Honestly your “plain” dinner sounds pretty good. :) Eating on the cheap can get monotonous, though, if you’re eating the same things all the time. Or anyway that’s my current situation.

I swear by Aldi. Dirt cheap produce and spices, good quality. If you work in a grocery store, get friendly with the produce folks because edible stuff gets tossed. If you can procure and cook a large amount of chicken at once, you can shred it and freeze it in portions and use as needed in place of the nuggets and get way more protein for your buck. Of course there’s a labor tradeoff.

It’s crazy how all the things we’ve been told to do for health and sustainability… are often more economical.

Ah okay thanks.

My current job is a kroger place and it has some damn good stuff but there's also a Natural Grocer's nearby. Also I've been really loving being close to a Great Wall Supermarket (international/asian supermarket) because I love Japanese and Hawaiian cuisine . And GW often has the stuff cheaper than I tend to find it at a lot of regular places, and stuff you wouldn't find at regular stores. It's honestly so cool.

I do wanna eat on a budget but tbh if I can start cooking I'm already saving a LOT of money from what I was doing- and I can probably speed up my weight loss.
