Whether you’re a ramen fiend or just love to cook with such a versatile noodle, or have a student heading off to college in a few weeks, Amazon has lots of cheap choices today.  I bought a couple of these years ago and, at that time, paid a really good price, but now you can get them for so much less!  Yeah, the sodium is through the roof, but you don’t need to use even a fraction of the seasoning packet – use your own imagination.  A range of cheap flavors are listed, too, although I’ve just linked to the Roast Chicken flavor.  Most have 15% discounts when you sign up for Subscribe & Save, another nice benefit.

If you’re the kind who prefers cup-style, here’s a Maruchan Souper six-pack of noodles; it also comes in the larger size packs.
