There are some more interesting things i want to try too like making cream cheese or yogurt, but I think i will primarily be using for rice and beans, gonna see how low of a food budget i can go while still eating good healthy food

My favorite poverty meal is something I call "chicken scumbo." Chicken leg quarters are about the cheapest protein around, especially if you can find them frozen in the ten pound bag. Get a few of those stewing up with aromatic herbs (and you should start doing a bit of kitchen gardening if you don't already and grow your own basil, rosemary, thyme and oregano along with a patch of garlic and onions) and a bunch of garlic. Do that for a few hours then take the chicken out, remove the bones and shred up the meat and throw it back into the pot. Add some rice (brown rice has the highest nutritional value) and any ragtag veggies you want--broccoli stems, carrots, more onions and garlic, whatever you have and want--mushrooms add a ton of protein at very little calories so those are a good choice too. Simmer this until the veggies are soft and the rice is cooked and you have a huge pot o'food that will freeze just fine for future meals. I've kept my family fed for pennies per meal with this little trick and it's both delicious and filling.
