How to buy groceries on a really, really, really tight budget

[CrowAsylum101]

I think the best way to learn to live on a budget is to cook like an immigrant. using basic ingredients and learning how to cook cheap cuts of beef, pork and chicken. I'm a college student and I learned that, if you live in a rural area, buy from local farms (super cheap and they usually deliver) or if you live in a city shop markets (ones with lots of foreign vendors) they will have cheap cheap food you can haggle for. ( most produce less than a 1$) or stop by roadside stands

I realize that this is a video on cheap food, but if you eat the nitrate-laden, fat, pesticide sprayed, empty calorie starches, gluten-containing, pastuerized (yes that's bad), genetically-modified, sodium laden, BPA-laced toxic stuff shown here you will absolutely die of an avoidable disease soon. Eat whole foods. Avoid processed foods. Healthy, relatively inexpensive choices would be pinto beans, organic bananas & lettuce, and grass-fed, hormone-free ground beef or chicken. visit A-1 market

@GamertagTOWELLIE I get your point but unfortunately, those foods are tough to buy for people with a tight budget since fresh, organic produce is ridiculously expensive. That's the reason why so many people are in shitty health because they cannot AFFORD to get the items you mentioned and have to buy the ramen noodles and chef boyardees...christ....

@GamertagTOWELLIE I get your point as well peachy, and you're absolutely right. I often think that the main plan of these corporations is to force us to buy their crappy food, visit their western medicine facilites and die an early death. I've been unemployed for the past 4 months and I still eat nearly completely organic. I grow most of my own vegetables and am considering getting some chickens. Dandelions are easy to grow and are healthier than almost anything at a typical grocery store.
