[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553035, member: 11791"] FHW... some can't do this, or can only with difficulty... but fresh organic produce can be next to free: plant a garden. I'm growing a small one in containers about 30 inches round... fresh greens, carrots, radishes... and they are fairly easy to care for. And as for delicious? well... we just gave up our favorite store-bought breakfast bread. I'm back to making home-made totally-from-scratch recipes and... when I offered to go get some of that old favorite for a treat? I was told, in no uncertain terms: "Don't you DARE". We get our treats... like, buying a little premium pizza meat, and making our own from scratch. It costs way more than our "usual" fare, but way less than the cheapest fast-food treat we can come up with. You're probably thinking "easy for you, you're a cook". Well, I'm NOT. I can read a recipe, but I'm NOT a cook. I can put on a decent meal for company - but it takes me all day. Anything that is "a bit of this and a taste of that", is out of my league completely. But... if I can learn to cook stuff that a family will turn down restaurant meals for... anybody can. The only valid impediments are: No stove, or physical limitations. The only reason my food costs are so high is we live in Canada. [/QUOTE]
