Ate rice and beans for 9 days straight and day 6 was rough

I was trying to get my grocery bill under $25 for the week so I made a huge pot of rice and beans on a Sunday, and by day 6 I was eating it cold straight from the container because I couldn't look at another bowl of it hot. The weird part is day 7 tasted amazing again, like my taste buds just gave up fighting. Anyone got a cheap way to change up beans so it doesn't feel like the same meal every night?

Something that saved me was grabbing a bunch of those little $1 spice packets from the Mexican aisle at Walmart. Smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, the cheap ones. Night one I'd do cumin and chili, night two I'd add a can of Rotel or some salsa, night three I'd fry an egg on top and call it breakfast for dinner. Even just switching from hot sauce to soy sauce and a little sesame oil makes it feel like a whole different meal. Also frozen veggies are like a dollar a bag and tossing those in changes the texture so much. Day 6 is rough no matter what though, you're not crazy for that.
