Hmmm... maybe in distant parts of the globe.

I lived in England for awhile. Shepherd's pie was pretty popular over
there. They served it at some pubs.

It was mashed potatoes over ground beef or lamb, I think.

I love mashed potatoes.

My mom used to make shepherd's pie and other things from the UK. She
was from Scotland. She also dressed my brothers up in kilts for
pictures sometimes.

My food stocks are high.
I'm loaded.
I have some ground beef one pound fwozzen (frozen),
a new potato masher I got from an antique store,
and have potatoes that need "processing".
Besides plusly, I have the New York Times CookBook.

Know what I do with hamburgers?
I might throw in a good sized handfull of powdered potatoes and three
eggs, mash it all up one onion diced.

I scoop out a hamber sized glop of hamburger and slip it into a baggie.
I shape the hamburger directly in the zip top sandwich baggie.
Clean and simple.
Snatch the baggie of choice from the freazzer when I feel a need for
hamburger fix.
Freezer.

Seven good sized hamburgers from a pound.
powdered potatoes, about a baseball size
can of mushrooms, about gulf ball sized,
diced onion about a baseball size, and three eggs.

Smaller eggs. Third size down fom the Super Jumbo Giant size.

Might go read some receipes for Shepards pie.
No killing cute little Billy goat babies?
Okay.

Damo, you are probably a much better cook than me... I do microwave
dinners and so on. If I have to eat cheap it's the kind that cost $1
(Budget Gourmet) and stuff like Ramen noodles. Rarely is there ever
any cooking going on around my place.

Gelly,
Throw a handfull of rice into a can of soup, close to the end throw in a
can of peas or whatever.

Tuna, if its chicken noodle soup used to make rice in.

I have maybe two dozen cans of te cheap tuna in my pantry. 59 cents a
can maybe since it went up.

Over the winter the 49 cent cheap tuna has gone up about twenty cents.

Don't buy cheap hot dogs. Buy brand names with "pork" as an ingrediant.
Its still cheap and usually significantly better flavor.

THOUSANDS of ways to use hot dogs.

Cut em as dimes and fry em before you drop your breakfast eggs on them.
Throw one into..say you have a chicken thigh your boiling for soup,
throw in one pork containing hot dog. GREAT chicken enhancing flavor.

Put a bag of hot dogs and a can saur craut in a pot and boil it, You
have two days of food.

Remove a hot dog and some kraut, or whatever it is you might use, and
microwave it serving by serving.

Coffee too, used to be easy to find dollar a can coffee but as of late
that doesn't even come close.
The "cheap cans" are now 2 dollars plus change.........since all the
rich people lost the money.....
since the winter.

The price of eggs for me went up a dollar easy.
Milk only 35 cents per half gallon.

I only live on six dollars a day for food and clothing budget. After
bills.
ALMOST seven dollars a day.

I invested my rebate check from January into food and long term items
cheap and on bargain sales.

I KNEW it immediately.
We're kids in the bath tub and somebody knocked the drain plug out.
So I have prepared for the "depression".

After Bush gives me the free money life will be sweeter.

Everything rises in price, faster and faster then the prices collapse,
and nobody has any money to spend. and thats the depression.

I had six hundred on the rebate, and I lived good (er) for three months.
Have forty about left plus my april benefit check.

I have an actual walk-in pantry with two walls of shelves.

I made a bet that the prices were going to zoom up.
So that pantry is stocked well.

Only bought high bargains.
NO chicken ove 99 a pound.
Mostly 69 cents a pound.
Thighs and leg quarters mostly.
Each individually zip locked baggie frozen.

I won't need toilet paper until armagedden gets here.
I have a store of light bulbs.

My plan was to face the summer with low stress as I won't hear about an
army pension I should qualify for until late summer.

So MANY expenses will not arise at increased costs because..welll.....
I won't be able to eat. Not without making it to the soup kitchen
downtown.

I did well.

Lotsa cans. Eadibles too not just canned veggies and cranberry sauce.

So.....no matter what with prices increasing on everything except real
esate I've made a GOOD investment with high return on the dollar.

Just trying to get by.

Also I threw OUT everything with hdrogenated fats and have several boxe
of GOOD saltines (2.50) instead of the dollar box made with hydrogenated
fats.
I bought health savy cause my doc gave me colestero pills.
I've had to eat ths stuff for years now.
Its the worst thing in the world for our heart.

Its against the law in NYC for restaurants to serve food with it in to
people

Crock pots can make a place feel warm and homey.
Thing is you have on plan on feezer storage from the very beginning.
I'm only eating crockpot food for three days in a row.
So I freeze some immediately.

I believe I made some wise choices with my rebate check.
One thing, I didn't buy a pile of coffee in time.
Its already up by a dollar...almost....

Invest in import foods.
Companies that export food to the US (internationals) will be getting a
high exchange rate. Brazilian coffee companies.....
Would that work? No.....
It would still cost the same in Reals they use.

Buy a rice cooker.

I got six months before I hear if I qualify for an army pension because
my income is so low. It takes a year to hear and receive.

So I figger I have three months maybe four months of store put away.
That means two more months afterwards and I'll find out.

Get a fishing license would be smart.

And make my last CD.
Use it when I play the streets.
I bought a pack of cheap digital audio CDs and am loaded with
jewelcases.
And strings.
Bought ahead on strings.
My excellent lady friend and artist has already started paining my
picture for the inserts.

It sounds like you are great at managing money. I wish you luck on the
pension or any other benefit you may qualify for.

Arg. Way too much work for me! I'll stick with the frozen dinners and
eating straight from the can! I'm bad!
