Serious inquiry.

I'm not really much of a "foody". Of course, I like good eats as much as the next guy. But most of the time I just eat to fuel up.

So, with grocery prices going through the roof, I've been wondering what I can eat that will keep me well fed with a fairly balanced diet that won't break the bank.

I'd like to hear some suggestions. Cheap protein and nutritious vegetables, especially.

Beans and rice. I noticed that's what the locals seemed to live on in Central America.

Another vote for beans and rice. Cheap, quick, and easy to prepare.

Tuna is hard to beat on protein and price

I was going to suggest Red beans and rice, as well

Yeah,..beans and rice are always a good choice and I like both well enough. But I have to eat beans and rice sparingly these days or my guts get fairly cranky.

Sardines and a tomato, you can eat one each a day.
Also don’t eat much. Eat a handful of mixed nuts in the morning and drink a tea. Stop eating at 3:30 pm

Beans and smoked sausage without rice. Rice is cheap but jacks up your sugar.

I've read that lentils are very nutritious. I don't think I've even eaten any.

pork, fish, eggs, and chicken are still not bad price-wise.

Rare, but some people are allergic to lentils so start out with a small quantity if you've never eaten them before.

Cheap means creative.

Use cheaper cuts of meat and other animal proteins.

Yeah, I've been thinking about adding more fish to my diet. In fact, I stocked up on some of those big, oval cans of sardines recently.

I just served 2lbs of navy beans and a 2lb pork shoulder in it... total cost under 4 bux and my 5 eaters didn't finish it all.
