Not bad, if you're hungry enough.
Lol, potato chip and catsup sandwiches rock.....and I have a kitchen filled with food!

Laura,

If you ever need a roomie!

Karen,

You hit on a very vital point- CANNING.

I wish I had the knowledge and the patience to can food. Being on my own it's not really a viable option for me. I'd love to do sauces and pickles, but by the time I'd get around to eating all the stuff?

I saw BEAUTUFUL tomatoes today, three pounds for a dollar! Cukes looked good, so did the onions and bell peppers.

Canned fruits and veggies are not the best option, but in a pinch they will do.

I had a roomie that went crazy over a Hobo Stew that I put together.

Fried hamburger, tomato sauce, canned veggies and some S and P, garlic and spices.

You would have thought I had cooked steak and lobster. 3 dollars a day is really challenging but it can be done.

Medusa,

I saw an artichoke for 2.99 at one store.
