My uncle bet me $20 I couldn't feed 4 people on $10 and I learned more from losing

Back in March my uncle watched me blow $40 on takeout for just myself and bet me $20 I couldn't cook for 4 people on $10 at the Aldi on 5th. I lost that bet on the first try because I bought fresh chicken like an idiot instead of eggs, rice and frozen veg, and he just laughed and said 'you buy what looks nice, not what feeds people.' So what's the one swap that made the biggest difference in your grocery bill, because eggs and dried beans carried me way further than I ever expected?
