“You’ve got no food?” You have great food! My fridge looks like that. My teenage daughter once said, “There’s no food in here…nothing but ingredients!” Yep, I COOK. 😂😂😂
So smart 👍🏼
"Nothing but ingredients" 😂😂❤ tshirt printed!
Yes, make what you have from scratch, instead of already made expensive foods.❤ Prepping and planning ❤ stretching ❤
My refrigerator looks like that ❤😂❤
My fridge is the same too. Myself & my teen daughter. 😊
You’re amazing. I recently bought and read your book. I implemented your advice on cell phone, eating out, insurance, cutting cable, saving on energy bills. I’ve already saved $394 in less than a month! I am starting to feel more confident and I no longer feel the pressure to go along with coworkers who are constantly ordering food, going to Starbucks, buying expensive clothes and makeup or going out for drinks. I’m still going to go out for girls nights and things but very occasionally now. It was just adding up to be too much. I’m going to parks now, watching Roku, reading books from the library and watching cooking videos on you tube. I am picking up Possum Living tonight after work that the library has on hold for me. And it isn’t just the money I saved, but my stress levels have already improved SO much. I feel so much better having a plan and following through with it. I can’t thank you enough. I have a lot of respect for you.
One of my favorite meals is...bake cornbread, put chili on top and then shredded or sliced monterey jack. Put back in oven until cheese melted....fantastic!
Just switched to MINT mobile because of you…cut my monthly bill by $20 …. That’s $240 a year. Thanks prepper princess ❤
I make my own frozen dinners. I cook four servings, eat two and freeze two. After awhile, I have a nice stash built up. When I don't want to cook, I pull out a meal from the freezer.
As someone who came from a poor family, I love that you keep the meals SIMPLE! I do as well. My family is the same way. Although our fridge is definitely more full because we're feeding 4 humans and 4 animals!
More people need to realize that we are eating HUGE portions when we shouldn't be! Portion sizes are killing the budgets and our bodies are paying the additional cost!
The challenge for some people is they don't live in an area where they can grow their own produce or pick citrus for free. I'm in one room above a storefront with no yard, balcony, patio or window sill. But I have plenty of food and eat well because I know how to shop and cook. I also dilute/cut foods and reduce portion sizes. I've lived on as little as $100 per month for food in the past but I allow myself a little more now since I'm totally debt-free.
Apples 49 cents per pound. Carrots 69 cents per pound. Potatoes 98 cents per pound. It’s not expensive to eat fruit and vegetables.
Wow! Cheapest apples in our area are $1.29/lb. Potatoes .59 cents/lb in 10 lb sack. Carrots .80 cents/lb in 5 lb sack.
When I lived in an apartment in the middle of town, I couldn't grow my own food...but I could walk to the farmer's market every Saturday. Specifically, I would get there the last half hour...they would practically give stuff to me because they didn't want to haul it back home, where it would go bad. I had more fresh produce than I could eat, so I learned to can, dehydrate, and freeze!
When u do shop for fruits, maybe ur option is to dehydrate or freeze dry. Consider investing in one or both of those machines
On a fixed income and I have found a way to live on 124 a month groceries. Yes I get help from my garden in the backyard and my citrus trees and my grapevines
My Dad has been in the hospital for 9 days. After 2 days I would run home and meal prep for a couple of hours and go back to the hospital. The cafeteria is so bad and expensive. My meals are about $1.50 each except for breakfast that runs about 75c. I take my little shoulder cooler with the frozen cooler bags up there and eat 3 great meals everyday. Dad's meals are furnished.
Here in Bosnia the most of the food is outside the fridge - we keep fruits, veggies, dried pasta and cans in cool pastry, so the fridge contains leftovers and non-vegan stuff like dairy, eggs and meat. Try incorporating kale, cabbage and leak in a diet - very cheap veggies that can make stews and soups. And sardines in oil, they are the cheapest meals...
Yes
This Saturday is Stamp Out Hunger for USPS. If you put your unwanted foods out on your porch the letter carrier will pick it up for local food banks.
Portions are so important when stretching meals. It helps so much with stretching every buck!
