Does anyone here actually live off of rice and beans?

Is beans and rice the cheapest most acceptable meal for poverty? If not what is?

Let's get a poverty thread going. What do you fellow poorfags eat? I've been living on a tight budget lately, and am trying to still eat very healthy.
My diet mainly consists of rice, legumes, leafy greens and fish/cheese/nuts I can find for cheap. As for fruits, I mainly eat oranges, bananas and pears.
Is this diet good enough to remain healthy?

Use this thread to share any cheap as fuck recipes, tips, whatever.

I made faux Chili Sin Carne yesterday, which was pretty good and cost me approx. 1 euro

- 1 can of red kidney beans
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 5 cloves of garlic
- Chili Peppers (I used Sambal Oelek instead, which is just ground peppers and salt anyway)
- Splash of cheap red wine
- Some oil/butter
- Spices: salt, pepper, cumin
- Cup of wholegrain rice

Boil water for rice.
Rinse beans.
Dice onion, garlic and peppers. Fry garlic on medium heat in a pan. Add peppers and stir untill you have a nice garlic-chili mix.
Add onions and brown. When brown, add tomatoes. Simmer for a bit, then add splash of red wine. When reduced, add beans and spices, let it simmer a 10 minutes.

Voila, cheap and full of flavour.
