    Our water was cut off for a couple of days so we had containers with water and learned to shower with 3/4 to one gallon of water. What a lesson, heat up water, have a dipper cup and the key is to pour slowly from top to bottom.

    Buy unflavored yogurt in the big container. Add a 1/2 tsp of strawberry jam, just enough to flavor. That little bit of sugar won’t hurt. Saves so much money. Again, put your foods and drinks in cute little dishes, it really makes saving money a pleasurable experience

    Yes, the only way I like dark meat is mixed in casseroles, burritos, etc. I absolutely love broth made from the bones. I cannot wait until autumn when I can make soups & chilis. We're getting ready to move, so we will be eating sandwiches & salads, or whatever we can microwave on paper plates & eat with plastic utensils. Utensils we can wash & reuse. I do wish that the older women in churches taught the younger women homemaking skills. My mom was depressed when I was growing up, so I had to learn how to cook through home ec classes. I would've loved to learn gardening, canning, sewing, etc. Make leftover buns into croutons.

    USDA website has info on waste on meat. I get more like 40% waste on chicken quarters because, like Jill, I make broth, and chicken butter (fat), from the bones. Using my electric pressure cooker, it’s even unattended time! I put the inedible parts of my celery, onion (even peels), and carrots in my broth because I strain it before I jar it and put in my refrigerator. I have learned that I can add a packet of plain gelatin for pretty inexpensive (thanks Adam Ragusea) which makes fantastic pan sauce! If u put some of the chicken fat on top of your broth, it will keep longer in the fridge if u need it to keep. TFS! Edited to add: I use chicken broth for all meat dishes regardless of whether it is chicken, beef, or pork. I can’t tell the difference and I understand that chicken broth is the most nutritious of all of the broths.

    I have to laugh every time I hear that people say they can't afford to buy food. I'm not sure you have an alternative if you don't want to starve. Ironically, the people saying this are often using the latest (expensive) phone and a new car. Before anyone jumps on me, I live on a small Social Security check each month, have no debt, drive an old car and receive no other federal or state assistance. However, if you truly can't afford food, use the available food pantries and programs in your area.

    I just grab Gatorade if well get dehydrated from running to the porcelain throne frequently.😂It lasts me a long time. Keep a Pedialyte around just in case. Iced tea.😅. Some don't add sugar to iced tea so therefore unsweet tea. Hmm..lemon tea. I get 2 liters of pop for under a buck still. Slowly going with less. I'm a popaholic. Gotta be as hard to quit as drinking or smoking.
    Meat and a side is all you need too. A simple meal. Stop eating when full. With my gut problems, now cutting out grains along with sugar. Leaning keto is easier on my stomach and gerd.

    Ya know, I really miss being able to buy a whole chicken cut up. You get the variety light and dark meat which seemed to be cheaper than just one body part. I recently cooked up some thighs (w bone and skin) into chicken parmesan on the stove top and it was so much more flavorful than the breasts were in the oven!
    Drinks = coffee, milk, occasionally a v8, clamato, grapefruit juice, 6 pack of ginger ale or lemonade, oh and an occasional 6 pack of light beer for out at my mom's pool. (Limit 2, lol)
    Cereals I get store brand rice crispies for treats, or Cheerios, corn flakes, or shredded wheat. Also oatmeal or cream of wheat, these usually last me about a year or longer because I don't eat them much.

      @@goonie4136 Well, that doesn't bother me. If they were actively discriminating AGAINST any particular group, that would bother me. I don't see the need to be ugly to people whose lifestyles I may not agree with; I can get along with anyone who wants to get along with me, even if I don't approve of something they're doing. And I don't care who waits on me at the checkout, gay, straight, trans, whatever--as long as I'm treated politely and the deals are good. So far that's how it's been at Kroger, for all the years I've been shopping there. Now...if I came across a man in the women's bathroom it would be a different story. I agree with Tawra on the whole 'why can't they consider MY discomfort as well as their own?' situation. Thankfully, the Krogers I shop at have only individual bathrooms for one person at a time, so I don't need to worry about that there.
