Finally meal prepped 5 lunches for $23 at the Aldi in Dayton, and the trick was ignoring the recipe apps
Spent 2 hours on a Sunday doing this instead of ordering out all week. The apps kept pushing 12 ingredient bowls that cost $60. I just bought 2 bags of rice, 5 chicken thighs, a bag of frozen peppers, and a jar of salsa. Cooked it all in one pan. That is $4.60 a lunch.
Six months ago I was spending $14 a day on takeout near my office. That is $70 a week gone. The apps make you think you need fresh herbs and a special sauce. You do not.
What is your cheapest repeat lunch that does not taste like sad leftovers by Wednesday?

The apps want you broke, not fed.
