Supermarket Routine

I used to buy a lot of more expensive convenience foods. Now, on a fixed income, it is meat, chicken, potatoes, cheese, cat necessities. I do powdered milk to eliminate waste. Soy milk for spouse. No desserts except an occasional treat and ice cream tubs. I bake and use rice and pasta to vary the dishes I make. Tinned tomatoes, and some spices. Cheaper meats go into the crockpot, throw is some bullion cubes and water. Good meals at an inexpensive cost. A little soy or balsamic vinegar can really heighten the taste. I get a steak spice (now only at IGA), it really perks up beef. No pork except occasional roast, price has skyrocketed. Whole chooks in slowcooker, then can get several meals, including alfredo pasta, mexican casserole and chicken, potstoes and veg. Have been trying gardening, but soil here is the pits. Will take some time to get it right, but tomatoes, yes! Better from the garden and so cheap to grow! Have a standard pantry so only rarely deviate. Pinterest new main eals and lots of baking ones. That is my favourite thing, baking.
