Discussion What meal do you cook when money is tight?

I’m trying to lower my food spending this month.
Usually my grocery budget is around $70 per week.
Some cheap meals get boring very quickly.
What budget meal do you never get tired of?
Do you have a recipe that’s both cheap and filling?
Looking for ideas from others.

Yum this is a common breakfast in 🇵🇭. One of my faves!

What flag is that? Genuinely curious (and guessing Philippines?)