I love taking leftovers and making tv dinners from those and freezing for later! They are so nice to have when you are pressed for time and need a quick meal!
I always hear your voice saying " make do with what ya got" when I'm tempted to buy something that I don't necessarily need.
Thanks, Princess!
Thanks, Princess!
Yes, over the last year, I have turned most leftovers into either 'bowl' style meals or burritos, that often get eaten for lunches.
We're constantly cutting our cost of living. No more meat purchases, just hunting and fishing licenses and supplies. Meat has gotten way too expensive. I make my own cleaning supplies, dont buy paper products, etc. Ill be making our own bread and vinegar. I cut the use of laundry soap way down, etc. I can't eat cheese. We're weeding out processed foods. Your fridge, freezer, and cupboards are quite full for a single person.
Farmers markets are 3-4 times as much as the grocery store in Southern California except lemons which are 3 or 4 for $1. They all claim organic but not so sure about that. One stand has apples for $3.50 per lb!
Do you plan on showing us your garden as it grows and produces veggies? Do you think you will ever plant berry bushes, a grape vine, or different fruit trees? I imagine your climate would be great for growing almost anything you like. It would be so cool to grow all your own fruits and veggies.
At holidays when invited to my family dinners, they want to toss the carcass of the turkey. Instead I ask if I can have it and I take it home and either freeze it or make a soup right away. Also right after the holiday often times the turkey and hams are on sale. Thank you Prepper Princess!
My frigerator is always full because I don't throw out leftovers. I eat everything up.
You don't need to defend yourself. You are not wasteful and that is what really matters.
Thank you for updating g us on your fridge and pantry. Your oranges are beautiful.
You are a great example for frugality ❤
800 euro (europe) per month for 4 adults. Prepare all meals at home, I usually prepare soup or sauce/vedgetables for two meals and put one portion in the freezer. Only buy seasonal fruits and vegetables. Once a week to the store and I make sure that nothing is wasted. I figure out all the discounts of 3 supermarkets and make a healthy menu for a week or two. I do my groceries by bike.
Foodprices have skyrocketed last year, gas and fuelprices are insane. Many people are struggling to get around.
I asked my family. They spend at least 1.000 euro's on groceries every month.
A friend told me all I eat are tacos, but I actually just bought ground beef and made that my food for the week as a way to keep costs low and have meat.
I don't want to cook new meals daily.
I keep it in the pots and assemble as I go, I eat what I feel like put the rest away.
your self-discipline around food and meals is impressive. I've recently lost weight and the biggest difference was literally portion sizes and only eating when hungry (versus bored, stressed, happy, etc).
Excellent
Make chile casserole. Put chile in baking dish and mix up your corn bread mix pour on top of chile and bake it. Makes more servings and you can freeze it.
That sounds delicious. Like a chili shepherd’s pie.
It's very easy to eat on next to nothing. One of my favs is a can of skipjack tuna and pasta with some dressing. Tuna cost about $1, and pasta maybe $ .50. For a less than $2 for the bulk of my daily food, with a later snack, I eat for less than $3 per day, or less than $100 per month, and that's Canadian dollars!
I love how Rockie got up from the floor so he could sit when you asked Nalla to sit. Cuties. Thanks for what you do. Joi
Looks like you are making meals the way my mom did in the 1960s and 70s. Mostly homemade, small portions and no packaged snack foods or packaged desserts.
Your fridge looks exactly like mine. I absolutely refuse to waste food and I’m frugal when it comes to buying food mainly because I’m always rotating a huge supply of canned goods.
Honestly one of your best videos. I truly believe if people could understand these concepts they would be less stressed about inflation as it relates to food. Thank you.
Love when you show us your meal preps. Keep them coming.
I found your channel recently and I really appreciate your content. I’m 25 and trying to be more frugal to save for the future, I feel anxious about the state of things today and it’s always better to be prepared. Thanks for what you’re doing❤
if half and half goes on sale you can freeze it in ice cube trays and then use as needed
That's a great idea!
You have plenty of meals in your fridge. People are just not used to cooking their food so it seems to them that there's no food.
