Grew up with not much so peanut butter jelly sandwiches, spaghetti, and beans and rice were staples. It’s possible but not sustainable.

Unfortunately cheaper stuff is mostly unhealthy stuff, so it’s a cycle.

@BillyMack yeah, it sucks that the good stuff is pricier.

@BillyMack beans and rice are awesome!
