I posted something similar on another thread. A #10 bag of potatoes can be had for $1.49 at our Aldi. A #1bag of rice or beans is under one dollar at Walmart. A generic #5 bag of flour or sugar is just under $2.50 each. A container of whole oats is cheaper than, lasts longer than, and is more nutritious than a box of cereal. if I had to feed all five of us (granted baby girl is only six weeks old) for $10/day I could.
At Sam’s you can get 5 13 oz. cans of white meat chunk chicken for 9.95. We mix it with brown rice and add it to IAM’s dog food for my 11 yro blue heeler who had a pancreas problem 6 years ago. The chicken can be utilized many ways to add protein to a diet, my sister in law uses it for chicken salad.
You can also get a nice package of 4-6 pork steaks for the price of a pack of cigarettes.
No sympathy from me if he would rather burn his money than eat his money.
