      I know just what you mean! Heck, sometimes my husband and I find that cooking for two is even hard. We end up eating leftovers once or twice, and throw away the rest as we have a tiny freezer. Groceries sure are high - we are in our 70's, and by the end of the month, our cupboard looks pretty bare, so we end up eating lots of pasta, rice, oatmeal, and other inexpensive stuff. I have even started making our own saltine crackers, tortillas, etc. Saving a buck or two adds up! 😊

    I'm glad you are eating well. I have friends who are older and live alone who tell me they hate to cook just for themselves, so they have cereal for supper. At least the food you bought is meat, veg and potato. People who complain about your diet are probably younger and able to spend long periods of time cooking. I was a nurse and worked in a nursing home most people do not understand that not everyone can even stand long enough or carry pans of food around due to the weight of it.

    Loved seeing what you picked out Mr Tom ❤ I think it’s so smart for you to shop & pick items that make your life easier during hard times - so you have quick, easy meals for when your tired or not feeling well (our cream cheese is expensive too. Due to allergies we have to buy straight from the farm - can’t have the xantham or guar gum in commercial, store bought cream cheese. Our gum free cream cheese runs $33 for 12 oz - that includes shipping with cold packs 🤯 bagels have to come from an organic allergy friendly bakery & are $6.99 for 5. You can see why we only have bagels & cream cheese once and a blue moon even though we love them. Being poor on a disability pension it’s hard to swing). Best of luck with your appointments ❤ praying for good news 🙏

    I bought my little grocery haul today too. I was sticker shocked because the majority of the 24 items I bought were on sale. My total was 140.00 for 24 items! My dozen of eggs was 3.99, 3 bananas 1.06, both were way up since I bought some last month. I didn't even buy the other things that I needed because I had set my budget this month at 150.00 for groceries. We buy what we can when we have the money and do without until next month. I'm glad you could buy what you did...sensible items. Planning a grocery haul is getting harder and harder especially with the prices of everything getting out of reach and let's not forget all of the food recalls every time you turn around. In my haul, I only bought two meats, chicken thigh's 1.79/lb. and porkchops 3.99/lb. and both were on sale. Sad to say, last week the freezer in the garage where I put all of my frozen meats, veggies, etc. died and everything was spoiled. I've decided not to get another freezer (prices too high). There go my prepping ideas. I do hope Tom that everything turns out alright with your procedure and you'll be back in the saddle, ready to tackle your yard with gusto or at least with a little more energy. Take care, don't overdo and stay safe my friend.

    It's not just the drives and time, it's the thinking about what to cook,clean up etc , also the stress of what's going on , when your routine is out of kilter it takes time to get back to normal again and some quick yummy things on hand are just great !
    One less thing to think about, mentioning that fried baloney has sandwich got me thinking, I love those !
    Take a load off Mr Tom, you've been running around sorting things out prior to your trips , the garden, meals,the kitties- have a sweet tea and put your feet up !

The Banquet meals & pot pies you got are way, way cheaper than here!! I ended up getting frozen peas, lima beans, and noodles that were on sale.

The cheapest mayo in the grocery store was $5.99, and the cottage cheese I wanted was over $4.50, so we skipped all that. Ended up buying 3 tomatoes and 2 cucumbers so we could have some version of "salad", and I made our own dressing - turned out good. We live in an apartment, and I am growing cherry tomatoes (already have 4 on the vine), carrots, lettuce, sage, and peas in buckets on our balcony. Bought the seeds from the dollar store at 4 for $1.25. We are in our 70's and are using our old hippie gardening skills we learned back in the 60's! ❤

    Mr. Tom, we like those Banquet pot pies, too. We are both in our 70's, and often, we have more month than groceries, these days. After watching your recent dried bean video, I have been making a big pot of pinto or navy beans every week, and eating them with homemade tortillas or cornbread. We live in Texas, and go to a little Mexican grocery store to get beans for 69-cents a pound, but the darned onions we cook them with are at least $1.39 lb, which is crazy. We pretty much can just not afford lettuce, mayo, bacon, any kind of bread, baking potatoes, ground beef, real butter, crackers, jelly, most coffee, and lots of other stuff we used to buy.
    But as summer comes in, tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers have been under $1 a pound, so that has been our salad. We can get ground pork for $2.10 a pound, so I use that in place of ground beef, drained and rinsed well to curb the fat. I have been making cornbread, tortillas, and biscuits for bread, and even made a small oatmeal cake the other day, only took a half cup of sugar from a 1lb bag we bought from a dollar store. The dollar store is cheaper on SOME things, like pancake syrup, movado sugar, vanilla flavoring, and cheapo Mexican coffee, which my husband says grows hair on his chest! And we are growing cherry tomatoes, carrots, sage, parsley, peas, in buckets on our apartment balcony (we live in a large city, in the 'hood) - every little bit helps! ❤❤❤

    With everything I have going on, most nights it’s all I can do to fry a bit of meat and open a couple cans of veggies and throw them in the microwave. I’m glad you got some easy to make things and comfort foods for when you don’t feel like cooking at all! (I like a good steak and cheese hot pocket for that when I find them on a good sale.)

