snapits, the store always has bargains.
Any good cook knows how to make magic with some spices & veggies & pasta.
Chicken is still cheap & fish is on sale, pork is often reasonable. Oven roasted keilbasi with onions & potatoes is hearty & a crowd pleaser. I don't eat much beef, love lamb but that's VERY expensive, even lamb shanks are too costly.
Eggs are a good source of protein & still cheap.
For a change of pace, we have several good Chinese Restaurants nearby, you can get a lunch special; soup, entree with fried rice for $5.25, I get 2 meals out of it. I order it just before 3:00, that is the end of the lunch special. You can't beat it.
I heard Romney has had a tuna sandwich for lunch for over 20 years... proves just how boring he is!
Meanwhile Obama has sampled grasshoppers, dog & other weird foods, like arugella ;))
Obama 2012, Lets Stay Together! haha