You are very disciplined with your eating and it shows on your scale. I cook my meals but I have a terrible sweet tooth...& it shows on my scale 🤪.
Yep I live on €65 a week for two people for breakfast lunch and dinners and I bake on bread or cake once a week for treats ! It not easy but I do a large food shop every two weeks €130 and buy as much whole foods as possible . Rice / oats /beans / meat and fish too . Just gotta meal plan ! Now again yes I buy dark choclate to melt over some fruit or grilled banana as an after dinner treat and delish !🤤 I’m still eating my way through Xmas and Easter eggs so no need buy any for while 😂
If I fed my doggies beans, they'd have to evacuate the area from the toxic gas ! 😄
😹😹
LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE SO YOU CAN LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE!
I grew up poor too. And i think you have plenty of food. You just don’t have a bunch of junk. You actually have real food. Good channel.
My fridge has more. :) But i've learned to divide meat into smaller portions and cut on food waste by better planning and shopping. The amount of plastic waste is still cause of everyday bad mood.
You don't spend a lot on food , because you don't over eat.
For anyone living in a house with a backyard or extra land, I thoroughly recommend a book titled Backyard Self Sufficiency by Jackie French.
I love how clean and organized you have it
Walmart carries a great brand of chili called 'STAGG' . IT TASTES EVEN BETTER THAN HORMEL AND IT'S REALLY THICK.
I add can of diced tomatoes , a squirt of ketchup and some extra chili powder to a can of chili. Simmer and you have chili for several meals! Chili, chili dogs (sorry pups!), chili mac, chili over piece of cornbread. I cut my baked cornbread into serving size pieces...use some and freeze the rest for other meals. Love this type of video! Thank you!
My fridge looks a lot like yours, lots of space between things. But out of curiosity I went in and counted. I've got the makings of about 17 meals. What I don't have in there is sodapop, snack packs, fifty different condiments, etc. Inused to clean for a living and so much of what makes a crammed fridge is stuff no one wants to eat, and stuff so junky no one should eat it. When all you eat is real food the fridge is not so stuffed.
You are consistently transparent. Freshly honest. I love your rawness!
My daughter's former partner used to throw a fit when she saved used food containers to store things in the refrigerator and I never did understand why. Both my mom and I did the same thing. Cool Whip containers are the best for storage. My daughter knows how to stretch food out. Her friend treated her to an extra large order of nachos and she usually only eats one meal a day so that order lasted her three days instead of just one meal.
Why do you care what other people do?
@@karlabritfeld7104 Why do you care that I care. What I care and don't care about is really none of your businesss.
I love your channel! I have been preaching these frugal tips for years to everyone I know. People I know STILL spend $500-$1000 a month on food (groceries, fast food, eating out, food delivery 🙄). There is something about food that makes people drop the frugal "ball". The smaller plate concept is genius, I took my family down to a seven inch salad plate (gasp... 🤣). We are all well nourished and never go hungry. But boy oh boy does it save on the food budget!
I was raised poor too and my refrigerator and cabinets are about the same. I do have a back up of everyday staples like rice and beans but I love looking into the fridge and knowing everything in there is not outdated and I know what I have and not hidden behind food I'll never eat that sits and spoils. Smart and conscious living = Smart and conscious spending. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing all your tips with us all! Bless you and your sweet fur babies. 🙏
After watching and reading the comments about prices on produce, I have to suggest: Make sure to take advantage of whatever the farmers grow in your area. I paid $1.99 for my most recent 5 lb bag of potatoes, 99 cents for a 3 lb bag of carrots, and apples are less than what Princess paid. Those are all grown in my area. Cucumbers and even lettuce is ridiculously expensive.
Edited to add: I don't have to cook dinner for a week because I pulled this winter's batch-cooked soups from the freezer to make room for newly-cut rhubarb.
Oh, boo hoo. My local Farmer's Market is favored by top restaurants, as well as people in all brackets. I go for the local "color" and save a ton of money, because I buy my things from a real store for half the cost. Local doesn't mean thrifty.
Food waste is definitely a problem in my house. Thanks for motivating me to do better! I’m going to be more mindful going forward!
