Basically, it dawn on me last night, what I am saying is : you,can eat well on four dollars a day if you get eight dollars worth of food for four dollars. An easy fix if you shop wisely.
Lately I have been reading about the food additives that are bad for you. It still boils down to what I have been saying , watch your fat, salt, and sugar!
I think it will almost impossible to eliminate all hydrogenated oils out of your diet because of their widespread use- until the food industry finds a new way of manufacturing. It would be nice to say that we could make everything from scratch , but in this day and age, not many of is have the time to make everything from peanut better to crackers and everything in between and you would probably have to use some fat anyway or your family wouldn't eat it. You would be cooking the entire day and have so much waste trying to cook for a small family.
Your best is all than anyone can expect you to do.
That's all I can do right now, back later.
Groceries on the cheap is looking at the Put Dinner On The Table meal train from a different
pro spective. The emphasis is on purchasing good food( shelf- stable/ freezer staples )at the lowest possible cost and purchasing enough to last you until it goes on sale again -- Keeping a controlled non-perishable stock of the things you use on a regular basis. It means that when you shop, rather than purchasing just what you need for a day or a week, you buy a loss leader protein, produce you will need on sale, a stock item if it's a RBP, and dairy instead. This allows you to put well balanced meals on the table consistently for a four dollar a day budget per person. You spend more time on the planning and shopping end of the meal train and less on the cooking end by cooking efficiently.
Four dollars a day is the target amount for people on snap. My premise is that of you can do it on four dollars a day, spending more isn't hard. You still get more bang for your buck.
