Country people, like farming people know what you are speaking about. Meal servings, planned for calories and nutritional value. Pasta is our friend, potatoes crucial and really important are canned goods. Not all fresh frozen like this guy clearly buys.
Keep on hand dry milk for reconstitution with water— gives as much or more in calcium than jug milk. Eggs— eggs can be put into all sorts of meals, boiled, fried, mixed in vegetable/meat casseroles to up the protein content.
Simple foods with minor cooking skills required. And every now and then some grocery loss leads real meat cuts at substantial discounts— you have to make a career about knowing when they show up.
And one more thing- have a freezer for bulk purchase protein buys.
Thanks DesertRhino!
“Keep on hand dry milk for reconstitution with water”.
That’s a very good one. Easy to overlook that!
And you know, when we ate that way, we were healthier.
