Yesterday I stopped and got “fast food,” which for me is a whole roast chicken. I used to being them home for dinner, then use another portion to make salads, then the remainder would be torn up for chicken soup. The chicken I got yesterday was the size of a game hen. It actually fit in a salad bowl. I got two extra salads out of it, but nothing left over for soup. And it was the same price as always.
Always eat a big meal before shopping for food. That way, the smaller portion per price ratio, while just as real, doesn’t feel as drastic.
We had a roasted chicken last night, left over veggies tonight and chicken salad tomorrow. That chicken doesn’t go as far as it used to. I just wish I could cook one like they do in the stores.
We’ve cut out deserts and may have no more than one coke a day. But the bill keeps going up.
I used to buy a twelve pack of beer for less than $5.00. I don’t drink anymore but I don’t understand how anyone can afford to drink today. Same with smoking. I quit 5 years ago. There’s no way we could afford to smoke today. I don’t know how the average person can afford to smoke or drink.
