Appreciation post: the $0.79 rice and beans combo that got me through the worst week of the year
Last week my car died on a Tuesday in Modesto and I had $23 to my name until payday that Friday. So I ate rice and canned black beans three nights in a row, and honestly night two with some hot sauce and a fried egg was better than the burrito I usually buy. I'm not saying it was a highlight of my life, but it kept me fed for about $5 total. What are your go to meals when the wallet is truly empty?

Wait, your car died and you only had $23 total? That part is blowing my mind. Like, not even $23 for food, just $23 for everything until Friday. I've been broke before but that is a whole different level of stress, especially in Modesto where you kind of need a car to get anywhere. Did you have to walk to get the beans or did you already have them in the cupboard? I feel like I would've panicked and just not eaten at all, so the fact that you figured out the fried egg thing on night two is honestly impressive.
