...eating less ...

Cooking and baking are the new time-killers.
I have full/stuffed freezers/pantry and while I do run out of some things, I am applying every trick I’ve learned in 77 years to stretch our food supply. 2 old people don’t eat a lot.
I bought one 14-lb turkey for .99/lb 2 weeks ago. Had to cook it after defrosting because I had no room in the freezers. So far, it has provided 5 meals, with enough left for another 8 or so, not counting the carcass and drippings for soup.
At this rate, we’re good for another 2 months. Maybe longer.
Turkeys are a GREAT cost/serving meat source.
We usually stock up 3 or 4 extras in the freezer when they go cheap the week after Thanksgiving and eat on those for several months.
We make stock with the bones and use that for soup with garden veg, a little rice, a little pasta and it’s yummy.
