It doesn't need to be expensive to be good and healthy. It's about foods that fit your taste buds while pleasant to enjoy. I can go with a 20lbs bag of brown rice, some rice seasoning, and some on-season veggies with cheap dark meat (chicken quarters) to make good wholesome meals. Better yet, a bowl of broth made from discounted meat with bones on and a few scraps of veggies with light seasoning, you got a buffet of a poor man's meal. This used to be my college days' feast on a student's tight budget. With prices of everything going up, it's hard to truly feed yourself. But it doesn't have to be bad foods to fuel your meals. However, I must admit, those freaking BBQ ribs on sales m, dirty rice, and piled high pizzas do tempt me to no end.
