What's old is new again ... the underrated, overlooked, yet faithful standby: the peanut butter sandwich. Made with wholegrain bread, and using 2 tablespoons (30g) of Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter (it has the lowest fat and highest protein content per $), this sandwich costs 2 x $0.1326 + $0.1197 = $0.3849 and boasts 450 calories, 17g of protein, 6g of fibre, NO cholesterol, and 21g of fat (of which only 4g is saturated "bad" fat). Using Country Harvest 12-grain bread we also get omega-6 and omega-3, and the sandwich gives you at LEAST 20% of the RDA of the following nutrients:
- Niacin
- Folate
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Thiamine
- Vitamin E
Breakfast: Peanut butter sandwich, 1 cup coffee $0.55
Lunch: Mixed salad greens with dressing, the other can of Mike's Beeferoni (free!), apple, 2 cups coffee $1.48

Snack: Peanut butter sandwich, tea, 1 can baked beans, 2 slices bread with margarine $1.39
