Vagemite is a black australian food. It is made from leftover brewars' yeast extract. Almost every australian eat it for breakfast

I only listed the most common fast food chains because a lot of fast food chains are not readily available in other states and countries.

I've always had a garden and a peach tree forever. How many of you plan to grow some of your own food this year, or... hunt or fish for it?

It costs to grow vegetables.. fertilizer, seed, water, but there is no mistaking fresh and if you are fortunate, it may save some $ Items like:
lettuce, kale- easy and productive
peas - gives for a month or so
green beans - produces several crops, freeze well
cucumbers - can for pickles
zucchini - very productive
All these are easy to grow if you have the space
Potatoes are easy to grow, hard to store! I like the red kind, but don't seem to store well.
Tomatoes are productive but give a burst all at one time, but may have to can them

Fruit Trees are a lot of work... bugs, pruning, bees, spraying. Maybe try some shrubs like blueberries! I just started some.

The US National Debt has more than doubled in 10 years, that equates to about 7% per year inflation rough math. As the currency is devalued, everything gets more expensive, shrinks in size, quality is reduced, or production shifted to where is cheaper. Noticed how there is now about 10 m&m's in a package and they taste like chemicals? Yuck! If you aren't getting big raises, then you've been falling behind which is why your electric, gas, food, health is chewing up your budget. Keep in mind if you make 3% in an investment, you pay tax on that, so it isn't 3%, it's more like 1.5%. I'm not that great at math... maybe I'm wrong by a few digits, but not wrong by reality of living expenses!

Appreciate your farmers, it's hard work and they are under paid.
