Gallo pinto Rice and black beans. ( Costa Rican breakfast…served with couple of fried soft eggs …served with bread or tortillas. Some also serve with sliced advocate or plantain. Very cheap and nutritious.
And of course lovely coffee
EDIT…About $3-$5

When I lived downtown I had a wicked Indian market with all the fixings. Also cilantro was .99 a bunch instead of this 3.99 bullshit at the grocery.

What!
I just bought two bunches yesterday for a chilli I made yesterday…9 cents here and I got a 20% discount. (Wedensday is 20% discount on veg)
One thing I can’t eat here …is Mondongo…it’s a favorite here and the rest of Central America…it’s a soup made with tripe and other offal…and I can’t eat it…the smell is enough.
Notice the price of a bottle of Ron Abuello $7.25 at the top.

I know. It’s a sad joke. Grocery chains here are also known to raise their prices in affluent areas because they know people will pay it.
It’s disgusting.
They put it in plastic and pretend it’s made of gold.
Also that rum would be $35 here.

It’s a lovely rum…ye things are cheaper here by far,than the Europe or US.
Was a big factor on me moving here perminent ,
my pension wouldn’t support me well in the Uk, certainly wouldn’t be able to buy so much alcohol LOL

No idea where you are, but check this out for my area. I just thought it was funny…
Your Recept says “Fresco” ( probably the name brand ) and a grocery store in my area called
" Freshco " … Either way you have a great deal at your price

$1.25 is better Than the $3.99 @Foreigner is paying.
Fresco… Is Spanish for fresh.

Back to eating again this week after another fasting session, its been a struggle visiting this thread this week.
So started the breakfast with frozen raspberries, yoghurt and cream, to get the gut bacteria active again.
Then went straight into a mild but beautifully flavoured curry. A vegetable and cashew Shadey special, no recipe, or measurements just through all my fav ingredients and spices in and it came out amazing, shame I probably won’t be able to duplicate it again 
but it will be fun trying.
