  1. In the US a very basic weekly food budget for a single person changed dramatically between 1970 and the present. Shared are 3 of the 7 photos a Reddit member shared to illustrate their comments. I was shocked because:

    “Can confirm. In 1970 | was a very poor college student living off campus. That first photo labeled 1970 looked like my weekly grocery shopping. I exactly had $10 as my food budget! And, if I wanted to go to a rock concert I had to save the money from the weekly grocery budget. I DID get to see a lot of greats. Stones/Jefferson Airplane/ Moody Blues etc. it was worth almost starving then, ha-ha!”

  5. I'm always on the lookout for super cheap recipes for people trying to stretch their food budget; cheap plus simple is the gold standard. Well, litotes and metonyms, I found a pretty good chili with just five ingredients:

    CRAZY SIMPLE CHILI

    1 lb ground beef
    15 oz tomato sauce
    15 oz kidney beans (drained)
    15 oz chili beans (undrained)
    2 Tbsp chili powder

    Cook the beef into crumbles, add the other ingredients, simmer until it's bubbly. That's it. That's like $3 plus whatever a pound of beef costs, and it takes a half hour.

    Chili experts will no doubt tell me that it would be better with more ingredients; and they're right! I'm just going for what I consider the simplest recipe that still constitutes good chili. By all means, improve upon this recipe as you see fit.

    Will add that I made this today but with fake vegan beef, and it tasted exactly like normal chili, but was 100% vegan.

    Oh, the original source of the recipe:

  6. #CW #VegeterianFood For anyone on a #FoodBudget this is one of our mainstays: homemade gluten free (have a coeliac in the house) #BostonBeans but without the meat! Costs approx $10 for a huge pot that does 6-8 adult meals alongside extras. We have beans on toast with egg, beans with mashed potato, my makau who eats meat has beans with sausages, I have beans with broccoli if I have any in the garden or it's on special ($1.50 head at Countdown here this week!) I'm happy to post recipe if asked to.
