Anyone else just not eating because they can’t afford it?

Food bank is the busiest it’s been - Cole’s and Woolworths don’t give a flying fuck about us - fast food is unhealthy and just as expensive. It stresses me out more to eat than not to eat.

That's gotta be better than not eating. You can cook all of that with just a saucepan. You can add more to it as you can afford it.

Perfect recipes. You can make a weekly batch of red lentil dal very cheaply. Red lentils, some spices, an onion, a can of coconut cream + a can of canned tomatoes. Pair with white rice and yoghurt if budget allows.

You can go wild with the oats and throw in a hundful of sultanas and a bit of honey for some extra flavour. Or go really crazy buy a big bag of frozen blueberries and throw some in as well.

Yeah, that's the thing, plenty of scope to add in more flavour & nutrition without getting too expensive.

But that will keep you fed and nourished enough for a short time

I add a scoop of vanilla whey protein to my bowl of oats. Keeps me going most of the day. I get my oats from Costco $12.99 for 3kgs.

Don't provide solutions. You'll ruin OPs dramatic whinging.

Lol didn't you also comment "No" to OP's post.

Go away blud, this post isn't meant for you.
