Update: My pantry bean soup finally hit the $1.50 per meal mark
I swapped in a can of store-brand tomatoes and a leftover ham bone from a holiday dinner, and it cut the cost by another 30 cents. Anyone have other ideas for stretching a bean soup even further?

Love seeing that number drop. A handful of dry pasta or some extra potatoes from the back of the cupboard can really bulk it up for almost nothing. Feels good to make a meal stretch like that.

It's like @hill.jade said, that kind of small win makes the whole budget feel more possible.

Yeah, making a meal stretch like that is key. I read something similar from hill.jade about using up pantry stuff. It really does turn a tight week around.
