I fed my family of 3 dinners for $17 total over 5 days at Dollar Tree, and my wife says that's cheap but sad, so who's right?

Being cheap and sad can both be true at the same time. My wife and I did the Dollar Tree thing for a month straight when money got tight. Rice, beans, frozen veggies, eggs, and whatever canned stuff looked decent. It kept us fed but by week three we were both grumpy and tired of the same meals. We started hitting a local food bank once a week too, and that helped way more than pinching pennies at one store. You're right that $17 for 5 days is cheap, but she's not wrong that it wears on you. Maybe mix in a cheaper grocery run so you get more variety without blowing the budget.