We don't eat much meat, but we do eat mostly from our gardens this time of the year. I have lettuce, spinach, kale, red sorrel, dandelion, hastas, and other greens that are just growing around my yard. I make a very diverse salad with all of these greens, plus the onion tops that are bending and the chives. i have started drying my teas for the year with lemon balm that was getting out of control already and the lilacs that were starting to die off. I also have some wild garlic in the yard that I picked and am drying that out too. Food and medicine are everywhere once we learn how to find it and what to look for. The best part is that it is basically free or very cheap once you either learn how to forage for it or how to grow it, then preserve it, and save your own seeds.
You seem to eat very well. Simple meals are best. I thinks it’s fine to eat something like ramen or Mac n cheese on rare occasions. Analyzing and stressing over every thing you put in your mouth is far worse for your health than the occasional packaged food.
I cook almost every night from scratch mostly for 3 grown ppl., I spend approx.$400-450 a month but that includes some household items like soap, laundry detergent, my husband works hard and gets terribly dirty and greasy. We are still eating from my freezer what I put up last year from our garden.
That’s awesome!
That's how much I spend as well. I live in Virginia.
I don't like cooking everyday but cooking for 4 days is for me. I do like to eat twice a day though.
You have more food in your house than I do. Great plan you have. Thanks.
Hi Prepper Princess. I started adding extra pasta to the Noodle Roni and it is better. If you make it by the package only it's too saucy. Also, I would make a tamale pie with the chili, cornbread and shredded cheese. Yum! Thank you for sharing.
I always add frozen, or even fresh, vegetables to the package. Makes it a complete meal.
Make homemade granola bars using your cinnamon puffins:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed cinnamon puffins cereal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds)
- 1/4 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cinnamon puffins cereal, rolled oats, chopped nuts or seeds, and dried fruit. Mix well to combine.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the honey or maple syrup, peanut butter or almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all of the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let the granola bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut them into bars or squares.
8. Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
Thanks I’ll try that
These are my very favorite videos you do ❤️
You've got the neatest looking supplies in cabinets I've ever seen. 🙂
A life working in retail will do that to you. It’s called “zoning”
I have the same size fridge freezer, its a normal size here in Europe. I feed 3 people. Plenty of space. Sometimes I have to be a bit creative to fit all the food. My best purchase was a vacuum sealer. I divide the packages of for ex. ground beef or chicken into dinner sizes, pack them flat, and I get more in those 3 drawers of freezer. I am hosting 2 dinner parties this week, one with family and one with friends. I have been planning these dinners, and after work I drove to 4 different grocery stores to get the sales items. Money goes fast these days, but I stayed on budget. I shop only once a week. One shop was chosen due to an offer on Wettex dishcloths. They sell 10 for the normal price of 3, I got that, paid and left for another store. I work close to a big city and there is numerous stores and malls on my way home. I live in the woods, and it is 30 minutes drive to civilization 😉 Still it is only an hour to the Capital city.
Gas is not cheap so driving around cost a lot.
I’m in the U.K. and we have yellow labels which is how we shop. On the last day some supermarkets reduce fresh meat fish fruit. We buy this and freeze and meal plan around it. Example minced lamb £7.50 we bought for £2.50.
I'm in the USA and yellow labels here too. I'm in Virginia.
My food stock looks like yours and I can feed myself for days on it. I totally get this. I try to shop online, just twice per month.
Dogs: why are we in the kitchen and no one is dropping food on the floor?! 😂 great video. I love how simple you keep your food. I feed several hungry people, but I do a lot of the same things you do. Batch cook, freeze leftovers, make simple food from scratch, buy clearance items in bulk and freeze - anything I can do to squeeze more food out of the budget.
I love that model of fridge. ✨
I have found a local farm that farms hydroponically and have been getting all my produce from them. Tastes so much better and is cheaper! Also been working on my portions and I can tell in how my clothes feel.
I made the “Taco Bell quesadilla” last week and my husband loved it! Made it many times in a row 😊 my opinion is that it tastes way better than Taco Bell 😋
I have a vegetable garden every year. My family is a little bigger than yours-a spouse, three grandkids, and a great granddaughter. I do the best I can with what I have. It is a lot different if you are single.