    That’s a good haul Tom. Gotta have a few splurge items. Doctor visits and yard work take a toll. And that savory treat awaiting you in the kitchen, will be key to your happiness while doing some tough tasks. At this point in the game, our meals are very important to us and our comfort level. Everything you do has a purpose and a plan. And it makes me hungry. Take it easy in the yard . Don’t over do it.

    Mr Tom, I completely understand the times one don't feel like cooking and all you want is something easy. There's nothing wrong with that. Life gets busy sometimes. We just need to eat something during trying times, and wait for those days when we can be a little creative in the kitchen. I plan ahead as much as possible and freeze up things that are on sale and cook them up when I'm able. Some days I just ain;t able and a can of soup will do.

    I buy the same Dole Coleslaw when I am too lazy to make my own, or if not feeling well. It is the best one. It’s good to do a little extra prepping when something comes up and you need to rest. I always try to keep some frozen meals. Sometimes I make my own and store in the freezer. I am very organized due to my history. I see you are the same way. Before you know it, you will be scampering around the yard and everything will be behind you. Blessings to you Tom, keep the videos coming as long as you can before your procedure. If I can do anything please let me know in a comment or a response……😻

    Convenience foods are good to have for those times when you just don't feel like cooking.. as a widow now I'm not as inspired to cook especially baking in the oven anymore. I do batch cook big pots of Chili, Vegetable Soup and Beans with ham soup and freeze it and eat bologna sandwiches just about every day. I don't buy TV dinners but I do buy bean and cheese burrito's pretty often a handy heat up in the microwave for dinner. Now my dogs don't go hungry I boil chicken for them and often Can up meats for them and of course emergency stock up for all of us. Anna In Ohio

    At Super Saver, head of lettuce is $4 and some change. I passed. I'll find a head of lettuce elsewhere. They charge 10% too at the checkout, so by the time tax and 10%, it'd be $5 and some change for 1 head of lettuce.

    Evening Mr. Tom. I grew up in Gadsden, Alabama. Have been away from there since 206. I sure miss it. Sounds like prices there are about the same as here in Oklahoma. Going to the grocery store is quite depressing now. Everything is just so high! Gas is headed back up too! I love pot pies! So do my dogs! Hope you have a great weekend!

    I do have those times when I don't want to cook and that's mostly because I don't want to clean up the mess! This past week I made American Goulash, Meatloaf, a small chuck roast (maybe 3 pounds at most), and a double recipe of butternut squash soup. So I don't have to cook now for 2-3 weeks at least! Yippee! I have some lunch meat and plenty of other things I can fix so I don't have to cook. So maybe if I am lucky I won't have to cook for a month! HaHa Well except for the occasional breakfast. Oh and I have some of those breaded fish patties in the freezer to make your version of McDonald's fish sandwich! So Good!!

    I’ve been watching an English Channel called Wall Flowers UK. They are a couple who have to be very thrifty because of rising food and heating oil prices in England. She takes a turn at several food co-ops and all the workers get to take home certain items at a reduced price. She has a small garden and will also gleans some herbs at local wild areas. She feels like every little bit helps! She’s inspired me to tuck all kinds of things away to make meals more interesting.

    I am in Australia, and your prices are pretty good. For us we pay for pies Australian $6 - $7 dollars each, canned hams are $12, beans in a can $3 - $4, bananas are $4.50 a kilo, cottage cheese $5 - $6, tub of pasta salad $5 - $6, lettuce $3 - $5, dairy seems sort of similar prices and tomatoes any where from $4 - $10 depending on the seasons. Bread is around $3 - $7 a loaf. Our prices are going through the roof as well. You have a good mix of fresh and prepared foods on your shopping day.

    Hi Mr Tom most of the items you purchased are higher in my area. I buy the Dole cabbage along with packaged salad mixes. The frozen dinners you bought go great with a small salad. I enjoy bagels with the cream cheese. A lot of the time I just have the bagel with butter and sometimes I’ve been known to use Mrs Dashes lemon pepper or the Italian seasonings. Gives a different approach to the meal. The little canned hams you purchased are really great items to have in the pantry. They have many uses. The first thing I thought when I saw the chub of bologna was fried bologna sandwiches. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for your upcoming procedure. Take care and stay hydrated when your outside in the heat 🙃 much love to you and the kitty crew 🙏💕
