I just realized my family of four ate for under $40 this whole week, which felt impossible a year ago.
We hit that number by sticking to a strict meal plan built around a $5 rotisserie chicken, a giant bag of rice, and frozen veggies, which completely changed my view that eating cheap means just eating pasta.

Man, my idea of a fun meal plan is seeing how many days I can eat chili straight from the pot before my wife stages an intervention. Last month I tried the whole 'one big cheap protein' thing with a pork shoulder. Ate pulled pork sandwiches for six days straight. By day four I was bargaining with the dog for a different flavor.
