Beans and rice is cheap as hell, easy to make, and it'll last for a week or two depending on storage options.
I'm really tired of the expensive angle on healthy eating. It literally takes 20 minutes of research to get around that issue.
I never liked this suggestion. Sure, dry beans and rice are cheap. When we tried to make beans, they came out tasteless and gross no matter what we tried. No matter what recipe we followed, they never tasted good. Rice is also cheap, especially when bought in bulk, but there's only so many seasoning or sauce sauce combinations until I'm sick of eating the same thing. Even if it's every other day, there's no way I'm eating the same thing. We did that with overnight oats because they are cheap and easy to prepare ahead of time. We did it so much, it makes me gag now and I'll never touch it again. On top of all that, I'm tired of cheap eating being reduced to the simplest possible foods imaginable and acting like people will eat them every or most days.
So look for a recipe then. Chicken is cheap as hell. Pasta is cheap as hell. Rice is cheap as hell. Veggies are cheap as hell. Recipes will tell you how to cook it and make it taste good.
Chicken cheap as hell? Where tf you shoppin at?
