Frozen veggies are well and good if you can tolerate them not being fresh. Congrats btw on quitting smoking. I used to smoke for 27 years, it truly was worth getting rid of that terrible habit.
What spices? And yes, fuxk cigarettes!0 -

And a lot of avocado which I love but I can't really afford it all the time.
Everything that you use ground beef for, use ground turkey instead. It's half the price and half the calories.
One of your best investments would be a food scale if you don't have one. You can find them for $15 and they are essential to tracking your intake accurately.0 -

Here's a tip I picked up from my ex. Watch the meat section for sales on things that have reached the "best before" or expiry date, usually they'll go on sale on the date actually marked. They're still good, and you can freeze them for later. You can get a nice piece of filet mignon, or a beautiful roast (which will feed everyone) for like 40-70% off that way.0
