My partner and I are both 22 and use ebt, but some things happened and we’re only getting 65$ for this month until we can go in and hopefully get this fixed. I am honestly pretty worried since normally we have around 400$ and its more than enough for food and other treats
I am running low on everything in my kitchen, I have some ingredients but nothing to cook them with, items I already plan on buying are; potatoes, onions, pasta, rice. But I need some meal ideas, preferably ones that will give us leftovers for a few days. Its such a huge jump going from 100$ a week for groceries to 20$ and I need some tips on how to work around it.
Any meals that last a while will be helpful! I do need to restock on meats but I honestly dont know what to make so if anyone has suggestions that’d be great!!
Need ideas for my food budget for two adults

Rice and lentils and different sauces and add in veggies.
Ground turkey is usually the cheapest and you can use them to make casseroles or stews with your pasta, rice, potatoes, etc. A bag of chicken thighs can be a good deal too. Also a tub of oats and you can make oatmeal in the mornings to fill you up.
Do you have a pressure cooker/instant pot so you can cook dried beans (for beans and rice dishes)?
