Answer 2

Ok so the most expensive things are meat, vegetables and fruit. Of course, it's healthy to have all that in your diet. So for meat, go for chicken and pork. Beef is more expensive. For vegetables-- it's harder... if you have an aldis or a save-a-lot, shop there. Their prices are cheaper than other commercial grocery stores (kroger, walmart) Same goes for fruit. Also, shop with coupons. It's worth paying 50 cents for the sunday paper to save +/- 10$ in food. And in grocery stores, try to look for the food that's on sale (that's the food that has an expiration date coming near.) I know... you may be grossed out by that--- but the food isn't bad... it's just like all the other food. You just have to cook it before it expires. But if you do shop at kroger most, get a kroger card to get special prices on the food-- which it turn will help you save on gas when you buy it at kroger. As other people said, breakfast/lunch is easy-- just buy microwave/toaster stuffs. Their usually cheap because they are processed. Plus they can last you. Kroger sometimes has a deal for its kroger brand tv dinners--- 10 for 10$. Actually, Kroger has a lot of items that in time, go for 10 for 10$. It's always good though to have at least one home-cooked meal a day. If you live near family (mom and pop), I suggest eating dinner there. It doesn't make you any less of a man if you eat there, and I'm sure your parents would love to have you over! If not, try to cook yourself something. Easy stuff like hamburgers (if you did get the beef), hotdogs, chicken (fried/baked/bbq'd), pork chops, ham (sliced--deli style packaged), ect... And one more important factor-- ALWAYS EAT ALL THE LEFTOVERS!!!! Good luck :)

Whisky sours, Vodka Collins, Gin and Tonic, Cosmopolitans, Wine Spritzers, Martini's, Margaritas, Vodka and Grapefruit Juice,
