I am starting this post to record how I buy groceries, plan meals, and eat on my present $87.00 a month in Food Stamps. I am 65 years old, on a fixed income, which I live on. I will share what I have discovered while trying to survive on Food Stamps.
I also eat the "old way". My family comes from southwest Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and were all farmers who lived off the land. They raised their food, their animals, and whatever they got from what the land provided wild. I think this is a simple way to eat and live.
I don't embrace the tofu culture. I'm sure that everything I see in magazines and new cookbooks is healthy, but it is also expensive and it requires a whole new way of eating. I prefer to stay with what worked for my ancestors. Not to say that I do not try new dishes, or have anything against them. I just think it is hard to eat like we are "supposed" to because of the cost. I will explain my views as I go along.
