FWIW, we usually get a nice loaf of french bread to go with sunday dinner but yesterday at the grocery store it was $5 a loaf so we didn't.  I suppose they're right you know.

Apples/Oranges.
The stuff you get from the 'cheap' bit your posting. Isn't gonna cook itself.
And PLEASE don't put coke on that menu item as 'fast food'. Geeze.
Yeah...we can make burgers, fries, and even OPEN A CAN OF COKE at home.
But often we don't.
So, tell us what you do.
Heck, right now I have a pot of beans soaking and whole chicken in the fridge the SO cooked last night.

Nothing you do for "Healthy" isn't going to make a dang bit of diffrence if the kids (or others) don't actually eat it.

For less than $3.00 you can buy a small bag of flour and some yeast and make a few French boules. But I realize that's too difficult for most Americans who prefer everything to be premade and as ultra-processed with preservatives and fillers as possible

We're dealing with some unprecedented grocery consolidation here in California... Few years ago lost regional chain Safeway/Vons to Kroger, and just this year lost SaveMart/Lucky to a hedge fund.

I make my own sometimes. I put a big bowl outside under a oak tree. With a bit of flour, sugar...and let that perk.

I Also make my own sauerkraut late October when the farmer's market has cabbages for cheep.

I doubt that. IN the "SPACE AGE" days. People cooked at home A LOT.
They where's really more healthy, and not 'lighter'.
It was a golden age of heart disease, diet crazes, home cooking. Which I love.

Heck, google up some early Julia Childe PBS shows. There's very little 'healthy' or low cal about those.
Geeze, she uses a stick of butter in most everything.

Pffft, starting with those products, you might as well just be ordering fast food.

If you're shopping at a supermarket, you're paying for the convenience of having everything in one place and marketing for name brand products.

If you're lucky enough to have access to them, go to farmer's markets, butcher shops, and bakers.

The only way to stop the gluttony is to starve it out.  If that's what it takes, then that's what it takes.
Enjoy your climate change diet.  You'll look good enough to  hit the beach at St. Tropez--wait, count that one out.  Oil spill and hurricane expected there.
You still look really good, hon, even if you can't go outside because of the really bad air quality.

How dare you. Their time is MONEY, and they don't have enough yet.
Don't you all get it?  It's not a different subject, it's the same farking thing I always bithc about--your work and your money has become more important than living your life.  We have a fast food culture BECAUSE we have a work culture--hang on, I have something obnoxious I can post--

i.imgur.comView Full Size


We have frozen food and frozen pizza and enough dining establishments to choke a hog BECAUSE we base  our lives around work, and eating is not a positive financial outlay.  It actually costs you money and then you have to shiat it out--that takes time-- and god forbid that you actually have to COOK something, because you aren't making any money then.

the millennials have now based an entire subculture on dining out and being waited on, because that's what signals your financial success--not being able to do a farking thing for yourself.  And if you can be waited on in Spain or Cabo, your Instagram fans will be smoking with envy.  You're cooking up a tan, but you don't COOK.

And you have to think about it, what to eat and how to cook it, and then there's that trip to the store, and you have to deal with all those fat people, and the whole time you're thinking, "What's the financial benefit to me with all this?"  Besides better mental and physical health, but besides THAT.  That crap is costing you money, and there are people, people with less worth than you have, who do that stuff.

It's nothing but a positive financial move to be waited on like a baby, at least the way we've set up our economy at this point.  It's all about YOU, baby, you baby, with your positive financial outlook and your army of faceless servants.
Cooking. That's for low-net worth individuals. You see people doing that at the many places you stop in to.  It's fascinating, like watching people work at a slaughterhouse.

There are som things that just aren't worth the time to cook from scratch as the convenience is just better than the small boost in nutrition/flavor.  Canned tomatoes and spaghetti sauces are prime among them.  Look at the ingredients, and avoid the HFCS and salty ones.

Whole Foods - there's your problem.

I do agree with restaurant prices getting a bit much, particularly when they tack on 18% or more for "tips". On the other hand, we stopped at our favorite Thai place yesterday because we were up in the area and three dishes, ~$40, will provide six meals, each, for my wife and I.

I tend to disagree.
I mostly use canned tomatoes for 'red sauce'. Paul Newman's sauce....
Yup, I 'fancy it up, with a bit of ham, fresh onion, some dried herbs...a finish with flourish of fresh basil if we got it...
but  simmer 'all day' style. The Can isn't the problem. Heck, canned tomatos are often much better than crappy out of season 'fresh' tomatoes.

When I had a dog, one of my dog park friends sold home made dog treats. They were basically baked oats and peanut butter. When we got home from the park one day, I was about to give the dog her treat. I looked at it and thought, "Dare I?" It was goddamned delicious. For the next few weeks, the dog gave me dirty looks for bogarting her treats.

I have to disagree on this front too. One of my favorite things to cook is a Sunday gravy with sausage, pork chops and homemade meatballs. It's at least four hours in the kitchen and it is expensive with all of the ingredients, but it is so good, and there is something so satisfying and peaceful in the whole process. I can't wait until it cools down enough here to cook it again.

JFC if you're buying 3 farken gallons of milk before it goes bad. You have a breeding problem, not a bread problem.
Oh...but nice call on the "Symbolic Sacrificial" asparagus .

When I was a kid I drank milk like it was water.
My ex didn't.
My mom didn't.
Guess who both lost teeth and who didn't

Are the two of you actually different people?


My mom and my ex both brushed their teeth and the ex flossed. I didn't.  But I did drink milk like it was water when I was a kid. They lost a tooth each. I didn't.

optikeye: drjekel_mrhyde: The lady in the article went from making fresh tomato sauce to the jar kind. That's not healthier.  She went from bulk to shiat on sale. No real savings there. Bulk chicken is still cheaper than buying chicken on sale.
/The people that thought ahead brought a deep freezer a decade ago.

LOL...
The electricity cost of a deep freezer is expensive.
And for the chest model...stuff tends to get overlooked and languashes in the bottom of the freezer, lurking.


No, it's not, at all.  The average upright freezer uses 45W on average, that's around the cost savings from 2 meals based on what I can save by buying a half cow with my brothers. Heck, the purchase price and operating cost for the first decade get paid off in the first order or two.
