So far I’ve gotten to a point where I feel like I’m doing a good job at making this plan however I’m on a money crunch of 100 and I’m trying to keep a low budget with tax this comes to about 75$ I’m going to work while my gf is going to school for cosmetology it’s definitely tough right now any tips or ideas? Obviously we won’t be eating this without seasoning where’s the fun in that

12.5lb per meal a day of black beans? Yo… you’re gonna kill your coworkers.
Where are the vegetables? Fresh or frozen, some can be mixed in with this. You need some kind of vegetable with all this stuff.
Fresh Broccoli/Cauliflower can be used raw like in a salad or cooked, and is easily adapted with your current selections. Frozen vegetables last a long time, and are fairly cheap for a bag to just keep around.
$4.20/lb of chicken breast seems kinda expensive. My bunch of local grocery stores( including Walmart) have it for under $3 so maybe try looking elsewhere
You need the following 4 things and it’s cheap
Potatoes, beans, broccoli, frozen carrot/pea mix
With what you have plus these items you’ll be in a much healthier place but also the ingredients will actually last.
Do you have an Aldi near you? I consistently get chicken there for under 3.00/ lb.
I know it’s location based, and you might be in a higher COLA than i am.
Shopping the ads might do well for you also. Only buy the boneless skinless breasts when they are on sale, and buy in higher quantities. You will save more money in the long run.
