He’s a Democrat. Do you expect him to know anything about how to spend money in a productive manner?
This is how I shop on a shoestring 21 dollar a WEEK budget.
BTW, I buy 15 dollars of food per MONTH to feed myself.
1 bag of masa corn meal 1$
Chili powder: 1 dollar per bottle.
1 bag of frijoles pintos. $2.50
1 lb bag of rice: $.89
Corn tortillas: 89 cents.
3 bags of rice noodles: 2 dollars
1 bottle of chicken bullion: 1 dollar
1 pack of teabags (Drinking iced tea so I can kick the habit of drinking pop) .69 cents.
1 box of macaroni 80 cents.
For vegetation, I grow my own dandelion salads. But in the cold winter, where produce is a premium in Minnesota, I usually get dandelion leaves cheap, or I eat dehydrated seaweed. which I can get for about 2-3 dollars a package.
For protein, I usually buy chicken leg quarters or I buy soymeal. Soymeal costs around 2 bucks a pound where I live. I buy 2 pounds.
But then again, he’s liberal. I’m conservative. Notice a correlation on how much more I got with less money?
Wow!!!! That is so impressive. You are truly a role model on how to eat well on a budget. I am trying to figure out how you can eat 90 meals or so on this group of foods. I definitely feel I am wasteful and spend too much money now. I think that for a family of five I now spend 470 dollars a month and that does not include eating out. Well the kids are about to get a rude awakening. lol. Good job seriously!!!!!
And by the way, you notice why all these poor welfare recipients are fat?
It’s because they’re used to eating crap. One day, I was eating some mock duck I got from a neighborhood Thai deli with rice noodles and bean sprouts while I had a cup of homemade lemon and ginger iced tea.
Some welfare recipient hip hop type kids saw I was eating something with chopsticks. The fuckers were harassing me for my food. They were about to steal my food and my drink until I told them what the food consisted of.
I asked “You know what mock duck and bean sprouts are and do you like lemon ginger iced tea?” The inner city kids said “Naww, foo’ dat sounds nasty”.
They thought I was eating some greasy fried rice and coca cola.
By the way, to any Minnesota freepers around, we should plan a trip to I94 leading from Wisconsin to Minnesota and shoot every Illinois license plate that crosses the border. I have a strange feeling that these kids were FIB welfare leeches.
