We eat what we have in stock.
I set my targets for 2020
It was about time (I am getting older) and my options to save are nihil.
What I save has to be paid by my monthly income/budget and this means cut on foid.
I am not the only one doing this. Many Dutch families do exactly the same. I envy those who buy a lot of food first and see "later" which bill they can afford to pay. I do not like to have debts and as long as I can prevent it I will.
We eat what we have in stock.
A few times a year I buy vegetables in can or glasses. I always have oatmeal flakes and flour, try to have oil. I have peanut butter, chocolate spread, rice, and some basic ingredients.
My main concern is the children still have something to eat, eat some fruit, vegetables, and have a snack which they can eat during the school day. They leave between 5:30 am and 7 am without breakfast.
What did we eat in the past days?
I bought some potatoes and fried them.
No peeling, they are eaten with the peel.
Only the bus-kid had bread with it.
These are chicken burgers and they were vacuum packed. Without a fridge, this is the only way to store meat longer.
We had pancakes.
I made them with water, oatmeal, a bit flour, and raisins only.
Some applesauce was left.
We had fried rice twice.
I cooked too much so enough for two days.
One day we ate it with an omelet and peanut sauce...
**The second day we had it with a sausage and what was left of the peanut sauce and rice.
The sausage is pork, sold with 6 and vacuum-packed too.
A part of the (white) rice I used to make rice milk for the youngest. It preferred eating that instead of fried rice but ate the sausage.
To some it is breakfast to us dinner.
My children love beans (all kinds of) and they are healthy.
They say it provides against cancer. Not many people still eat beans but we do. It is cheap and you only need to heat them up which I can do on the woodstove.
For the week coming up, I have plenty of food left so I hope I do not need the 3 euro I can afford to spend this week.
I just need to figure out what we will eat.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I am going through a tight situation myself.
You reminded me that I have some potatoes that I can use for tomorrow. I have some lentils and rice for a week, then I might be able to relax a little bit and I can start saving again.
But I hope to find some more work soon. I hope that things improve for you too.
@shaidon It will all work out fine. We have food and not shopping saves a lot.
It is good to hear you still have food and now it is time to be creative and relax. With some species, herbs, sugar or... (whatever is left) you can make good food.
I keep my fingers crossed for you, for more work.or a better paid job. 💕
Thank you. Yes, this is a very good tip. I got some cheap spices to make what I have taste better and last a bit longer.
@shaidon I wonder how the past days went for you and how you are doing now. I am far behind with answering due to a slow connection but hope to catch up today if my connection stays.
Take care 💕
I am doing OK. I will be paid on Wednesday and then I can start saving money again. I managed to find a list of charities and free food places to help me out. I have enough eggs, 2 minute noodles and veggies to last me until then.
I need to find some paid work.

Happy day @oneray. 💕

When we cook with love, everything tastes better
Esto es muy cierto y además te rinde la comida.
This is very true and also gives you the food.
Claro que sí. Venimos de un país donde el amor ha hecho maravillas tanto en la cocina como en las relaciones personales. Venezuela es la máximo @gertu.
Gracias por dejar un comentario.
Un abrazo en la distancia.
Looks as tasty as it could be despite simple ingredients !shop

Oh my God！我竟然不知道你想说什么！
Howdy there wakeupkitty! I just sent you 5 steem for winning the League last week, congratulations and well done! I like the way you plan your food budget and make it work with little expense, well done on that too!
@janton Thank you very much. I am very happy with it.
I will see how gar we get with the food budget. The cupboard is not empty yet. Thank you forvyour kind comment and generous gift. ❤️
You are very welcome wakeupkitty. Do you live in The Netherlands? Is it expensive to live there?
@janton Yes and yes it is very expensive to live their unless you are rich.
If I paid rent, gas/electricity, water and the health insurance forced by law I spent 82% or more of my income. From the arrest I need to save in all kind of boxes to pay other insurances, the yearly taxes for the house, garbage, dogs, the internet, schooled/schoolcosts, clothes, shoes, glasses children, dentist, driving a car and the yearly test, etc etc. Which means I have nothing left to eat after I paid it. More and more have debts especially if it comes to the health insurance and the dentist is luxury for many these days so is the doctor.
❤️
Howdy wakeupkitty! I understand and thanks for elaborating on the situation. Well perhaps Steem will rise and Steemit will turn into a good income maker!
@janton I hope that happens. 😁 I joined too late. Enjoy the day. ❤️
Yes I joined too late also, right when the price collapsed and the big earnings were gone. But they may be back some day.
@janton We go for that 😀 It is good to have something to look forward to. Have a great day. ❤️
Me gustan las papas con su concha. Estas se ven ricas. Mis mejores deseos porque puedas superar esta nueva crisis.
Yo iniciaré con buen pié. Tengo suficiente para varias semanas de concurso. Pero en la casa, las cosas están de color morado. Comienzan las inscripciones de mi hijo y, hay Dios. Es terrible.
Feliz día amiga @wakeupkitty.
I like potatoes with their shell. These look rich. My best wishes because you can overcome this new crisis.
I will start with good footing. I have enough for several weeks of competition. But in the house, things are purple. My son's inscriptions begin and, there is God. It's awful.
Happy friend day @wakeupkitty.
@gertu I wish you strength and love. With creativity we can deal with all of it. ❤️
Gracias @wakeupkitty.
