    Honestly, how?

    We can buy a few raw ingredients and easily hit $80 unless we only buy SNAP foods.

      I’m going to real, I don’t know how. I thought that this was kind of normal. Usually I eat a lot of produce, yogurt, and dried beans. I also have a garden. I’m trying to avoid processes foods and breads.

        I recently moved to the south and have noticed that food was 40% cheaper in the north where I originated.

        We don’t have a garden but have started one in hopes to cut the costs a bit. And started our first sourdough this weekend so hopefully we can achieve the same.

          Ooh let me know how that goes. I wanted to try my hand at sour dough myself.

          I do have a garden, Kale and collard greens grows year round which is nice. My recommendation for gardening is potato, Kale, Collard Greens, Tomato, Fresh Herbs, Squash, peppers.

          Some interesting adds are prickly pear cactus, Yarrow, Rose, dandelion.

          Plant with redundancy in mind, some plants fail.
