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.

    Was worried about buying onions, peppers, and them going bad too quickly. One onion, one bell pepper. That will work

      Always go to the produce and meat sections first. If you can buy small great. If not then the canned goods you buy just enough to meet your needs for cooking all the produce/meat.
