Thanks Tas.... That sounds like quite a project to make! :~\
I discovered the joys of ethnic groceries.
You can buy brown rice and garbanzo beans for a pittance in an Indian grocery compared to a US one...You can also buy in volume...
For about 6 bucks you can make a month of dog food.
You have chicken...which is more for flavor than anything..
You make a complete protein with a bean and a grain...Vegetarian 101.
Vitamins with the veggies..
Make it once a month...Freezer is essential...
