I finally ate for $11 all week after my landlord raised rent in Boise
Rent went up $150 last month so I started doing rice, beans, and whatever veggies are marked down at the WinCo on Fairview. My trick is buying the 10 pound bag of chicken leg quarters for like $7 and roasting them all Sunday, then I stretch that plus the bones into soup by Thursday. Anyone got a cheap way to make leftovers not taste like sad leftovers by day 4?

Man, I feel this in my bones. One thing that saved me was changing up the sauce or spice every time I reheated, so it never tastes the same twice. Day 2 chicken gets taco seasoning, day 3 it goes in a stir fry with soy sauce and that marked down cabbage, day 4 the soup gets a squeeze of lime and some chili flakes. Also crisp stuff back up in a pan instead of the microwave, makes a huge difference for texture. And honestly, freezing half the batch on Sunday helps too, by Thursday your taste buds are just bored of it, not the food itself. Your mileage may vary but that spice swap trick got me through many a lean month.
