Eating healthy and being poor

[kahljorn]

serious question - do you never buy fruit or something?

Yea i mean i used to go grocery shopping all the time and never spent more than ten bucks a week on fruits and veggies. They were usually the cheapest things.

Maybe I'm just not an idiot when it comes to buying stuff or something.

I've seen abnanas for 20 cents each or fifty cents a pound ;/ how much is five of those

I do a lot of crock pot cooking, because I am both poor and lazy. But you can make some pretty healthy combinations using meat, vegetables and potatoes that way.

abnanas are an exception price wise, but more than one a day and you wont be able to shit (srsly)

my favorite fruits ever are plums and kiwi's though, and they both get expensive, BUT I could live off of them.

also, whole cooked chickens are kind of gross imo :/

I'd rather have pre-cooked and then prepare them however I like. Plus i've always been kind of weirded out by raw chicken. I lived with a guy who had a bowl of flour, was tossing raw chicken in it, then put the flour back in the flour jar honestly since then, aside from steak, I enjoy pre-cooked meats.

PS. those of you excited by cheap whole cooked chickens, go to any grocer past 8:00 and you'll see them under a warmer with a $4-off coupon attached to them probly. mmmmmm.

Was he hoping to make salmonella cookies later?

oh yeah, there's a market near here too that has all meat half off after 8 pm

it's really really really easy to cook pretty much anything in a foreman grill or outdoor grill. chicken is also easy to cook in a pot of boiling water. it tastes best in the oven imo and that isn't terribly difficult either.

my favorite is when they have a rack of discount fruit up at 2 am and it's pretty much just a bag of brown slop

I love cooking chicken on a charcoal grill, plus when you're poor it's a good way to relax. The place I've been living at for the past two years though doesn't allow any grills, but there are public ones set up that you can use if you really like diseases
