I am a big fan of the "whatever is on sale" method of shopping to keep food expenses down. Provided that it is actually cheaper than the alternatives (not always the case) and that it is still something I will eat, though that is a pretty big category.
Yeah, ramen should be more like 25ยข a packet, or less. Unfortunately, most of the supermarkets seem to only carry Maruchan, which makes exactly zero vegetarian flavors (their oriental flavor contains beef). So if I want ramen, I'm stuck getting Nissin from the convenience store. I ought to hit up the Japanese grocery on Mass Ave at some point though and see how their prices are.
I have been eating far too much kibble lately.
And I'd love to come cook with you sometime. Part of the reason I've been eating poorly lately is that I have a hard time coming up with the effort to cook real food when I'm the only one it's going to feed.
