Good grief. When I search for “budget” recipes, I don’t mean “50 Things You Can Make with a Pound of Hamburger Meat.” I mean, what the fuck do we eat when we can’t afford hamburger meat or chicken or any other “cheap” meats? Do we just keep eating boxed pasta and jarred sauce? Do we just keep eating ramen? I can make vegetarian chili, but it sure as hell isn’t filling and still ends up rotting in the fridge because two people with depression would rather eat Pop Tarts right out of the wrapper for a week than heat up and season leftovers.

Give me that $50 a week grocery list that won’t make us feel like we are surviving a nuclear winter.
