How I Make 20 Healthy Meals for $30 (Brian Lagerstrom)

The most honest shopping list here. Brian Lagerstrom builds five dinners for two around a bag of dried black beans, a dozen eggs, four bone-in chicken legs, a head of cabbage, kale and rice, and the description splits that grocery list from a separate pantry list of oil, spices, soy sauce and bouillon, so you can see exactly what the $30 does and does not cover. Night one is beans, greens and rice; the beans come back as refried beans on tostadas, the roast chicken turns into soup, and leftover rice ends the week as fried rice. It leans on a pressure cooker for the beans, though canned beans are offered as a swap.
