My friend said my cheap meals were just filler, not food
She pointed out I was just eating rice and beans every night, which got old fast. Now I spend $5 on a bag of frozen mixed veggies to add in, and it feels like a real meal. What's one small add-on that made your budget cooking better?

My secret weapon is a jar of garlic powder, does that count?

... but is it the cheapo store brand or do you splurge for the good stuff? I find that makes a huge difference... the cheap stuff just tastes like dust to me. I've been through about five of those big restaurant size jars from Costco in the last year alone.

Oh man, absolutely counts. That stuff goes on everything at my house. Never underestimate the power of garlic powder.
