I eat a lot of beans, like, really a lot of beans. They are cheap and healthy and a complete protein when combined with a whole grain such as corn or brown rice. I also makes my own frozen dinners so I can cook in large batches. I save on time, washing dishes, and electricity that way. I always look for sales and stock up when there is a good deal on something I like. I buy things like coffee and tea in bulk only, all my grains I get in bulk, beans in bulk. I try to avoid paying for packaging because that raises the price. And I also no longer buy myself treats because I can't afford it. My treat now is a chopped banana with cocoa powder dusted on it. That way it's all good nutritionally too.
