Rant: Hitting that $50 weekly grocery mark felt impossible until I stopped following the meal prep influencers

Everyone online swears by bulk cooking and fancy spices, but my $50 challenge only worked when I went back to basics: rice, beans, and whatever veggie was on clearance. I hit exactly $48.72 last Thursday with 7 dinners prepped, and it tasted way better than those $30-a-week influencer meals.

Same, ditch the influencer meals and just getting real food made all the difference for me too. Rice and beans actually fill you up without costing a fortune.

I mean, $48.72 is definitely more than $30 though.
