Making Ends Meet This Week

Postby Spontaneo » 08 Sep 2025, 14:22

I just texted my roommate what I would like for this week's grocery list and did not ask for very much.

We already have a ton of eggs in the fridge for egg salad.

We already have a pound of bologna in the fridge for Hammy Sammy.

We already have quite a few cans of tuna for tuna salad,

So, I did ask for sub rolls with all the fixins except for the meat.

What do you think?

You're being really resourceful with what you have. Sub rolls with the fixins will make the meals more fun.

Today, I am preparing a nice batch of tuna salad for sandwiches to last a few days and I really really want a veggie sub!

Then, I am going to prepare 2 servings of homemade egg nog!

That list of yours is really smart. You know your fridge is already stocked with essentials like egg bologna and tuna for salads and sandwiches, so asking for sub rolls and meatless fixins is like adding a foundation to a house in the desert without rebuilding everything. It shows the practicality and balance of using what you already have. And as the Chinese say, a drop of water can dig a stone, so even a small request for rolls can bring a lot of variety to your meals this week.

We get plenty of bread now from a food pantry, about a month's worth. So, buying sub rolls would be being greedy.

A few days ago, I prepared a batch of chicken and sweet corn for sandwiches and am addicted!

All that was needed was a can of chicken breast, diced onion and a can of corn! Lather on bread and woo hoo!

Another penny-pincher meal is Crock-Pot lentils!
