When I was a student, I signed up for the college's food bank. Once every two weeks, I was entitled to a reusable bag worth of non-perishable food items and toiletries. for FREE!

Great advice, thanks! It's a shame how eating Healthy & Cheap are almost an oxymoron with the prices we pay.

@lorax2013 Well said

"Extreme couponing". I dumpster Sunday coupons from recycling bins, sort the pages into stacks, cut 5-10 of the same coupon at a time and organize them in a binder. I bring the binder to the store and when I see a good sale price on an item I use, I look for a coupon. When I get a good price, I buy as many as I can. I log prices & weight/volume in a spreadsheet to determine the lowest price paid. I'm getting below wholesale prices, inflation hedging and am prepared for emergencies/shortages.

@lorax2013 that's all just stuff created by humans, used for employment, mass control, technique, knowledge. You on the other hand, talk about the basis behind all this. The MEANINGS of life. The creating itself, the thought behind, the idea put into motion.

First we stopped watching TV - mainly the news.
We have a monitor for Netflix documentaries that will educate and inform.
Next, we went vegetarian.
Then we started composting to add to our soil, because next, we started
growing our food. We live in urban Oakland and have a yard the size of a postage stamp. But like you said - that's all you need. And even if I didn't have this backyard, the house next door is abandoned -so there's no excuse to not plant! Now, we heal...
Thanks again

@consciousnesswarrior- I am sprouting, which gives new meaning to seed stores. Seeds store for years. No one can garden seriously without learning to compost.
Composting is the foundation of growing food. I'm going to build a composter right away. Your observation about the medical field is spot on. I want to die in my garden, and be buried there too. My wife thinks that's a good idea...like right now.lol.
Like everything else, we give them too much power. But we do it with consent.

@pjamesbda Totally agree...jarring and pickling produce is also a good way to preserve food. The commercial food industry is killing us slowly, making healthy living nearly impossible and really pumping up the pharmaceutical industry (which also seems to pump itself up via side effects). We live longer, but, certainly not without a certain amount of suffering and pain. Call me crazy, but, I go without subjecting myself to the medical industry as much as possible.
I have watched some of your videos with great interest. I have come to the conclusion that you know everything. There is nothing you don't know. You are all knowing and you are conveying that to us.

@nld1960 There are an enormous number of topics I know almost nothing about - pro sports, computer games, pop culture... If most people put half the effort into studying economics, health, or consciousness that they put into watching TV, they'd probably know more than me.
