Awesome post. Another tip I've used before is to buy a really big container of high quality protein powder that has lots of supplemental vitamins/minerals. Makes for a nice quick meal if you're super busy, and can help satisfy any cravings for those with a sweet tooth.

When I've done this, I can usually get a large number of meals replaced in one container with a cost per meal between $2-4.

I did essentially this for quite a while to save money. >50% of my daily meals consisted of whey protein in water and peanut butter. Not exactly the most balanced diet, but it sure saved me a ton of cash.

You can also mix with water rather than milk which saves you additional costs and calories.

If we were living off protein powder and water, we would have REALLY been looking forward to the cheat days ;-)