Crush up the Puffins cereal, and use it for breading for chicken or pork chops.
Great content! I felt like you were filming in my kitchen. The reason why folks say you don't have much food is because they are seeing ingredients that need to be combined and not the packaged, processed convenience meals they are so used to. Keep on living your simple life! And hugs to those precious furbabies. 😊
If you get a cheap vacuum machine and vacuum bag meats they keep way longer in the freezer 😊
I finally used up all the sugar I had, in favor of monk fruit. But then I remembered something… It’s hummingbird season. So, back to the store I went, to get hummer sugar. Sigh…
Like yourself, I have only average about $120 a month for food and living in Northern California. Between Costco, Safeway digital specials and the local Mexican produce stores, food cost has not been an issue. So far, after 4 months, my total expenses $2,600
I usually buy Folgers coffee on sale and mix stores brand flavored coffee, like French vanilla etc.
I haven't heard you mention how much energy is used when you cook. I eat pretty much the same things, with variations, everyday. Greens of some kind-mixed veggies ( broccoli-cauliflower-
carrots), brown rice for dinner. Green tea alone or with plain wheat toast for breakfast. Snacks are home made popcorn ( made in a paper bag in the microwave), generic toasted oat cereal or rice Chex or corn tortillas placed in the toaster. All these foods are cooked for a very short time or by using residual heat, which can save a lot on energy. You are very lucky to have so many fruits and berries available to you. They are quite expensive where I live.
I cleared out my fridge, it looks much better. I recommend getting English muffins for breakfast. Fry an egg, and add a slice of cheese, put in on a toasted English muffin. Voila.
Oatmeal is healthier and cheaper. 🎉
@ingetnamn-de9fc Oatmeal is said to have glosphate not sure about the spelling) that weed killer chemical they spray on crops. Cheerios is loaded with it too. Saw a video on TH-cam regarding this.
I don't like the fridge being stuffed, things get lost and wasted.
Same
I think you are awesome, you have such great self discipline. I'm very frugal but wish I could be as disciplined as you with my diet. Thank you for your awesome content from the UK x
I like peaking inside other people's fridge. I seriously need to go through mine tonight. I make my own iced tea.
My fridge looks almost like yours, and there's Plenty of meals in it! I'm glitchy, so I keep meals underway and fresh things In Sight-- lest they die in there, before I eat them 😅. Freezer is loaded with great deals on mostly meats. I cook up an entire Value Pack of whatever I find, and freeze it in 1 lb portions for later recipes...
The dogs should get the chicken. I have made homemade dog food. They need meat, not beans - they get heart problems if you don't give them meat. But, I get it, I find that my fridge and freezer have far too much food for just me. I can't believe how far it stretches.
Cats are carnivores; they need meat daily. Dogs are omnivores; they can eat anything. Food scraps are great. Cheaper vet bills than with process pet stuff.
Grind the puffins and make a pie crust or mini crusts in cupcake pan and make some orange or lemon cream pies.
You are a big help to people who need to learn how to shop. I've got a big expense coming up and I'm gladI know how to shop so I can pay that expense quickly.
Making your own pizza is a great way to eat dirt cheap. And yes, you can make it taste restaurant quality without a pizza oven. Just set the oven to 475 and use a cheap, thin pizza pan that you can find at Dollar Tree. A 12 inch pizza will only cost a couple of dollars to make and it serves 2.
We live in Australia and I spend $280.00 a month to feed 2 adults and a cat. We eat really well ,i grow some fruit and vegetables. $280.00 is for everything nit just food.
I buy the boxes of dehydrated hash browns and cook them up with onions and tricolored peppers and scrambled eggs for breakfast burritos for the week and freeze the rest for later meals.
How does it taste? Thank you.
You have plenty of food. You can make a lot of different plates with all of your ingredients that you have. Thanks for making the video.
I've drank whole milk three months out of date last year. It smelled just fine and didn't cause me any illness whatsoever. Try at your own risk, however...
