Tight budget ? Price of protein eating into your budget? TRY TOFU

Grocery Haul

Hi all. I'm living on student loans on a very tight budget, was looking for ways to cut down on food expenses since that's something i can control (cant control rent nor car payment). Bought Extra firm Tofu for the first time from Costco at under 7 dollars for 4 pounds of tofu. Made half a pound of tofu about 30 minutes ago tossed with some soy+honey+garlic sauce... and it was VERY SATISFYING. I wish i would have tried this sooner. Anyway, try the tofu! I got the extra firm and the texture was good when i airfried it. Make sure you toss it in the pan after airfrying in some kind of sauce and let it simmer for a minute or two so it absorbs the flavor. They do get a surpringly crispy exterior in the air fryer. Great experience, and excellent value for my budget.
