[quote:PIR:MV8yNDU3ODc4XzQyMzEwNDI5Xzk2NzYwMTE3] Right now red beans and rice are cheap and can be found in most stores (at this time). These 2 items are a quick and cheap (at this time) meal offering wholesome nutrition. These 2 items can be bought in bulk (at this time) and both store well if stored in the right manner. P.I.R. Red Beans & Rice Nutrition Red beans and rice is a nutrient-dense food, providing plenty of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals relative to the amount of calories that it contains. To get the most nutrient-packed meal, use brown rice and cook the beans from scratch to minimize sodium content. One cup of red beans and rice, mixed half and half, contains approximately 400 calories. Carbohydrates and Fiber One cup of red beans and brown rice mixed half and half has 80 g of carbohydrate and 18 g of fiber, which is about half the desired daily amount of fiber. This large amount of fiber slows the entry of these healthy carbohydrates into the blood stream, thereby blunting any large insulin response. In addition, fiber increases satiety by making you feel fuller and it is linked with a reduction in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and colon cancer. Protein One cup of red beans and brown rice mixed half and half has 22 g of protein. Rice and beans are thought of as complementary proteins, meaning that when eaten together they provide all the essential amino acids. Thus even though rice is low in some amino acids and beans are low in others, eaten together their strengths complement each other, providing a complete protein. Fat Red beans and rice is a very low fat food, containing only 2 g of fat in every cup. Because of the high fiber content, however, it still tends to provide satiety without the fat. If some healthy fat is desired, olive oil can easily be added and will provide a nice flavor. Vitamins and Minerals Beans are a great source of B vitamins, folate, iron, magnesium and potassium. Brown rice is also full of B vitamins, manganese, magnesium and phosphorous, together making the mixture a powerhouse food. [/quote]

Ok GLP lets teach those on foodstamps how to stretch a dollar & where they dont have to eat potted meat or beefaronis or ramen noodles.
^^^these foods have near no nutritional value and contribute to obesity.
for one - every supermarket must DATE their foods. shop in the store and note the DATE OF EXPIRATION. come back that day of expiration and those meats will be reduced by half or more.
shop at bread stores, where most of the bread is either 2/1.00 or 1.00 a loaf.
ill start off with a few - this will feed a family of 6. and for 2 nights.
remember - this isnt mcnastys where you can "supersize it"....the only thing that will supersize is your waist if you dont cut down on portions.
1.5 lbs ground chicken
one onion chopped.
^^cook til browned & onions tender. drain.
add 8 slices of cheese (or 1 can of campbells cheese soup)
low flame, simmer til cheese is melted.
pkg of wraps.
finely shredded lettus
spoon the meat/cheese into the wrap, add lettus,
makes a crap load. 2 maybe 3 nights worth.
