Over here in the Philippines, we call it “dynamite” and it happens to be my favorite streetfood snack. They’re basically deep-fried chilis that are stuffed with cheese and sliced ham then wrapped in spring roll wrappers.

Simple and cheap sandwich of pastrami, prosciutto, lettuce, and mayo on rye bread. Ketchup chips optional but a Canadian staple. Bag of extra lettuce, also optional.

Made the “2 dollar burrito” from Joshua Weismann’s YT channel/website. Absolutely flavorful and inexpensive to make. Recommend checking out his “But Cheaper” series for inexpensive tasty dishes. Recipe in the comments.

Sourdough bread, 2 eggs cooked about over medium. I already ate the toasted bread rounds with jelly so they're not in the Pic. What do you call these?

Total came out to $66.52, this will last my boyfriend and I about 1 week. If we were to do a bigger shop, it would still be under $100 and last us 2 weeks! If you haven't tried Aldis, this is your sign :)
