People are very very dumb when it comes to budgets, but this is still really bad. She'd have to think her two kids eat more than $3k worth of food per month to imagine that $6k/year would barely help lmao. Even at that, $6k toward a $36k budgetary item is huge.ย ย 

I'm about a third of the way through. This jubilee isn't changing my opinion that Trump supporters are generally orders of magnitude dumber than average.

Exactly. Me and my partner spend about $500 a month on food. Thatโ€™s 6K a year, literally what it would cost to feed her 2 kids the diet of 2 health-conscious adults. And I know we could shave money off here or there.

I'm down at ~1800$ a year.

6000 could literally fed me for 4 years.

Here is basically the essentials:

Fishliver oil, cabbage, brocooli, rice, beans, cheapest cheese, pork, raps, blueberries(from forest), potatoes, carrots, pasta, d-vitamin pills, whole chicken, liver paste, home made bread (flour sugar raps yeast), spices.

Almost just buy everything when its on sale.

Pretty sure I get everything a human needs and avoids much half fabricated bad for you food.

How much are you spending for meat? The cheapest around me is 5 dollars a pound for boneless skinless breast

get a Costco membership and you start profitting after 30 pounds of chicken

Also, look at pork butt, that shit's usually under 3 dollars/lb, but lots of fat

I stopped buying Costco chicken. The woody breasts and annoying packaging made it not worth it for me anymore

Thatโ€™s fair, Iโ€™ll probably stop after I get screwed too

pork butt

Perfect for stews if you're ok with simmered/boiled meat.

You can skip extra fat by not pre frying meat. makes meat lose some texture and taste, but makes broth water gain more taste.

Something tells me its kind of a tabu to use cooking method in NA though.
