Hack a healthy, yet not expensive, meal.
rjett: Cook huge meals once or twice a week and save the leftovers...Spaghetti lasts me 4 meals, chicken pot pie lasts me about the same. +1 for PG's beans and rice...I cook it with kielbasa and sautee peppers and onions and that lasts me for 4 or 5 meals. Since I'm doing all my cooking, the average cost per meal comes in right around $3...not bad for a 2-guy-in-a-garage budget.
