp and the forty-nine-cents packages don't. I get both types. However, I add the tofu and it's quite filling. For extra flavor and health benefits, I add garlic. For those of you who don't want to spend a lot of money on stuff, this is one way to go.
