That's how much the otter pops cost here. $4 for 80 of them. I can't find candy or anything else cheaper. Am looking for a small sweet treat to give to people in the winter. Tips for super cheap home made sweets welcome. Especially if it's not just water and hfcs like the otter pops are. please remember packaging as part of the cost, though. Ziplock type bags eat away that cost. But if you know of…
I make lunches for my three kids (2 tweens and a 9yr old) and my wife every day. Bread has gotten so expensive, so sandwiches have become a luxury! I make homemade bread, but I can't keep up with demand, so some store-bought loaves are necessary. Sometimes I do wraps since tortillas are cheaper, but the feedback is that they tend to fall apart. I would love ideas for filling, non-sandwich lunches…

I am pescatarian and have been awful at budgeting for pretty much my whole adult existence. I'm going to be in a situation that is going to require me to not spend more than 80 dollars a week on groceries for myself. Some low budget meals I've been thinking of are eggs, top ramen with egg, pasta... I don't really fuck with canned fish. Any words of advice? submitted by /u/Le_serpenttt [link]…
Might have left in the oven too long because it lost the crunch but still delicious. I found out the smaller ones were the hot and big ones were mild. submitted by /u/mlong14 [link] [comments]

A store nearby had a great offer on ground pork, so I decided that it was time for a fake wienerschnitzel!

Remember to give the schnitzel and potatoes a good squise of lemon juice just before serving. With that, I got a hop water! It's a great…
