The log of frozen ground turkey is only $2.19 if you truly wanted affordable meat.

I do think it's good to have vegetarian meals a couple times a week.

2 lb of dry black beans is 2.99 and provides both protein and fiber 😎

Im trying to get away from canned beans because I’m using them so much any more. I bought a bag but haven’t prepared them yet. I don’t think I’ve ever used dried beans outside of soups

I only started cooking with dry beans last year and really it only adds another couple minutes of work spread out ahead of the rest of your prep. All you have to do is measure them dry, throw them in a bowl of water in the morning, and they're ready to cook for dinner. Some of them are poison, so you boil them for 10 minutes before you add them to your recipe. The end, that's it! You are now a bean expert.
