It’s a lot of pork, beans, rice, frozen veggies, unsweetened Coconut not-milk. I buy some store brand junk food too I’ll admit. The sausage and cheese addiction inflates costs too. Fresh fruit usually I just get banana, kiwi, and watermelon sometimes if it’s on sale. I buy some frozen fruit but it’s much less than veggie. I don’t need the calories.
It’s insane that in Canada it takes me $400-$600 a month for 1 person to eat basic, but non-processed food. 2 meals a day, basic breakfast of eggs and a meat with maybe cheese, and a dinner of a protein and veg and maybe rice. I cook everything from scratch including bread and use everything, like bones for broth, etc. It’s getting impossible for low income Canadians to even hope to eat relatively healthy, but at least the shareholders get bonuses every year…
I help my roomie out who is on AISH he’s autistic enough to qualify but before he moved in it was a lot of bulk barn dry pasta, rice, beans and then no name brand pasta sauce cans supplemented with food bank :( I only charge him $450 for rent so he can eat better now.
I aim for less than $500. In Canada, so…
