(57,494 posts)... times a week, then came Pandemic. We are now eating better than ever and and even though our grocery bill is higher, we are net savers by not eating out more than two or three times a month.
All this is a great thing. We've almost cut beef out of our diet, maybe twice a month. We eat some pork, but mostly poultry and fish with at least three vegetarian dinners a week. I bake bread weekly and cook. We try to eat in season, try to use foods that aren't flown in from other nations, try to use farmer's markets as much as we can. Gardening is tough but we do have hydroponics in our home and we get peppers and tomatoes, greens and basil from them as well as some flowers.
Cutting out fast food and cutting down on restaurant meals made it all possible and we have more money in the bank,
