I usually shop sales, clip coupons and buy in quantity. I also shop often at discount grocers such as Aldis or Bottom Dollar. Sure, food is expensive, but you can still get a decent meal at home for a lot less than at a restaurant. And you can control what's in your meal too.
Lunch today was Ramen noodles made into food by the addition of pork roast leftovers and fresh veggies.
I do the same thing, but I have four other mouths to feed.
I’ll make a 25-pound oval-shaped three-inch think brick of lasagna in my turkey pot, cut it into portions, and it’ll keep for months.
NOMS!
