Eggs are CERTAINLY awesome! Other goodies: spaghetti squash, butternut squash, pumpkin… YUM YUM YUM! Oh and frozen green beans ROCK! Roast them in the oven with olive oil and salt, healthy healthy french fries!

Oh man…college cooking! Those were the days… ha. I could cook just about anything on a burner and in a microwave. When I finally had a full kitchen…I was so lost! 4 burners and an oven, what?

Ditto on the frozen veggies comment. I was the queen of veggie stirfries, pasta with veggies, etc. I’m not GF though so pasta was cheap.

Apples & bananas were my go-to as well as soy milk because it lasts so much longer in the fridge than cow’s milk and thus ends up being a better deal (because I don’t have to throw half of it out).

Frozen vegetables are my life saver. You don’t have to worry about cooking them before they go bad (I always end up freaking out about rapidly deteriorating produce at my apartment) and they’re really easy to zap in the microwave and throw into salads when you’re making lunches in the morning. The ones I always have on hand are: broccoli, peas, edamame, and corn.

Those are some great staples when on a budget. I also like cheap veggies and fruit. Bananas (at least for now) are especially inexpensive.
