Beans, rice, lentils, oat meal, almonds, some frozen mixed veggies, and some soy nuggets; that’s basically all I eat anymore due to the rising costs of food. And portion control as well because hot damn are costs flying up.
It’s dirt cheap and filling as hell, but damn do I miss going out to eat every weekend with the guys. We only go out once a month now and this last meet up we brought up not going out to eat but doing potlucks instead (which I’m down for for sure).
I’m not a vegetarian, but it’s very rare that my protein of choice is not pork, ground beef or chicken these days for cost reasons. I’d love to be able to buy steaks every now and then, but it’s just not worth it these days.
First I reduced quality, next I reduced variety, then I reduced quantity. Not sure what to do now. As Jurgis from The Jungle would say, I guess “I will work harder.”
I don’t know about y’all, but between food quality and food prices I’m basically anorexic nowadays. (meirl)

I made lamb shoulder for a relative’s birthday because it was noticeably cheaper.
I have been pretty much tofu exclusive since it costs about $1.79 a pound here
A 25 lb bag of rice is $10 at Costco. I rotate between several different curries/stews/proteins on a bed of rice and it’s delicious.
