    Hey,

    bagel pizzas: I use the bagel thins, they are tasty and less calories. Then you just buy the toppings you like.

    Since you have bagel thins for pizzas - buy some deli meat or tuna or chicken and make sandwiches! can make breakfast sandwiches fairly cheap as well!

    Get a pressure cooker, make beans and rice. Spice it with whatever you like (I like cumin and chili powder). Cheap, nutritious, and fulling.
  • When I was in college I would make one big pot of something and eat on it through out the week. This is one of my favorite recipes and very filling. I'm obsessed with the broth so each time I remove a cup for a meal I add another cup of water and the flavors will enhance over night. I would say you can pull this off for around $10

    Ingredients
    1 pound bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
    2 cups water
    2 cups chopped cabbage
    1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian stewed tomatoes, undrained and cut up
    1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
    1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed French onion soup
    1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Directions
    In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the water, cabbage, tomatoes, broth and soup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Stir in tortellini; cook 7-9 minutes longer or until pasta is tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
