Ramanth, Just be careful not to make yourself sick, they say beans and rice have a lot of complex carbs and proteins and if you buy a big bag of beans and rice its a pretty healthy way of eating cheap.

Aren't we a patheic bunch we'll eat crap while pets get gourmet. ;Hey Dugan can I have a bite of that kibble ;)
Kimmy,
Our pets eat better than we do!! I still crack up everytime I look at that avatar of Kia. You shoulda named her Cujo.
I was exaggerating a little. ;) I'm actually back on slim fast and that stuff really eats into my budget. But thankfully my future MIL shops at Costco and gets me the cheap stuff so it helps a lot. I snack on fruit, cheese, crackers, and yogurt (I buy when they are on sale) for snacks....Quote:

But it's true. I pay top dollar for the pets and then what's left is what I get. I really make boxed and canned goods stretch...
She's my buck toothed beauty. ;) :DQuote:

I told this story once before....
3 tacos for 99 cents.....
Five dollars in my pocket.
12 tacos, mixed up some kool aid when I got home. and my stomach stoppd growling!! ;)

Actually if you buy an Orange soda that makes the complete meal.
Taco = Meat (?) Veggies, Cheese and Grain (tortilla), orange soda?
The five major food groups!!!
I remember when I lived with my dad. boy those were some sad years. The dog got his $50.00 bag of Nutro dog food (3 months worth). Paid the min on the bills & then ate cans of tuna :( We didn't have enough for bread, cause we choose Milk instead. Lickly my group of friends at school, got sick of me eating a can of tuna & brought extra sandwiches & bought me stuff at the cafe :)
My sister was living on ick food, then she landed a decent boyfriend who was jobless. BUT they went grocery shopping at his mothers house :D My dad pays for her apt & mom pays for her bills, but they cannot give her much as in food $ so she had to be careful. Now her b/f has a job & hes making a decent $. So hes paying for 50% of everything & buying 100% of the food.. my parents are happy. & hopefully she put on some weight, being 90pounds or less is just SICK!
We both have tha same body structure, so she sould be about 125p & I should be 130p (I wish, I'm a bit chunky hehe)
Jen, there's an Aldi's right in Penn hills shopping center. I know all of the cashiers there! (My second home!)Quote:
