PSA: I was rinsing my ground beef in a colander to 'save fat' and my grocery bill went UP
Did it for 8 months until my roommate watched me and asked why I was washing away half the protein I paid $5.49 a lb for. Anyone got cheap meals that actually fill you up without me doing weird stuff like this?
Aww man that stings, my mom did the same thing with chicken for a while and yeah, you're just pouring money down the drain. Beans and rice with a fried egg on top is my go to, cheap as hell and keeps you full for hours. Don't beat yourself up, we've all done something like that at least once.
