I agree on cooking at home, especially from ingredients not boxes! I don’t get much hunting around here, but I do have a rancher friend so I buy pastured pork and grass-fed beef on the hoof, which is way cheaper and better quality. I often make my own bread and pasta, saving a lot of money that way as well.
I bought an espresso machine so I don’t waste money on all those fancy $tarbuck$ drinks. And I can control how much (if any) sugar goes into my espresso drinks.
