Look for the Knorr sides in grocery store. There’s different flavored rice and noodles.. under $2.00 each and will break up the monotony. Also check for a day old bread section. Sometimes they’ll put some fruits with a tiny blemish or other things there because the box had been opened. You never know. Also look for a .99 aisle. I found one during pandemic. Good luck!

DIY Pizza.
You can use up left-over things by chopping them small and scattering the pieces around the surface of your pizza.
You can use up slices of stale bread as your base.
Your pizzas can be different every time.
Any bland topping can be jazzed up by adding spices.
Vegetables taste better smothered with nicely browned cheese topping.

Invest in a toasted sandwich maker, if you have not already got one. You can use up left-overs by making your own fillings for toasted sandwiches.
Mississippi Chicken in the crockpot!
- 3-4 chicken breasts. (Depending on size)
- 1 packet of dry ranch seasoning.
- 1 packet of au jus gravy.
- 1/2 stick of butter. (Cut in squares.)
- 6-8 jarred pepperoncini peppers or banana peppers. (Add however many you like).
I also add a little bit of juice from the jar too. But that's optional.
Put in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours.
Serve over mashed potatoes.
You can also do the same with a chuck roast. Same ingredients/same amount. Just different meat.
It's a huge hit in my house! My kids even love it.
