The week I lived off a $5 bag of potatoes and learned a hard lesson

I had $12 left after rent and bought a giant sack of russets, then spent three days trying to make them interesting before I cracked and just ate them boiled with salt. What's the cheapest single ingredient you've ever had to stretch for a whole week?

That giant sack of russets is a familiar sight. For me it was a big bag of rice. I got a soy sauce packet from a gas station and would mix that in, or I'd fry an egg if I found a cheap dozen. A little onion and garlic powder, which I already had, made it feel like a real meal. It was boring, but it filled the hole.
