I can’t believe I’ve been paying $10-12 per meal all this time.

I’ve always been paying a ridiculous amount for a meal when I do meal prep. I buy pre-cut veggies, meat, and it adds up instantly. I do prep on Sundays and I can never find the energy or motivation to cook so I figured it was worth it.<br><br>I’m cooking for one this week. I bought:<br>Ground beef (1.99/lb)<br>Ground tomatos (1.99)<br>Shredded cheese ($2.99)<br>A bunch of spinach (1.49)<br>A 3 pack of bell peppers (3.99)<br>Olive oil (3.99)<br>Spices (1.99)<br>One bag of rice (1.99)<br><br>I spent a total of $18.99.<br>I’m planning to make enough weekday meals for myself. I don’t think I’ve ever paid under $2.30 a meal for a 4 ingredient meal (beef, cheese, tomato, spinach) and rice, and those meals never included veggies. By the end of the week, I think I’ll have about 14 meals. So under $2 a meal. Absolutely glorious.
