I usually spend about $90 a week on groceries for two people, but after my car needed a $400 repair last Monday I had to squeeze the food budget down to whatever cash was left in my wallet. I ended up doing one small trip to the Aldi on Bouquet Canyon and building dinners around a bag of dried lentils, a rotisserie chicken, and a $2 bag of frozen mixed veggies, which stretched a lot further than I expected. What is your go to cheap meal when money gets tight mid month?
