A neighbor lectured me for 30 minutes about my $70 meal plan, but she had a point
Last Tuesday at the apartment laundry room, this older lady named Carol saw my grocery list and just went off. She said I was wasting money buying pre-chopped veggies and single serve rice cups when a 10 pound bag of potatoes costs like $3.50. She showed me her own list, all basics like lentils, frozen spinach, and chicken thighs, and calculated her weekly total at $45 for two people. I was annoyed at first, but then I actually tried her tip about soaking dry beans overnight and my chili recipe got 3 extra meals out of it. Anyone else had a random stranger completely rewire how they shop for cheap eats?
