I’m trying to learn to buy groceries, cook for myself again.
Can’t afford to buy and keep produce. Limited cookware. So, any recipe telling me to crush garlic, dice onions, etc, can’t do.
Need budget, ghetto, for people on a fixed income, easy no frills way to make diy tomato paste pasta sauce.
Good suggestions so far. Tks. I have 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 butter knife ; 1 small sauce pan; Only stores nearby are corner stores. Hardly any produce. Having to make due with what you can find in a liquor store.
It sounds like you want something good, cheap and easy. I think you can only pick 2 of those requirements.
I know you’re asking for tomato sauce, presumably for pasta, but look at what poor people have historically eaten. For example, beans and rice will feed you for pennies, but don’t buy the canned beans, get a big bag for cheap. It’s more work to soak and boil them, but that’s your savings (labor). Dried beans and rice, when kept dry can last a decade.
I’m sure there are other cheap, filling foods, but I am tired.
