Not a bad haul, I might be biased as an Australian, but that looks like good value for money for food that's balanced and easy to cook.

As a fellow non-meat eater, I am deeply disturbed by the lack of legumes in this photo, but if you're not a fan of cooking from dried, then I get it, canned can get expensive for what you get out of it.

Some charred chickpeas with olive oil lightly smashed on that rosemary bread would end up being my breakfast for a week straight if this was my house.

What do you mean no meat? The cat is right there!

(Kidding, I love my cat.)

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Oh I assumed that was a cat for farming fur balls, not meat.

Don't know how expensive is in Australia, but in Europe most of the time you can find the supermarket brands of legumes at about a euro for a can (medium sized). So it's not that bad, and more practical unless you are cooking for several people.

Not too far off, $1AUD (0.60 euros) would be a cheap can of beans (which is often mostly water, even if it's a 400g can, once you drain the beans, your millage varies by brand) $3 a can is average for name brands that fill the can to the brim.

But when you can buy 500g of dried beans for $3.99, and that will make the equivalent of 8-10 cans of beans, as someone who doesn't eat meat (and has allergies so can't eat commercial "mock meats"), I eat at least 2 serves of legumes every single day. Buying cans adds up at that scale even though I'm just one person. So I always buy dry legumes when I can.

I definitely have some cans in the pantry for emergencies though, because they are very convenient.

But I also have some pre-cooked, unseasoned beans and chick peas in the freezer, when I cook up a big pot I always throw a few portions in the freezer. They defrost in less than a minute in the microwave, so I'll use them before I crack open a can of beans.
