    I should say- dollar stores tend to have some basic spices. Not the best quality, but if you don't have any from before the job situation, it's better than nothing.

    Homemade chicken chili can really pack in a bunch of nutrients as well as high protein. Died beans, boneless/skinless chicken, and a broth of your choice. Easy and cheap ;)

    Is there an Aldi's near you? They are SUCH a bargain priced grocery store. Scour the circulars in your area to find the best sales. Frozen vegs keep for a long time but if you really prefer fresh and they start to go before you've used them, make soup. Soup is the answer for vegs that are starting to go and if you pack in some beans and maybe some bowties, you can make a fine minestrone. A jar of broth powder will go MUCH farther and is way cheaper than buying canned broth. Making your own goes farthest BUT this can be a time consuming process. Instead of buying all of your produce at the supermarket, look for smaller fruit stands in your area; where I live, the herbs and veggies are usually much cheaper.
