Can't afford to eat all day....$ is tight

Plain oatmeal and a banana.
Right now I can get 2 weeks worth of oatmeal for $2 and 3 pounds of bananas for $1.
The banana sweetens the oatmeal perfectly and it keeps me full for a while.

where the HECK you buyin your nanners Girl??:sad: I think I saw green ones at 69¢ lb.:sad: Don't tell me, you have an Aldi's right?:sad: :ohwell: :bigsmile: Oh well, great ideas on the oatmeal though...it is CHEAP for sure and not bad for us either. It keeps me content until the next meal.

I think it's great with everyone sharing tips on what they eat and how they do it more cost effective, since we're all in this together with the economy and trying to eat well.:happy:

Buy oatmeal in the bulk bins. It's often .50 a pound or so.

My nanners are at Sav-A-Lot....don't know if u guys have one. We have an Aldi but I've never been yet. People that I know who have gone, say it's not cheaper than Sav-A-Lot, so why drive over there?
I also get most of my fruits and veggies from the veggie stand. I catch him when he's going home and doesn't want to pack everything back up....he loads me up!
