So try this for a good quick meal. Get you some deli sliced meats for the meat then a can of cranberry sauce for the dressing …cheap so far…then fix a box of Stove Top dressing and a box of Rice a Roni…a quick cheap meal that is filling and tastes great!

May taste great but it will kill you.

2 carbs, a sugary fruit (making it 3 carbs) and high nitrite protein. Plus each component is highly processed and loaded with sodium.

Celery, carrots, and onion are all 3 cheap and are the basics for a lot of recipes (the trinity subs garlic and bell pepper but dem pepper spensive). Cheap cuts of meat from the quick sale bin chopped up (or ground if you have a grinder) off brand frozen mixed veggies and dollar store spices can make for good eats.

BTW, the dark cuts of beef in the quick sale bin??? It’s wet aged beef, similar to the dry aged beef they openly charge extra for at restaurants.

That’s a good idea. One thing I’m fond of is making a large bowl of chicken salad. Can have a sandwich, or with fruit as a snack, or on top of greens for a salad. Lasts for a while if I freeze some too.

You mean quality?


Yep. I got a burger seasoning and Chicago steak seasoning and neither had any taste.

Being broke and/or starvation will take you out a lot faster. Also worrying about everything you put in your mouth to a fault. Sure you might live a couple more years but are you really living ?

Trader Joe's



I hate this fricking place. I went there for the first time in a long time a few weeks ago just to pick up one thing. Is it me or does everyone seemed depressed in there? But of hippies.

This statement doesn’t negate the previous statement. All food prices (I’m assuming) have increased over the past few years. Both of you seemingly agreed to this.
