Anybody with a couple hundred square feet of yard to spare can raise chickens (for eggs, no rooster needed), rabbits (for meat), and Jerusalem artichokes*/sunchokes for carbs for very little money/effort and dramatically reduce your food bill (not to mention your dependence on Piggly Wiggly). No skill and very little money needed.
*Parboil before cooking or they’ll give you “the wind.”
I can’t ‘do’ rabbits - they’re too CUTE to eat and should just be used for Angora yarn and the random Lucky Rabbit’s Foot...because THAT doesn’t hurt them, Right? ;)
But I will say that those Sunchokes (as they’re also called) are invasive, so be careful where you plant them - unless you want ALL of your carbs from that source. (They ARE yummy!)
I LOVE my Piggly Wiggly! They have the best markdowns I’ve ever come across as far as grocery stores go. :)
