So be it. Just out of curiousity, I went shopping at my ACME (on-line)
and here's what I "came home" with. Not much variety. Sure the sac o'
potatoes would probably last more than a week and some other items less
AND I didn't shop around.
I do shop around, Andy. I shop the sales. I don't buy meat unless it
is on sale. I have boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the freezer
that I got when they were $1.49/pound. The chicken thighs that I also
have in there, I got when they were about 49 cents/pound. I stocked
up then.
Yesterday, I went to the market next door. They had eggplants on sale
for 77cents each. I got one. The green peppers were 2/$1. I got
two.
I rarely ever buy bags of any vegetables. Certainly not potatoes, or
onions. I buy those from the bulk bins, so I can choose which ones I
want. Plus then, I only buy what I need.
A lot of foods I buy in bulk bins. Saves a ton of money. I don't buy
stuff like grape jelly, or wonder bread. If need be, I can bake my
own bread.
Surviving, and even eating well on a budget like this can be done, I
think. It may be peasant cuisine, but hey..peasant cuisine can be
really good.
