No HEB where I'm at; that's a pretty good deal.canned tuna is still pretty cheap. I would sure get that before 1 lb of baloney..
10lb bag of leg qtrs at the local H-E-B are $4.86.
Less than $.49/lb....
Of course, you still gotta cook them.
I survived on mac and cheese so I could get out of college with no debt. Taco Tuesdays were the only time I didn't eat mac and cheese. Back then mac was ten for a buck.I've never seen whole wheat and white bread priced the same. A pound of bologna at Wal-mart is $1.48. The only thing you're getting cheaper than that is bulk or whole chicken, and a significant portion of that will be inedible. If you can make fresh meats and veggies cheaper than a 34 cent box of mac and cheese, good for you.
Yea, I've never heard of HEB. We had a Market Basket and a Piggly Wiggly when I was a kid. Now, we just have a James' Super Save. YeeHaw!No HEB where I'm at; that's a pretty good deal.
It kills your budget.Ya'll missin out if you aren't buying Dave's Killer Bread/White Bread Done Right...
ONLY, $6.16/24 oz loaf.....

Sounds like you found something that works and that's good. It's interesting that you say you do eat some sweets. The energy drinks surprised me too, which ones do you drink? Is the carbonated water Topo Chico?
I've admittedly got a terrible diet. I'd have a really hard time not eating bread and corn. Sugary snacks I could do without. For the last year there's days were I go through a period of just not feeling right then later on I'll feel fine. It's got to be someting I'm eating or not getting in my system. I also eat allot of fast food when I'm working. Neither of us have a craving for fast food like allot of people do so on our days off we eat very liitle fast food unless we are on the road. I've read about the diet your on and people talk about how hard it is for someone that's on the go or works shift work to maintain. I'm not trying to say you don't have a hectic schedule but I've just read that's It's hard to maintain. Especially if you have an active social life which luckily we do not have.
I would be leary of some of this with out doing research or consulting others. What your sugar levels may like your colon or other parts may not.
Ramen noodles are really bad for youI don't believe that precludes eating healthy. One of my favorite meals is Raman (cheap) with fresh veggies cooked with the noodles. I know I can buy fresh meats for less per pound than bologna, and eggs are still reasonable compared to processed meats. Portion control is easier using fresh foods too. Every white bread I see has the same brand of whole wheat right next to it that is priced the same. A lot of the cheaper breads have less added sugar.
The real issue is convenience. People that don't want to cook eat crap. If they can't microwave something they feel abused. And then they have to finish the 64 ounces of chemically enhanced and sugar laden lasagna because they don't like leftovers.
Anyone who goes to a cattle forum for medical advice probably has the same mental shortcomings as anyone who thinks a conversation on experiences qualifies as advice.You mean to tell me I shouldn't be going to the cattle forum for medical advice?
No but this is the most fashion conscious bunch you've ever seen. We can have you looking preppy in no time!You mean to tell me I shouldn't be going to the cattle forum for medical advice?
I wouldn't go that far.No but this is the most fashion conscious bunch you've ever seen. We can have you looking preppy in no time!
I am on Lipitor and my glucose has rising for the past few years also.Some statins will drive blood sugar up and apparently become permanent after a while. Reading about Lipitor it says it may make you a diabetic, but the good outweighs the bad. My 86 yo mother never had a problem until she was put on Lipitor with glucose levels and she takes glipizide now.
