My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It’s just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?
Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.
I have planted my vegetable garden. But that’s mostly for fun instead of for survival.
I have been doing some permaculture, foraging and native foods for fun. I think we should all know how to feed ourselves outside of big corporations. I have done lots of medicinal herbs over the last few years. I have been using them with my family and friends and it’s been delicious and fun. I keep finding new things I can use with things around my house.
My goal this year is going to be around drying foods. I had a fascinating learning / conversation with a native farmer from NATIFS about drying foods. Apparently you can basically dry everything with almost no supplies using sun and wind. So I want to practice with any excess fresh foods I have. I want to try to make my own dried soup mixes for the winter
