Update: I started putting an egg in my instant ramen and my grocery bill dropped to $38 a week
So about two months back I was broke after a car repair and eating plain ramen for dinner like 5 nights a week, and it was making me feel like garbage. My buddy Marcus, who cooks at a diner here in Columbus, watched me make one and just said "bro you need protein in that or you're gonna waste away." I didn't have money for chicken, so I cracked one egg straight into the boiling water right at the end, stirred it once, and let it sit for 30 seconds. Total game changer. The egg makes it creamy and fills me up so I'm not raiding the pantry an hour later. I started adding whatever sad veggie was about to die in my fridge too, like half an onion or some spinach. Last week I did the math and I'm spending around $38 a week on food now instead of $70, and I'm actually full. Anyone got other cheap stuff that actually sticks to your ribs like that? I'm getting tired of eggs.

The egg makes it creamy part got me because that's just fancy talk for raw egg soup, but honestly you're not wrong. A can of black beans dumped in with some chili powder does the same job and costs like a dollar, so you can rotate those in when the eggs get old. Also throw in a frozen bag of mixed veggies, they last forever and you don't have to watch them die in the fridge.
