    I like the idea of a premeasured meal with a recipe because I can't cook shit, but after reading about the various services you can run into everything from the wrong order to bad ingredients to meals that just don't fill you up or taste like crap.

    Since I've been living on my own I can shop well and average 3.50-4.00 per meal if I'm careful. But most of it isn't fresh and I buy at places like M&M foods and the frozen aisle at Superstore

    I made a crockpot roast with spuds, carrots, onions, mushrooms, garlic, celery and that was a pretty big deal for me

    There's a website I like, Budget Bytes, this chick loves cooking cheap and tasty meals. It's not your mom's meatloaf either, nice international recipes and good ideas that also don't require you to go buy $9 of some spice you'll never use again.

    She's also posting lots of meal prep recently which is a cool idea, but I can't eat the same meal all fucking week, I'd shoot myself by Thursday

    Bookmarked and thanks.

    I found if you do some reading, not every frozen food is loaded with preservatives and garbage. Stouffers makes these bags of chicken and vegetables called Skillet Sensations and you either nuke them or cook in a pan on the stove.

    I've tried lots of M&M's foods and while not everything is great, I still swear by the Butter Chicken and Basmati rice when on sale. For 7.99 you get 907 grams (two pounds) and that's two meals for me. They have some breaded chicken strips on sale for 14.99 and you get 3 pounds...

    but I know what you mean about the same thing....I eat nothing but chicken for a month straight in various forms. While healthy, I do feel the wings and feathers sprouting


    Gotta hand it my Ma. She made something different every night for decades and it was all good. Red meat, chicken, fish, three sides with every meal.

    You don't know what you had until it's gone

    I bought Silent Hunter III, a U-boat simulator from the early 2000's

    only 9.99 and holy crap, completely in depth if you'll pardon the pun. You have to use a notepad and tools to come up with a firing solution for torpedoes

    Some pieces of software rock and are built to last

    Ya Vegan is a bit much, but I do kind of unintentionally eat vegitarian meals once or twice a week and it doesn't hurt.

    I really like her Dragon Noodles recipe. It's like an easier version of making Pad Thai. I do add a few more ingredients to the sauce (usually ginger, garlic, sesame oil and onions on top of the sriracha, soy and brown sugar). It's my wife's favorite dish I make

    Bought my wife and myself a new used truck: 2015 Chevrolet Slivarado 1500. It's a LTZ, so leather and all the bells and whistles, including and sunroof. I got it for a real good price due to end of year and month ssles, as well as that dealership is a club sponsor (for my Camaro club) so an additional 15% off. I'll post a pic later. Too dark now

    Ugg. I hate spending money on house stuff, lol. I’ve got to fix our washing machine before it goes completely out. Bearing is going bad, and really gotta get off my arse and replace the eaves and soffits.

    Yeah it went past -30 yesterday for us too.

    Asshole rich brother gives me another lame gift for Xmas citing - We didn't have much money this year...and then I catch him shopping for a winter jacket that's in between 600 and 850 dollars depending on the site, for himself.

    I said - Hey maybe don't fly here and rent cars next year. Save some money and pass along those savings with our gifts (for me and my sister).

    The drama continues
