Total: $20.02 Location: CA, USA

  • 4 cans of diced tomatoes

  • 2 cans of tuna in water

  • 2 lbs of whole carrots

  • a bag of elbow macaroni

  • 2 round tomatoes

  • 3 cucumbers

  • head of iceburg lettuce

  • loaf of white bread

  • 1 bunch of cilantro

  • 2 yellow onions

  • 1 lb of thinly sliced chicken breast

  • 1 lb of bananas

For 2 people! I already have pinto beans, white rice, lentils, and some other pasta options in the pantry

some eggs and condiments in the fridge as well.

my budget was $24 😱

I tried to grab things that were $1 or less! Which there was surprisingly many options. The bread, carrots, and chicken were the only exception all ranging from $1.30-$6.50

Just wanted to give an example of what items to choose to remain on a budget. Still being able to get meats, produce and some carbs.

Potential meals with these items:

  • Carrot and Tomato soup ! (carrots, canned diced tomatoes, onion, elbow pasta)

  • Grilled Chicken Sandwiches (white bread, chicken, tomato, lettuce, cucumber)

  • Tuna Pasta Salad (elbow pasta, tuna, cucumber, tomato)

  • Pollo de Tomate (chicken, yellow onion, carrots, diced tomatoes, cilantro)

  • Chicken Salad (chicken, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot)

  • Carrot Fries (carrots baked in oven tossed in oil/seasonings)

  • Tuna Sandwich (tuna, white bread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber)

  • Chicken Tomato Pasta (elbow pasta, diced tomatoes, chicken, yellow onion, cilantro)
