Soups Up Sunday: Cheap easy daily

So, normally me and my friends make a nice dinner on Sundays and I could share that with you but, I went to my Granddads today because I got back from Moscow/Honolulu this past week and haven't seen him for a few months. But since I had no food when I came back and I also had hardly any money this gives me a chance to recommend what to eat on a regular basis for really cheap.

First of all: PEANUT BUTTER!  Peanut butter is really filling and also not that bad for you. It is great on some toast - I personally like mine on rye bread which is like 20 cents more expensive but also tastes loads better and tends to have more vitamins that you need.

So, this is how my diet went for the past week (I've been living out of a suitcase, sleeping on a lovesack, at my friends apt).

Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Peanut Butter on Rye
Snack: Banana
Dinner: Soup

I like to eat bananas because I have this awful fear of getting a potassium deficiency. My older brother got one while I was a freshman in high school and its awful and now I'm terrified of getting one. Plus bananas are pretty cheap and delicious. Soup is also great because you can get it for a dollar or two and then you just heat it up (or add water and heat it up, depends on the soup).

Now, I moved into my new apartment Friday night and then I spent the day with C and her family working in the garden and I finally got to go grocery shopping last night. But, while I have more space for food I'm still lacking in the money department.

Here is what I got as essentials:
Eggs
Bell Peppers
More Bananas
More Oatmeal
More Rye Bread
More Soup
Cinnamon  (for my oatmeal!)
Oregano
Garlic Salt
Onion Bits
Paprika (they were having a 5 spices for $5 deal, and I had no spices!)
Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Milk Mix (ok, this was a splurge but its how I get my good amount of calcium)

Then since a bunch of my roommates are going home for the summer, they left me some food:
3/4 jug of milk
12 cans of canned chicken breasts
Peanuts
Truvia (actually I had bought this before I left for Moscow and no one ate it)
Jello Pudding (x3)

So, I think I'll do pretty good this week. I can't post until I go back to campus because my camera requires wifi to post pics and I haven't set up a router in my house yet. I'm just using an Ethernet cable.

But, trust me, y'all can't wait until Whatever Wednesday to see all the stuff I got tonight because my granddad was cleaning out his house and so are all the college kids that are going home. So, I got some really great vintage stuff for free and also some cool and WTF and useful stuff that needs to be super cleaned.

Hope you have a great day tomorrow,
Wish me luck on my two job interviews (I need a job!),
