    Those Knorr/Lipton rice packets. They're only a dollar. Get the buffalo chicken one. Add a little can of cooked chicken ($1.60) and you have dinner. Or the spanish rice one and add half a can of black beans (can is 60 cents). Use the other half of the can (or the rices) in scrambled eggs. (Less than $2 for 18). And invest in a bag of shredded cheddar on sale along with some tortillas. You'll be set fopr quite a while.

  • LOL @ Peanut Butter. Maybe some Nutella and Bread?

    buy some potatoes. you can cook them hellllllla different ways, and you'd be surprised at how inexpensive some of the fresh produce is. i dont know if your a fan of fruits and veggies, but if you are check it out. also canned soups, chilis, chef boyardi, etc. are always nice.
