This thread is fantastic and couldn't have come at a better time. I currently have an income of $0.00 now (well, $240 a month from the VA), so I've been trying to get some ideas on how to eat cheaply. I'm going to try rice and beans for the first time tonight and I hope it turns out well.

One thing I'd like to mention, as others did, is how insanely different food prices can be depending on the area you live in. I walked to the store today (Albertson's) with the intention of stocking up on dried beans. They were $3.50 a pound for store brand red, black, pinto, whatever.

:negative:

I instead got one pound of lentils for $1.99. Luckily I still have some beans, which are now soaking, so I can experiment with my dinner.

Basically, gently caress "the man" (grocery stores).
