Rice and beans 5 days straight finally broke me last Tuesday

I got paid Friday and had $12 left after bills. Made a big pot of rice with canned black beans and it lasted thru Monday. By Tuesday night I couldn't look at another bowl so I scraped together $1.50 for a bag of frozen broccoli and threw it in with some soy sauce I had. Honestly tasted like a whole new meal. Anyone else hit a wall with the same cheap meal over and over?

Hit that wall hard a few months back. Had a stretch where I was eating plain pasta with butter every night for nearly two weeks. Finally I had a leftover can of diced tomatoes and a handful of frozen spinach. Threw it all in the pan with some garlic powder and it was like a whole different dish. It's amazing what a tiny twist can do. Just that little change can make you feel human again.

Felt that @drew_grant52, I threw frozen peas and an egg in my ramen one night and felt like a gourmet chef.
