My roommate bet me $20 I couldn't feed us for a week on $15, and the look on his face at the checkout line was worth it
So last Tuesday we were at the Aldi on 5th and he said there was no way I could do a full week of dinners for two people on $15. I took it, grabbed a bag of dried lentils, a bag of rice, a big can of crushed tomatoes, an onion, garlic, and a pack of chicken thighs that were marked down to $4.13. He kept hovering over me at the register doing the math out loud, and when the total hit $14.87 he just went quiet the whole ride home. The trick was rice and lentils for three nights, then I shredded the thighs into a tomato sauce for pasta the rest of the week. What's your go-to meal when the budget gets that tight?

Did he at least pay up or is he still in shock? My go-to is eggs and rice with whatever sad veggie is dying in the fridge, never fails.
