Oatmeal!
I lived on it for a time when I was left alone after my parents died.

It’s really cheap if you buy it in bulk. If it’s a good week, add some cheap grape jelly or the extra sugar packets you get when you dig change and buy a coffee.

HA!

I am doing OK economically right now (praise God), but I am sure the next crisis in my life is right around the corner! But, old habits die hard.

I just bought two huge cans of oatmeal at the market the other day (store brand too, they are cheaper!).

I tried these new "blueberry raisins" with it - very good, and not too much $$$.
