Protip for PF. Stop buying snack food and prepared food. It’s not only terrible food, it’s also pricey. I buy bulk meat( and freeze), and rice, from Sam’s club, as well as weekly 2lb bags of broccoli florets, and 2paks almond milk. Bulk lentils from indian store. Buy less than $10 woth of odds and ends weekly from local grocery. My monthly food bill is about a $100. It was about $85 before recent inflation. I feel like i eat really well, and don’t feel undernourished

Sams club really is awesome if you can afford them.

For the $100 plus membership you can get a ton of specials shipped to you for free. Shipping takes a while tho, but their stuff is so cheap and you get sooo much. For a family it’s great. A time saver too

I just have the standard membership and it’s only $45. What is the benefit of the plus?

Oh, gotcha. I have one on the way home from work, so I don’t ever use shipping.
