Tried a $7 potato-only meal plan for 5 days, totally surprised

I thought it'd get boring fast but after 12 different potato recipes from a library cookbook I actually saved $38 on groceries this week, anyone else found one cheap ingredient that holds up that well?

Wait, did the potatoes actually hold up or did you just get creative with salt and butter? I mean, that's kind of the catch with cheap ingredients, right? Rice does the same for me, but after day 4 I'm basically eating it with my eyes closed. Potatoes at least let you mash, roast, or slice them thin, so there's some variety. I'm impressed you made it five days without a single sad instant potato packet. Maybe it's just me, but the real win here is finding that one cookbook that actually pays for itself.
