Back in the late 80's I was laid off from GM for nearly 3 years. Bennies ran out after a few months leaving me to survive in the Flint, MI area that had 20% unemployment rate at that time. Money was tight!
One of my favorite "cheap" meals were homemade burritos. Made the tortillas from scratch, soaked some pinto beans overnight, a little beef if I could afford it, some onions, chopped lettuce. and tomatoes made for a meal that was quite filling and tasted great. Work intensive though, but I had plenty of time to waste.
Also remember a lot of rice and noodle dinners. Thankfully, those days are behind me, I hope!!
