Bizi,
I love asparagus! My mother had some growing wild in the yard when I was kid. She would cut some for dinner with a pair of scissors. The last two times, I bought asparagus, I did not share with hubby --- just rinsed them and ate them raw!!
I enjoy pork sometimes, but I only eat it when hubby is not around or when I am at a restaurant. Hubby does not like the smell of it.
For $1.50 I can get a 14 OZ bag of black eyed peas that will last the two of us several meals. I add garlic and water . . . . , so each meal is about twenty five cents. Hubby eats them with rice or adds other veggies to make a nice dish for us.
On weeks when I am really trying to cut down the grocery bill, I buy cabbage. That is just about the cheapest, most nutritious, and most versatile vegetable I know.
