Vegetarians can use chick peas to make a vegan chicken salad.... Same texture and close to the taste, just no actual chicken.

A bag of dried beans would Introduce more protein too.

Lastly, where are the apples and bananas? No fruit?

Those uncrustables,though delicious, cost way more than they're worth. You would spend as much, maybe even less, on peanut butter and jelly in jars, which would obviously last much longer.

For fun, I tried to find similar or same items for a local grocery store to me to see the price difference… it’s roughly $160CAD. That’s a crazy difference.

Minus a few things on the left, cause it’s hard to tell what they are.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think buying a cat with your groceries was a great idea, what aisle was it in?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not enough PS5 to balance the cost.

PURGE the muffins and Swiss rolls unless you're bodybuilding

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This looks like you did ok, I would check the prices on dried beans, those are usually cheap and a nutritional powerhouse. I strongly dislike the junk food you bought (personally) but don't think it's blowing up your budget. I make bread instead of buying it but that's because I like fancy bread.

Overall - if you are vegetarian not vegan, I think eggs, dry beans, brown rice, tomato paste would be good additions and I will add my voice to the chorus expressing dismay at your choice of canned green beans. If you are underweight, nuts too - expensive but so good and so many calories, healthy fat and protein.

If you are up north, it's a good time to start some seeds indoors, grow something you like to eat, if you are like me in a warm place, can start them outdoors now.

And I do think you did OK.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I assume you are making the cat into tacos and for that you made some good choices

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I wish I could get this much food, I keep ending up buying candles instead

I'm so hungry

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The kitty seems impressed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love store brand little Debbie treats

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

You're doing a great job for a 5 year old (based on the Uncrustables)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How much did you pay for the cat and how would you cook it?

It's an old meme, but it checks out.

People are out here choosing to eat canned green beans? When you could just as easily eat NOTHING and have roughly the same nutritional value and none of the slimy, masochistic horror show that is canned green beans. (I don't care for canned green beans).

I'm no nutritionist, but that seems incorrect based on my cursory Google search. lol

I actually like canned green beans slightly more than fresh or frozen. It has something to do with the texture, but idk what exactly. Though imo most veggies are definitely better fresh, for some reason I really enjoy canned peas too (I know I'm a weirdo).

In one half cup serving you get:

Calories: 15

Fat: 0

Sodium: 15mg, 1%

Total Carbohydrate: 3g, 1%

Fiber: 1g, 4%

Protein, 1g

Calcium, 25mg, 1%

Iron, 1mg, 6%

Potassium, 60mg, 2%

Nutritionally, I don't think your body will notice if you don't eat the green beans. But if you like them, by all means (beans)!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my opinion, the only acceptable way to eat most vegetables is roasted and seasoned. Frozen vegetables are easier to roast as they are part cooked before frozen.

If I go to a restaurant and I receive boiled vegetables I won't go there again. Sick freaks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

On Thanksgiving, my aunt boils broccoli and potatoes and serves them totally unseasoned. Not even salt. 😢

It's one of many reasons why I haven't gone in years.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More veggies, less Smuckers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have cravings for Uncrustables. I know that you can just like... make a pbj for way cheaper, but they just hit different.

Probably all the added sugar, lmao.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh, I see someone's making swiss roll enchiladas!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

With Alfredo sauce, just like Mom used to make.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Did you really need to splurg on the Thomas bagel thins vs great value?!

/s

I'm joking that's mental

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can't afford uncrustables or the Mac n cheese. No need for any of the 3 jars. $5 muffins??? Wtf.

Learn to fucking cook.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Get better tortillas.

Stores should stock some from local mexican markets.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

You’re eating far too much healthy food. Try mixing in some junk to balance things out.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Am I missing the beans here? Or is this insane to have all these fixens and no beans?
