[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be the voice of dissent and say i think you’re doing great at 1200 a month or 13 dollars a day per person for all meals (does that figure include household goods like paper products?)

I wouldn’t try to cut it more because then you are veering into eating so cheap that you end up eating really unhealthfully, e.g starchy carb upon carb like potato soup with day old bread and a slice of american “cheese.”

I guess you could also ask yourself what your time is worth and start doing things like baking your own bread, making your own beans from dry, buy dry milk and reconstitute it, go without for yourself, buy the cheapest coffee and drink it black, make sloppy joes with lentils instead of meat, look for the marked down dented cans at the back of the store, etc. but again? What is your time worth?

I have to tell you, it is 2024, food prices are up 40% from where they were in 2019. It
Is a different world where your old 99 cent/lb ground beef is now 4 dollars/lb if your lucky.

I would concentrate on eating healthfully, less so on pinching pennies, becauee you pay for your diet, one way or another. Save money now, get diabetes later.[/quote]
