Pro tip: $11 of chicken thighs and rice fed me for 6 days straight, and I still think about that week
Back when I was making $9.25 an hour at a print shop in 2011, I had $14 left for food until Friday. I got a 5 pound bag of chicken thighs for $6, a 10 pound bag of rice for $4, and a jar of salsa for $2, then ate rice and baked thighs every night. Day 4 I started throwing an egg on top, which felt like a fancy meal back then. Now I spend way more at the store and eat worse. What's your go to meal when the food budget gets tight?
