A few days ago, a friend of mine (hi  [profile] eldercat! )  was talking to me about this show where two adults and their eight kids eat on $150/week and how boggled he was at that.  And I was like "Seriously?"  And went into low-cost meal planning, throwing ideas out to feed a family of 10 in a pretty nutritious and cheap way.

Now see, the thing is, durimg the time I was 19-28, I was continually broke (getting rid of my ex, and his salary, actually made it all better, but that's another story).  During part of that time we were living on a mattress in a friend's dining room, and other deeply annoying places.  

Anyways, I've eaten so much cheap-ass food that my tolerance is really low.  I will never again be able to eat any of the following more than once or twice a year:

Box macaroni and cheese
Ramen
Cool-aid (generic)
Cheap-ass kielbasa
Those cheap rice or pasta mixes that come in a bag
Bologna
Jarred pasta sauce (except the kind you get at Central Market that runs like $5/jar, god I'm a snob)

So I started thinking of ways to make cheap food that doesnt look or taste cheap.


Oh, buying your own fresh mushrooms in bulk instead of pre-packed, pre-sliced is about half the price and eliminates getting the styrofoam box that the recycle place near us doesn't take.

And I don't use the canned tomato that comes with the garlic and basil and whatever because 1) wow. Expensive and 2) Um, I didn't ask them to put freakin' corn syrup in my tomato mix.  Fuckers.
