I’ve always been kind of primitive when it comes to cooking beans. For cheap meals, I like blacked-eyed peas or red beans, cooked with onions, garlic, other seasonings, and lots of ham or sausage, over rice, preferably brown rice.
Geez. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Don’t get to do it, ‘cause the kids won’t eat it. Hmph.
One of these days, I’m going make real “Boston Baked Beans” just for me and my wife.
Anyways the meat ingredients can cut into that $30 per week real fast. Most non-processed, non-luxury food is pretty cheap, but meat, even turkey, is always pretty expensive. GOOD meat (or sausage!) gets expensive fast. Even bacon ain’t cheap.
Also my wife doesn’t like risotto so I haven’t tried it much. I’ll try it next time I see it at restaurant.
Is that $30 for one person for one week, or $30 for a family of four? I mean, if we’re talking $120 for family of four for a week, we are not talking about a challenge. Sometimes it seems like the more you have to feed, the cheaper it is per person...
Looks like it’s per person per week. Which really ain’t tough at all. Of course like all libs he has to make it sound hard and immediately runs for the bland food.
When you’re feeding more people you can buy bulkier food. In general the larger the package the cheaper per ounce, so yeah it does get cheaper per person.
Isn't that the truth? That's almost $500 a month for groceries for a family of four. Even if you had two teenaged boys, you could swing that.
Just scramble the eggs and water the soup, that's what my grandpa always said when another kid was born into our family.
