I tried that once and didn't like it...i don't know what was in it, if anything...tasted kinda bland/sweet..
I heard someone putting cinnamon on top. Is there a certain kind i can get thats flavored...in a good way?0 -
my go-to's when I am feeling poor are beans, tuna, and frozen veggies. One of my favorites meals is a burrito bowl with black beans, frozen veggies and salsa (I also sprinkle some cumin and chili powder over it). If you want to you could add rice as well which is also cheap.0

Buy some Thomas' Bagel thins (aprox. $2-3 depending on the store, in my area), a package of 2% cheese slices (aprox. $3-4), & a dozen eggs (aprox. 2-3).
One bagel thin, one egg, & one slice of cheese = a very filling 185 cals!0 -
fruit, microwave steam in a bag broccoli, bag of salad for a few days, boiled eggs,0

cabbage
carrots

Add a sliced granny smith apple and some splenda - yummy!0 -
brown rice, simple fruits and veggies (tomatoes,bananas, apples, oranges, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, cucumbers, lettuce) bulk food items (if you have access to that kind of store) eggs, milk, plain yogurt, some frozen fruits and veggies (without added ingredients), canned tuna, canned beans (rinse them first) cornmeal, there are tons of things that are cheap...speaking from experience...0

Those steam fresh bags of veggies. Pretty cheap and I'm always seeing coupons for them.0

yes, sprinkle with cinnamon. it's good! you can also buy chicken in family packs - the breasts are the most lean, but the thighs (skinless) are much cheaper and prob not all that bad.
tuna is also great choice. canned green beans, brown rice, potatoes/yams, fruit, green leafy veggies. lots of choices.0 -

I LOVE the bagel thins. My favorite lunch right now is a bagel thin with a tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter and a cut up banana on top!0 -
Tuna
Veggies (Some places have things like a pound of green beans for just a couple dollars)
Frozen Veggies if fresh is too expensive
Whole Wheat Pasta (They usually have at least one of them on sale making it just a dollar or two. Just watch moderation.)
Brown Rice is good with everything
Chicken (Up by me, its 6.99 for a several pound bag of frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts)
Lettuce
Wheat Toast (Great with a tbsp of peanut butter as a breakfast or snack choice)0 -
Bananas!! I almost forgot the bananas!! A weeks worth is usually a few cents more than a dollar.0
