Recipe link using coffee maker.
WalMart sells boiled eggs near the veggie section. Can use for sandwiches or add to a side McD salad.
Hellman's mayo used to say on their web site you could keep their mayo unrefrigerated. The big thing is not to allow it to be in contact with anything else. Use a small squeeze bottle and hold it above your food or bread being careful not to let the tip touching anything.
I have gotten a $1 styrofoam ice chest at the local Dollar Tree. Several gas stations sell a large drink for less than a dollar and will sell you a refill of ice for about 30cents. I got cups from two gas stations,one had thick plastic cups,the other cheap lids with styrofoam cups. I took the 2 good plastic lids and put them on the styrofoam cups filled with ice. This allowed me to put them in the little ice chest with a small pkg of ham,some cheddar cheese from the Dollar tree & some hot dogs. (Keep foods in Ziploc bags). As the ice melted it also gave me cold water to drink.
You could probably do this as well with a rotisserie chicken. Find a park,eat,debone the leftovers & place in small ziplocs in a little styrofoam cooler. Cover with Reflectix if you have it while it is in your car,or a towel to add insulation.
Your list looks great! Canned foods,soups,ham,some lunch meats,all contain a lot of sodium so fresh is better if you can get it. Being in the city makes fresh.much easier than boondocking in a desert for several weeks many miles from a store. Powdered milk can taste nasty depending on what kind you get but it does have some protein in it. A splash of vanilla extract helps the taste as does cold water. I make an iced coffee with instant coffee,powdered milk mixed with a little warm water to dissolve,then add cold water and ice to it. I have made hot chocolate with the packets at a campground with hot faucet water. Adding powdered milk (dry) to your oatmeal can up your protein intake as well as calcium. Being frugal doesn't have to equate with eating unhealthy if
we make wise choices on how and where to spend our money.
If you are living in your car in the city,think of it as where you sleep. You kitchen/dining room can be a park,a lot of a grocery store, a small cafe. Some libraries have a room where you can drink & eat in. Pack The city is your living room,your backyard,front yard and side yard. Don't allow where you sleep to limit what you eat. Your body needs good nourishment to keep it fueled.
