This is a really good list of nutritious foods for under $2 but I would suggest dry beans instead of canned (for one-third of the cost) and making your own marinara sauce from tomato paste (for one-half to one-third of the cost).

Steve wanted to play bar trivia tonight so I went out with some friends and for the first time that I can remember, I didn't order anything or tip the bartender for the two waters I got (although once I got home I thought maybe I should have). But he wasn't concerned with providing good service so I don't feel so bad that I forgot.

I had to stay up for an hour and a half past my bedtime to cook my Mexican beans since I wanted to have them for lunch tomorrow but I wouldn't have had to do that if I hadn't gone out tonight. Or, I could have yogurt again for lunch tomorrow if I didn't want to cook.
