I actually eat less of things to save money.
Instead of chips, which I love, I get nothing.
Instead of soda, which I love, I get nothing.
Not that I never buy these things, but if I’m conserving, I just actively cut back,
Gotta shout out that a good CSA shouldn’t break the bank for just vegetables, and that you can save a lot on meat by buying whole or partial animal shares.
(And yes, to whomever said it, canning is a fine way to preserve meat, provided you have a pressure canner, but ugh. The quality is whack. Even professionally canned meats are found in the “bachelor chow” aisle.)
