My famous Mexi-Beans and Rice.

1 box boca ground "beef" ($2.49)
10 c white rice (1 large box for $2.39)
3 large cans red kindney beans ($.99 ea = $3)
Chilli powder to taste (in my pantry!)
Shredded cheddar cheese ($2.39 a package) (- $0.50 coupon) = $1.89
__________________________
Total: $9.74 plus tax

Drinks would be diet pepsi or diet sierra mist. I have so much soda stocked up it's not even funny!
