Spent $22 on a rice cooker at Goodwill and it killed my $200 grocery habit

I was blowing about $200 a month on takeout lunches near my office in Sacramento until I grabbed a $22 rice cooker from Goodwill back in March. Now I cook a big batch of rice and beans on Sunday and bring lunch four days a week, which has saved me close to $150 a month. What is the one cheap kitchen thing that actually cut your food bill?
