Get a pressure cooker. It’s really easy to make large yummy meals on a budget. Start it in the morning or before you go to bed and then by the next evening you have enough to eat and pack away for until your next meal is ready the following evening

As far as budgeting goes, youre gonna wanna be able to buy one ingredient and use it for other things. For example, I bought chicken breasts for the week. Half of them were used for chicken sandwiches and the other half is for chicken and dumplings. This is good for meats cause it’s the most expensive typically

I don’t know what to do. I’m a picky eater and broke so it’s a huge issue plus I can only eat halal meat so that’s an issue. I just wanna eat right. Since I have a meal plan I’m okay with just cooking food and giving it to friends, I just need a budget yk. So that’s what I’m wondering, like what’s a good budget for all this

I also spend anywhere from 60-120 on groceries for two people. 60 is my super low budget end but it’s doable. A 100 I would say is average and comfortable tbh
