I was bored at work and actually added up my grocery run from Sunday, a 5 lb bag of rice, two cans of black beans, an onion, and a jar of salsa came to about $6 total and makes 16 servings. I've been stressing about meal planning and buying frozen stuff at $4 a box when this whole time the cheapest thing I make is the one I actually like eating. What's the one meal in your rotation that costs almost nothing but you'd still order it at a restaurant?
