Buy fresh vegetables, find a local butcher if you eat meats, and cook your own non-processed foods. Most of what you pay for is packaging and processing.

Kevbo_Jones Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 hmmm.... farmers markets and mexicans... maybe ill try that. To the leonie thread! I promise it works. Feeding 4 people(6 some weekends) and 2 dogs would be rough if I relied on grocery stores for everything. Also, if you haven't already, become a member at a Sam's Club and buy things in bulk. It may cost more in the beginning but you will save a ton in the long haul. Fresh foods are the way to go, especially if you're culinarily inclined. The food I cook for house guests is pretty epic as evidenced in their willingess to say they would pay good money to eat it if I charged them.

Depends on where you live too.[/quote'] The National Defense Authorization Act is definitely more strictly enforced than jay walking friend. I suggest you read up on it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012 More importantly... the Act states that Congress "affirms" this authority and makes specific provisions as to the exercise of that authority. [13][14] The detention provisions of the Act have received critical attention by, among others, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, and some media sources which are concerned about the scope of the President's authority, including contentions that those whom they claim may be held indefinitely could include U.S. citizens arrested on American soil, including arrests by members of the Armed Forces. The bill passed the House 283 to 136. Luckily for you, it seems that collecting rainwater is limited mostly to western states and isn't illegal on Louisiana...

Its all about the BK Heart Attack. you eat one of these and u aint gonna be hungry for week. thus all your weekly grocery shopping, all in one place! no wonder they are strapping up. i dont blame them. after pounding back a few of those i would feel tempted to grab a servers *** and tell her to bring me a 4 litre soda to wash that down with. thus rocking the helmet. me i dont have those kind of balls. instead i would rock the full face shield.
