Yes, but I might not enjoy it. You can get a LOT of beans and rice for $30 and that will keep you going, even get you fat.
But its pretty dull.

Nonsense. Ever hear of risotto? There are thousands of recipes for it with tons of different ingredients to mix in with the rice. And there are so many different kinds of beans, you can find tons of recipes for those, too, soups, salads, hummus, side dishes, entres, you name it. Free, too, look online.

You don’t have to eat dull to eat cheap. You just have to eat smart. Made kielbasa and kraut for dinner last night, maybe $15 worth of ingredients, made enough to make dinner for the wife and I and give me 2 lunches worth of leftovers, so about $3.75 a meal, and not a single grain of rice or a bean. And the great part about kraut is it steeps in storage, the leftovers are going to taste better than the original. Italian food is like that too, sauces always get better as they age.

Costco has rice $17 for 50 lbs. That’s enough to supply an average male all his caloric needs for well over a month.
