Yeah… I guess I …
Yeah… I guess I consider that more a neccessity for work. I think of grated cheese as a condiment (I know, not really), and since I can’t stand the chemical Kraft stuff, I just can’t justify it. I get it as a treat.
I also eat more rice than pasta because it’s cheaper by the pound. Also, dried beans are cheaper than canned beans. In case anyone’s interested. lol
that’s a great idea.
