Work at a supermarket so do all my shopping each day after work little by little, i dont drive so whatever fits in my bag, most i buy is probably salad stuff, i dont have a budget i just treat myself to good food if it does not fuck with my savings

I get good discounts, any meal i want at the end of my shift and dont have to do hour long shopping trips.

Some people deglaze with wine. But he only mentioned turkey as a protein so yeah I dunno probably for drinking.

>buying water
>buying "snacks"
>buying things like bread or pasta instead of making your own

yikes.

I normally budget £70 a week for the two of us to cover breakfast, lunches and two spare dinners to freeze. I've been spending £90 a week recently because were being paid well at the minute.

Tinned tomatoes are essential, we eat at least 6 a week.
Bananas! One with breakfast every day.
Some kind of bean or pulse everyday, so usually about 6 cans does us.
Spinach too, canned for stews and curries and fresh for salad.
Almost always carrots to munch.
And enough frozen fruit to have with porridge in the morning everyday.
Also soy milk to make the porridge everyday and to make tea and coffee. Not vegan or anything, regular milk just always tastes rancid to me, soy doesn't taste off.
Chicken or turkey thighs almost always features in the list, we've cut down a lot on our meat consumption recently though so there are a lot of meat substitutes too.

I don't often go over, but when I do its usually because of buying extra spices, vinegars or the occasional bottle of wine...

>>9143735
I was with you until canned spinach.

Interested in hearing your regular bean/pulse dishes though.

>>9143159

>Packing Logistics

Anon, don't do this to me.

A shit load of tomatos. Im talkin at least 50.

Usually every week I will buy roma tomatoes, red onion, some type of pepper, garlic, and ginger which will beused to make a curry. Im not resting until I perfect this shit, and I have never even had an actual indians curry.

20-40 dollars a month

>eggs
>cheddar or colby-jack cheese
>tuna
>rice
are my weekly requirements

things that last longer but I still need to acquire on occasion:
>vegetable oil
>onion powder, cayenne pepper
>flour

every day i make one meal, usually around 'dinner time', a bowl of rice (1 cup cooked i think), with tuna patties made from tuna, flour, egg, spices and cheese

anything extra i have money wise usually goes to fried cheese curds or off-brand energy drinks

>>9145398
I used to live off tuna, ramen, onion, green peepers, and olde english malt liquor everyday. I began to in hale salt water through my nose. I didnt think that through, but I was also impoverished.

After that, it's random stuff on sale.

I spend about $100-$120 once every 3-5 weeks on a regular basis, but I stop by after work all the time, so that's not an accurate view of my general expenses. I eat out a lot, too.

Why purchase bags? You see, we can literally just carry the food from the car to the kitchen. You can also use empty paper boxes.

I get cheap food at the commissary

>commissary
I used to go to the commissary all the time until recently. The cuck running the commissary reduced the hours for nonseniors, so now when regular hours start, all the senior citizen retirees have emptied the place out of all the good cheap food.

I just browse the sales papers for the grocery stores now. Albertsons has had some pretty good meat deals lately. This fresh chicken breasts are 1.97/lb and 12oz of bacon is only 3.00. I just fill the freezer up.

Whatever looks good at the local Costco, then I improvise from there. If the local Costco doesn't have anything, it's an emergency visit to Sam's Club or I do a long drive to another Costco.
