Thanks for an entertaining read, Livvy. Yes we across the water (from your homeland) are being challenged to find cheaper and easier ways to feed ourselves.

There are only two of us at home these days, and I still spend over $200 each week. If could gear myself up for a cooking day I may well be able to save some money, but that takes effort!

But also, for health reasons we follow a keto diet, so much as I love beans and legumes, these cannot be part of our diet.

Still, I love a challenge, so I'm going to have a think about all you said. I'll be back.