I started a garden thinking I'd be saving a ton of money. I likely did it wrong, but my first raised bed (including dirt) was approximately $500! My next garden spaces on this property will be done much cheaper, plus we compost so that's a way to get some free dirt. Wish I had an orange tree! I'm surrounded by huge huge trees and they steal all the sunlight.
Great video! You’ve got meal planning down to a science! It’s not hard…it just takes some afore thought and very few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Then…you can eat for a week on just a little bit of effort! There’s sooooo much money to be saved by doing it this way! Great job!!🙌🙌🙌
Hi Princess!!! Love your vids and great advice!!
Cooking from scratch is SO much cheaper.
Love your doggies!!!!❤❤❤❤ STAY WELL!!❤❤❤
LOVE your ideas! One thing I do also is 2 keep powdered type items, oatmeal, grains, pudding, jello, cake mix, etc in frig or freezer... Keeps bugs out & keeps a LOT longer than in cupboard. Nuts & seeds I prefer 2 keep in glass jar in freezer.
That’s the perfect counter spot for the Berky. Sorry if I misspelled that.
I see you have a Berkey system just like mine! Seriously, I love your videos! Money's tight and times are hard. I eat frugally and can't afford chard! Burma Shave LOL
It all looks healthy and delicious in your fridge. 🍊💚
You could make a lemon pie with your condensed milk and fresh lemons! After watching your quesadilla video, I ended up making myself some with leftover chicken. Had them for three days in a row, definitely going to make that a regular meal. Delicious!
Just picked 27 gallons of wild texas dewberrys. Took about 3 weeks. Gave 25 gallons away and kept 2 for me. Saw 3 poisonous snakes.
Did you save me any?
My kids and I are going out this weekend for dewberries. Hope we still get some. 😄
I greatly dislike poisonous snakes.
@@gowest5145Yes, they can kill you so that is natural feelings you have.
You are so organized.
I am so glad you showed your food in fridge and how it is turned into your meals! A lot of people that do these YT videos show ingredients in their fridge and freezer acting like they either have nothing or let’s clean out this stuff! I am seeing an abundance of food that could last them another month for family of four, if not longer! Plus, why are people hoarding food if they are not going to use it? I can see buying basics: flour, sugar, eggs, bread( if they don’t make their own). A lot of these women are in very expensive houses, have chickens for eggs…where most people can’t afford that luxury. I can’t remember a time when we complained about anything my mother cooked and placed on the table. Plus my mother would take leftovers and turn them into TV dinners and freeze them. If pot pies went on sale for 50 cents she stocked up…same with TV dinners. Back in the ‘80’s MC Donald’s would have one day in the year where they sold their regular hamburgers for 50 cents each. I placed an order for enough for up at college and for my mother. We would separate the meat patty from the bun and freeze both. That way we could heat them in the oven and not get over cooked bun and cold patty( we didn’t have a microwave). Plus, now if you open an app for some fast food places they give you a free meal. Take that and turn it into couple of meals. A barbecue place was selling pulled pork sandwiches that was stacked with lots of pork. I took off meat and asked for a to go container. It had so much meat on that one sandwich it made me three sandwiches! I should have got another sandwich and could have eaten for a week for $5.00. So, thank you for your honesty and really helping people understand how to really save their money! Keep up the great work!!!
Great advise! There are a lot ways to not spend money but have food. I volunteer at a local dairy farm for milk, cheese, and eggs. I get exercise, support local, and have several gallons of milk a week that I can drink, make butter, make cheese, use for baked goods as well as cheese and eggs.
Oh also! Check your area for bent and dent stores. I get a TON of half price (or more) shelf-stable goods that help keep my pantry full.
You make butter???
I love your content. It always motivates to do more and do better. Plus you've totally changed my perspective on consumerism and the value of money. I have a request though. You always mention how tidy and well-kept you keep everything in your life, especially your car and your house. I'd love to see some cleaning and tidying content on your channel. Any special tips if you have. Then please share.
I have started taking advantage of food banks. Very fortunate because they are well ran and makes sure we get complete meals.
Fruit is an issue here in WA. We pay 5.98/lb for Rainier cherries in-season where they are grown, and AZ pays .98/lb.
Grow your own if it is possible for you.
