I thought the $5 meal plan from my sister in Ohio was nonsense until I added up my food spending for April
Turns out I was blowing $340 a month on lunches and takeout, and her boring beans-and-rice rotation actually got me down to $190, so has anyone else had a cheap plan like that work way better than it had any right to?

That "boring beans-and-rice rotation" line got me because that's exactly what saved me too. I did the same math last year and found out I was dropping close to $300 a month just on grabbing lunch out, which honestly made me feel sick. Switched to cooking a big pot of something cheap on Sunday and packing it all week, and my grocery bill barely moved while my eating out money dropped off a cliff. It's wild how the plans that look the most dull end up being the ones that actually stick.
