Vent: My neighbor's $12 bean pot changed how I feed my family on Fridays
Last month my neighbor Rosa invited me over for lunch and served a big pot of pinto beans with cornbread and a bag of frozen mixed veggies. She mentioned the whole thing ran her about $12 and fed her family of five for two dinners plus lunches. I had been spending close to $45 every Friday on takeout because I was too tired to cook after work. Rosa walked me through her Sunday routine where she soaks the beans overnight and tosses in whatever ends up in her fridge drawer. I started doing the same thing three weeks ago and my grocery bill dropped by almost $30 a week. Has anyone else built a weekly meal around one cheap staple like this, and what did you pick?
