Rice and beans are good since they play off each other nutritionaly(sp).
I like where your head is at… in my household we think we are insulated, but I’m so scared.
My mother had a nightmare about running out of food. Being down to a final slice of pizza, and having the grandbaby ask for it.
Things in the news.
I haven’t had nightmares, but I am scared.
Having a finance background; appreciating stocks(equities)(which is just a greed and fear type thing) hurts/kills me.
I’ve got to change.
It’s just that I like a hobby with some consequence. It’d be difficult to take up knitting or gardening. I guess I should read more.
I see I’ve had my coffee, I’m gonna curb it here.
How’s your morning, Leafer?

I lived on fried local potatoes and coffee while being on relief and making car payments. The doc found nothing wrong with my blood work so it must have been sufficient.

Ramen, some frozen veggies- walmart has them $1 a bag. Some soy sauce. I make my own ramen, but you can dress up i stant ramen with soy sauce and frozen veggies easy. If you jave eggs, boil one, slice in half, and put in rhe ramen.
Rice can be dressed up, too. Cook it in chicken broth instead of water.
Instant mashed potatoes- you can add stuff or you can mix in an egg, a bit of flour,and chopped onion and fry potato cakes.
Flour- you can make tortilla, Native fry bread, and basic muffins. The first two can be made with flour, salt, and water. A little vegetable oil to fry.
Check all the scratch and dent area, clearan e areas, and produce that I s past prime. Meats are sometimes marked way down.

I find it hard to recommend something, because what works here, may not work there. Here…
- Buy large discount bags of rice, potatoes and flour to bake bread or pancakes in a cheap supermarket.
- Farmers or farmers markets often sell cheap veggies. Local and of the season. I’d go just before the closing of the market, when they get rid of everything cheaper.
- Supermarkets and apps sell almost-over-the-date stuff with high discounts every day.
- Eat less fish and meat. Buy cans of cheap fish. Or cheap fish at a market. I saw they also have fish skeletons to make fish soup. May still have the benefits, without the high price.
- Big bags of apples are cheap here, for vitamins.
When I was really out of money, I’d often eat soup with bread. Or pancakes. Or bread with cheap-brand-nutella. Or pasta with tomato sauce. I’d always try get some veggie/fruit though. You want to stay a bit healthy, if you can, for being unhealthy also costs.

The cost of eggs has gone up but you can still get cheap eggs. Just check the date for a couple weeks out and eat a few eggs a week. Canned tuna, beans, rice, frozen veggies. Just like everyone else said
