I have some neighbors that have set aside 2 pigs for me.

I'm really not ready for pigs yet.

Screw it I think I'm gonna do it anyway.

I have a friend that wants to follow the #grornostr hashtag.

I don't have an iPhone so I'm of no help.

Is it possible and if so how is it done.

Thanks.

Good morning everyone. I'm getting ready to feed the hungry town of Protem this morning.

We stumbled across a snapping turtle during our mission hunt

Today I'm hunting mushrooms for the first time with friends and came across a wild blueberry patch

What is the zaps only (OnlyZaps) thing? I noticed it in the snort.social settings yesterday but it's explanation seemed vague

I have, it's probably better than Seek at identifying things.

I use Seek because it's completely free and no account needed

Healthy eating on a budget

I want to preface this with a lot of people here may be doing keto, carnivore, whatever it might be and that’s fine but not what this post is about. And while I’m a big advocate of working to produce as much of your own food as you can that’s not realistic for everyone. So here we go!

I am beyond tired of people using the excuse that eating good is too expensive.

Im going to go over some tips to minimize your food budget and still take care of your health.

First and foremost, manage your caloric intake. Easiest way to do this is using a simple app like myfitnesspal and get a $10 food scale off Amazon and track your intake. Then cut out buying processed food and eating out.

Buy grains in bulk. go-to’s are white rice, oats (whole or quick) and all varieties of potatoes. cheap and you can get these anywhere. If you can afford a Costco or Sam’s membership it will pay off! Beans are also a great cheap option for carbs and protein.

Vegetables and fruit don’t have to be expensive, bulk frozen vegetables (again, sams or Costco but cheap at Walmart too), onion, lettuces, celery, bagged spinach, carrots, bananas are super cheap. You can grab fresh produce when it’s on sale and then freeze it so it doesn’t spoil.

Protein, frozen chicken is usually a good price, boneless skinless chicken thighs as well! But for meats go to the store and buy what’s on sale. If there’s a good sale stock up and freeze everything you’re not going to use right away. There’s always meats on sale stock up and base your meals around what is on sale. Ground beef/Turkey, chicken breast/tenders/thighs, pork chops, beef roasts, fish, etc buy what’s on sale. Also canned tuna and sardines are usually very cheap and eggs should be a staple.

Fats, buy in bulk. If you have a Costco or Sam’s club this really pays off here. Store brand extra virgin olive oil for cold or low heat use. A tub of avocado oil for high heat cooking and coconut oil. All great prices at Costco/Sams.

Ground beef/chicken thighs/canned tuna in olive oil/whole eggs with rice or potatoes and frozen vegetables is a super easy staple balanced meal. Eating better doesn’t have to be crazy complicated meals. Keep it simple!

Walmart great value haul:

2 dozen eggs - $8

5lbs rice - $3

32oz broccoli florets x2 - $4.50

Chicken breast 6lb x2 - $30

Bananas 3lb - $1.80

That’s roughly 16,000 calories, 1,500g protein, 2,150g carbs and 243g fats. Add in some higher fat meat or EVOO to your meals and your set for a week for under $50

This pretty much describes the way I used to shop before I started reducing my carb intake. It's sound advice.

If you have a restaurant supply store in your area, you can also find good deals on bulk foods especially meat. In Washington State there's Chef's Store (formerly Cash and Carry)

I used to buy 20-30 lb top round roasts for less than hamburger prices. I would then hand grind enough hamburger to last my family of 4 for a month. (You can even cut steaks or smaller roasts)

If you buy the 3000ft plastic wrap from Costco you can wrap up 1-2 lbs at a time, and stack of you freezer.

Also buy individual spices, and learn to make your own seasonings (taco, spaghetti, etc.) Larger up front cost but a huge money saver in the long run.

There's a lot that you can do to decrease your food expenses even if your unable or unwilling to produce your own. This just scratches the surface

This is a test using my very own nostr relay and the noscl nostr command line client. Please let me know if you see this :)

I didn't receive it. If you can, just post it in this thread so others can see it also. Thanks
