Eating Healthy on a Budget: Sandwiches

In keeping with the theme from yesterday's post, today, I am going to focus on another classic cheap and easy go-to for lunch (or dinner).

To avoid eating the same thing all the time, I have begun to make a list of some healthy, cheap meals that we all can make {and eat} over and over again, without getting bored.
