Beans are cheap as
beans.
Almost never eat meat as its less and less appetizing anyway
I live in the state with the highest food costs in the country.
We dont waste. Starbucks is a once a year thing if that. Coffee from home is just fine. The grounds go right in the garden.
We have been trained to be treated like profit centers. I am following in my great grandmothers footsteps and providing as much as I can for myself and my neighbors. I admit its small but I need less and less.
The vegetables I do have to buy a cheap. I shop around the outside perimeter of the grocery store and I skip the whole meat section, now milk too.
Speaking of, oat milk is great and coffee as a milk substitute and it is super cheap to make at home.
