    Lentils, chickpeas, quinoa. The latter is pricier, but has all the animo acids you need without meat in your diet, which is really, really pricey. Costco generally has 5lb bags in the $10 range if you have a membership.

      That’s called a “complete protein”, and many combinations of food result in complete protein, including rice and beans. Lentils and chickpeas is probably complete without the need for quinoa.
