Quoted: Popcorn rice with butter, salt and pepper. With the soda probably about 75 cents. https://i.imgur.com/4svK1kd.jpg FJB You could have cut your meal cost in more than half by not having the soda. |

You are not truly poor until you live weeks at a time on bologna sandwiches with mustard.

I was at a point in the late 99s where I had $10 a week for food.
Eggs were $.50 a dozen, loaf of bread was a buck. Splurge on some cheese slices, and maybe some ground sausage if I came across a few spare bucks. I still can't eat a fried egg sammich. |

But you do have to actually cook. Though for most working-class families, doing tacos al pastor right (especially marinating and then grilling the pork properly) is going to be a weekend-only affair. But a pork shoulder is a lotta meat, so you could make a week's worth.

Why don't you skip breakfast and lunch and do OMAD (one meal a day). Will save you money and you'll be much healthier.
Intermittent fasting will take some getting used to but it's quite easy. Start out skipping breakfast only. Have black coffee and alot of water. Then when you find it easy enough go ahead and try skipping Iunch as well. You can have a good dinner and still save money. |
