    Beans and rice. (Red beans and rice, black beans and rice, garbanzo beans in curry on rice, you can make probably a hundred delicious variations on beans and rice)

    A can of pureed pumpkin and a can of white beans with seasoning and a little chicken broth, heated and blended, makes a healthy and delicious soup.

    A can of tomatoes, an onion, a couple dried Chiles and a can of pinto beans also makes an incredible pureed soup.

    Up until recently I’d have said eggs and toast, but eggs are expensive lately. Still probably under $5 to feed 4 though.

    We bought a frozen turkey cheap after Christmas and my God that made so many meals, I still have 3 quarts of stock too.

    I don’t think a frozen pizza is a good deal in terms of nutrition but we do sometimes have that or the Little Caesars one if I can’t cook that night.

    None of us are fat, husband is overweight but fit, and the rest of us are on the thin side.
