    Can I just say a struggle meal and a meal on a budget are two different things. How I would spend $15 on a meal is different than how I would spend my LAST $15 on a meal. I think that’s where the confusion came in. That rice beans and plantains would gↄ a lot further if you struggling. 😂

I've had tons of meals where I didn't add any seasoning because I was just cooking for myself and I didn't have time to be marinating and coating and all that stuff because I was focused on getting myself fed no matter what taste it had 😂 I don't understand how that is percieved as "white" but to each their own 🤷🏽

    Queen and Kayline ain't ever struggled. Makeba has been through it. She's the only one that created a struggle meal and I appreciate how real it was. You're not trying to be fancy you're trying to survive. Therefore the goal is to be dirt cheap and to stretch. Makeba's did that. The sauce is the ketchup in your fridge, the beans are the cheapest form of protein, the plantain is cheap, filling and satisfying and the rice carries it. You still have money left over in case, and you can safely eat that meal all week till payday. The other two however were showing us $15 meals. She critiqued the way she did cause she knew that someone who struggled the way she did would have come a lot better if they had $15 to make one meal, for one person, for one day. Neither of them milked that money for what it's worth, talking bout chicken fillet, precut bell peppers and almond milk. Y'all better leave Makeba alone, she was spot on. $15 for one meal and you don't even have greens, wheel and come again.

They didn't use expensive seasonings(if any), probably the bare minimum amount of cooking oil and included a low cost protein (beans). I thought that they were on point with keeping it low and nutritious regardless if it was lacking flavor. I don't think $15 is a budget meal either. The first meal bought things that'll last a few days versus spending a whole $15 on a singular portion.

      If you’re struggling you can eat more beans per price of meat. It’s common sense, the difference is the interpretation of budget meal. 15$ is not a budget meal, that’s just a meal, expensive too if you’re not using ingredients from home, like rice and beans.

    If we're talking about a real struggle meal, as in that $15 has to last several days: dried beans, rice, and a ton of seasonings from the pantry. Add some chicken if it's in the budget and/or you already have enough rice and beans at home.
    My budget meal is chili. Realistically about $10 out of our weekly food budget of $80. Makes 4 portions for my spouse and I, and freezes very well.
    -$4: one lb. ground beef
    -$2: two cans beans (kidney + black)
    -$3: two cans diced tomatoes
    -$1: tomato paste
    + Pantry goods: white rice, lots of seasonings, chicken or beef bouillon. Let's be generous and say these take up the remaining $5 for the portions used. Buying the larger packs of beef and weighing them out into freezer bags can bring the cost down even more.
