Oh the bounty of fall...My cherry tomatoes are ripening at the rate of 2-3 cups every couple of days. This is the first time I have grown cherry tomatoes and they come off the vine so darn sweet! YUM.
Next year, I dont think I will grow lettuce- mine was bitter this year..and I really enjoy costco's romaine lettuce and get six heads for about $3... But I will definately do zucchini, tomatoes, and sunflowers. I am still waiting on the pumpkins..
I was reading the following article with interest today. The writer decided to write a series of articles about eating on a $30 per week budget (which is what she determined is the average food stamp budget) The commenters on the article pretty much ripped the story to shreds. It will be interesting to read her follow up stories...
Harvest Time!

I think it's all relative. Produce in California is cheap and widely varied. This may be harder to pull of in other areas of the States.
I personally eat a lot of meat, too, so I am not thinking of any extreme/cheap diet. I don't drink much but tap water. People spend a LOT of money on drinks.

I don't understand the hostility either - there's a lot of difference between a couple hundred/ week and thirty/week. Learn a little bit, drop your food budget a little bit, eat what you do buy. You can learn a lot if you stop with the hating.
