$0.40 Breakfasts for 21 Days
Woke up to find two massive containers of quick oats in my grocery delivery—no clue how that happened, but here we are. Oatmeal isn’t my go-to, but tossing it would be a waste, especially with grocery prices these days. If there’s a way to stretch a dollar, it’s making use of what’s already in the pantry. Oats are cheap, filling, and you can change them up every day. Sometimes I’ll toss in a spoonful of peanut butter, a handful of frozen berries, or just cinnamon and brown sugar. It’s not fancy, but it keeps breakfast under fifty cents.
Bulk buying (even by accident) can really help cut down on food costs. The trick is to get creative with what’s on hand. Oats can go sweet or savory—think about adding a fried egg and some hot sauce if you’re tired of the usual. Plus, they last forever, so there’s no rush to use them up. Every time I use up something I didn’t mean to buy, it feels like a small win for the budget.
