Life is good. Instead of eating sardines cause I have to, I'm dinning on skinless boneless fillets in olive oil this evening.

The story goes, we in the PNW, Oregon specifically, didn't have opossum until the CCC boys from the SE brought them up, so they'd have them to et. Some day I am going to shoot some young ground hogs just to give em a try... But opossum... man that is gross. Ha!

Fortunately I've never been poor enough to really restrict what I eat but I still eat things that are economical.
Lentils, rice, and beans are very healthy and cheap.

However, that was right after I told him I ate a gray digger (large ground squirrel). I know my dad et beaver tail.... Opossum is about the last thing that looks tasty to me! We had a couple Guinea pigs, I could definitely see skewering those tender little chits!

Idahoan instant garlic/herb mashed potatoes ($.89), can of corn/beans/peas ($.69), chicken thighs or drumsticks ($1.79 a lb.). I keep Cup-O-Noodles and tuna packets/crackers in my locker at work. Not so much because it's cheap, but because it's quick and easy. I can stuff it down my gullet and still get in a 35-minute nap at lunch.

Bottom line though is if you are willing to prepare it, it doesnt cost a great deal to eat.

Fry it in a pan and top with a fried egg and THEN you got a damn good meal. 🤠

If you shop right you can eat pretty cheap. Been a while but a box of mac and cheese and burger or tuna. Potato and bacon soup. Venison stew was always a staple, potatoes, onions, and carrots are cheap. Oats and eggs, baloney sammichs are cheap.
Really we have it pretty good, tour around Africa a bit if you want to see poor.

I love homemade potato soup. And it’s pretty damn cheap too.

In my first non-military job after college I pretty much lived on tuna fish, olives, and ramen noodles for a year. Occasionally I would go to Wendy's and get a cup of chilli. I wasn't making much.
One time I was out of work for a while. I went to a St Patrick's/ St Joseph's day parade in New Orleans were I lived. They threw cabbage, carrots, and potatoes off of the floats. I filled a couple of burlap bags with those. Add some tomato paste and I didn't have much of a food bill for three months.
