NONfood and drink items

When you're living on next to nothing, on a budget, have to feed yourself and your family daily weekly monthly like I have done starting when I was 16 years old. I learned what to do when I only had 5 bucks to spend for a day to eat and survive.

Shopping for groceries is easy peasy for me: Go straight to the fresh food aisles for meat vegetables and fruit. Use caution in the frozen food aisle: get flash frozen fruit, veggies and some types of meat that do not have coatings of msg flour funky unknown flavorings.

Fresh food: Meat, veg, fruit, dairy: eggs, milk, butter

Beverages: Stick with plain tea, coffee and make it myself

Spices: buy separate individual plain fresh, dehydrated. Avoid any type of concoction that is already put together as a lot of of them contain mostly salt msg miscellaneous unknown ingredients such as "natural flavor" 

Sparingly buy any processed food in bags, boxes, cans, bottles (any type of container) such as snacks and beverages. 

Avoid these 

Processed by man, factory/factories, farmed fake 

Sugar loaded drinks and artificially sweetened, dyed, color, enchanced, beverages

soda, flavor aid koolaid, gatorade, sports drinks, fruit flavor usually in plastic containers 

CANDY

COOKIES

CAKES

CUPCAKES 

PIE (SOME, NOT ALL)

DONUTS/DOUGHNUTS

prepackaged mixes: gravy, sauces, seasonings, fake cheese sauces usually in powder form
