He mixes up the beans every night so it's not the same meal. Black beans Monday, pintos Wednesday, chickpeas Friday. Said the rice is the base and the beans are the flavor. I told him that sounded sad. Then I saw my grocery bill for 3 weeks, $210 for just me. His is $60 for two people. I tried his way for 7 days and honestly it wasn't bad. Still figuring out how to keep it from getting old though. What do you all rotate in so you don't get sick of it?
$60 a week for two people probably means he's skipping meat and fresh stuff, which adds up in other ways later. Rotating beans is easy, getting enough protein and veggies without boring yourself to death is the real trick.
