Yesterday

Publix (yeah, I know) had black beans for $1/can so I stocked up thinking just something to have for the craving and then have in storage for when it was needed. Without trying to eat to a budget or super frugally, I was surprised at the math. I figure my lunch of black beans and rice, with several dashes of Sriracha, cost me about 75 cents a meal. Granted, I don't eat big meals (I eat 5-6 smaller meals a day). That said, I'm just cooking/eating for one, so not providing for a family of 3 or 4, etc.
