peanut butter >> high in protein cheaper if you buy the generic brand or the big tubs
some jelly to go w/ said peanut butter
beans, super cheap, especially if you make them yourself. pinto beans for every cup of dry beans add 1.5-2 cups of water, add about 1.5 table spoons of salt, add about 1/5 - 1/4 cup of oil [so they don't stick as much]. boil until they're soft and eatable, keep stirring them every 10 mins or so so they don't stick to the bottom.. you might want a little bit of onion or garlic for flavor and nutritiousness. over time you'll add more or less salt depending on how u like them. we're 5 and that usually lasts us a week, so u probably need less. you can leave in the fridge for a bout a week or until they start to smell/taste funky. otherwise buy the canned beans, but that's way more expensive.
you can put some drained beans [no watery stuff] in a pan w/ a little bit of oil to make them like re-fried, mash them up as you warm/fry them. you can probably do this w/ out the oil but make sure they dry up as much as possible. buy some nacho ships/tostadas to go w/ them.
mashed potatoes, you know the big flake boxes.
mac & cheese, on sale i got them for 50 cents
rice, also sorta cheap. don't know how to make it, i usually just eat it at my bf's cuz he has a rice cooker >>343653 I've thought of doing that but i haven't done the math of the savings since i'd still have to fire up the oven and the apartment gets hella hot.
