I’m extremely lucky in that I live directly across the street from a neighborhood grocery store. Man, what luxury! My husband and I just moved here and it isn’t exactly a perfect house, so we still look. Not sure I can give up the grocery store though. It would have to be really really perfect.

The wire used for weed eaters perhaps?

Buttermilk will last LONG past its “best by” date. Like two or more months longer and probably longer than that. But even I have a cut off date! I use buttermilk for cornbread and other baked goods, fish/shrimp/oyster fry soak with crystal hot sauce, buttermilk brioche French toast.

Yup. Also, a more full fridge or freezer uses less energy than an empty one.

As others have rightly already pointed out, North America is not laid out for European style shopping.

So, unfortunately, much of America is set up so that there aren’t stores within walking distance or biking distance, and ‘nuff said about the lack of decent public transportation. Reducing food waste is awesome, but reducing burning fossil fuels is awesome, too, so for the folks in a situation where driving is…

And they helped shape how I cook today — probably my first formative…

They get more and more rare. Which is good because they tend to color all “olds” with a disdainful clueless brush. 

I don’t disagree on the weird monetizing scheme, though i wonder if they have thought things through — that they are cutting out many of the folks who most would benefit. I’d assume folks in the tv industry might have massive blind spots on what struggling people can afford in terms of accessing the show.

Can they tell me how to buy a package of fresh chicken breasts for less than $15?

These shops sell Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Monster, Mtn Dew, Sprite and so on... It’s soda in the broad sense of the word.

My house, utilities, etc - is still less expensive and far more commodious.

and after they blow all their money, they’ll expect you to take care of them. This will likely happen anyway, but a cruise ship retirement may speed it up a bit. At least they can say they got something tangible out of it rather than if they their money to a televangelist.
