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

Let people eat what they want.

Pro tip: if you post your grocery haul on this sub with a bag of chips, someone is going to come for you over it.

Does anyone else barf at the thought of eating the same few things nonstop? Maybe it’s a neuro diverse brain thing or maybe not.

I wish i had the luxury of variety. I just grew to like eating pretty much the same thing everyday. What makes it worth it is my $100 monthly food bill.
