Eggs are a lot of protein for the money. $3 for an 18-egg pack.
If she's young, don't worry too much. I was very poor when young. They can go w/o much food easier than older people. I couldn't afford meat. I lived on canned green beans for a while. It's part of being young and on your own. Young people don't make much $.
