The week I stretched a $40 grocery run into 8 full dinners

Last spring I had a rough paycheck and only had $40 for food for the whole week. I ended up making a giant pot of chili with canned beans, tomatoes, and cheap ground beef that lasted 4 nights, plus used the leftovers to stuff bell peppers. Has anyone else had a week where you were shocked at how far you could make a little bit of food go?

Nah, chili and bell peppers is solid but you can't really "stretch" ground beef that far...
