College was affordable on my meager food income budget by buying dented cans and day old bread at A&P
Splurging was buying live lobsters from the Cameron Village Colonial Store at 7:00 Saturday evenings when they were marked down to near $0
as i can walk to the food store and do a lot of the cooking i always check the discounted meat and seafood sections(used meat as i call it) to see if there is anything i might want. i can get a nice steak for 1/3 off and some shrimp and cook them the same day. also get day old bread and donuts. at home i tend to go by look and smell. if it looks or smells even a little iffy it’s gone. buy a lot of “store brand” too.
