Meals that can be made for 33 cents or less!

Rules: 0. 33 cents was picked to aim towards that mythical $1 a day target!

Posts should be about a dish/meal you personally made that cost less than 33 cents USD, OR a video of someone making it/reviewing it. Just want to avoid recipes being posted that no one has actually ever tasted.
A meal should have at least 400 calories
Meals should be replicable and not rely on crazy discounted items
Feel free to post failures!
No over reliance on bulk purchases. Requiring a single egg from a cartoon of 18 is fine, requiring a single egg from a cartoon of 64 bought from costco, less so.
This is mostly a challenge on creativity and thinking outside normal cooking rules. Sometimes the result will be learning why a rule exists.
Feel free to ignore calculating costs of oil to grease a pan, dash of salt, teaspoon of sugar, etc.

Breaks rule 1, but I wanted to share as this is the video that got me into limited budget meals in the first place. As far as I understand he follows the constraints from the community, but he didn't calculate the costs of exceedingly low cost things like water and individual teaspoons of things like spice.

I changed the rules to allow my boy, and also added that you can skip "pinch of salt" "dash of oil" and the like! Also so that videos like him work.

I mostly want to avoid people posting recipes that no one has actually tested yet, so videos where the content creator eats them sound great!

Awesome, the idea of making sure people have actually tried the foods does make sense.
