My uncle said beans and rice would cut my grocery bill in half, and he was right

Honestly I brushed him off when he said it at a family thing in Fresno back in March, because it sounded like the most boring advice ever. Ngl I finally tried it and my grocery run dropped from about $140 a week to $75, mostly because I stopped buying meat for half my dinners. Been doing rice, canned beans, and whatever veggies are marked down at the store near my place. Anyone got a favorite cheap way to change up the flavor so I don't get sick of it by week six?
