Good food to make on a budget.

Me too! I have never made it since. But better than going hungry.

I mean even stupid grits are expensive now days.

I've had regular grits, but I don't think I've ever heard of stupid grits.

I made this last weekend. Really good lemon pepper chicken. The most expensive thing in the whole meal was the chicken everything else was under $5. I can post link to recipe I used if interested.

My dad always told me plenty of fish in the sea and he told me you need to date 3 at a time like I did . But he was serious he said not because you’re a player but so you can do your best to find the right one. Even though I never took that advice and always fixated on only one, I think his advice is what I’d give a single guy today lol

I have Walmart + and quit going to the grocery store. When I did go people would look at the meat selection and just keep going...very

I can’t get over Chuck steak on sale for $6/lb and normally $8? I bought that all the time in college and it can be made to be tasty due to the fat. No lie I remember $0.69/lb. But that’s why pork chops at $1.99/lb is kind of crazy in 2025

Cheap is more important than yummy, I say this since you said cheap 1st

Oatmeal for breakfast, it will fill you up!
Peanut Butter for Lunch
Dinner is a hard 1, since I normally do the Liquid Thing.

What I listed for breakfast and Lunch is healthy, the older you get it is more important to eat healthy.

For me it’s simple: oikos yogurt with blueberries

Lunch: salad of kale and soinach
Dinner: overnight oats with black and blueberries

If a healthy diet is important to you, eating a wide variety of foods is important in order to get all the micronutrients in your diet that you need.
