and different kinds of sugars have differnt uses too, so don't go grabbing a huge bag. next, head down to the meat isle, look around for anything less than 4 dollars a lb. meat is delicious, but you can't go wasting your money on it either, remember you can freeze meat, so don't feel too afraid to pick up something thats in the manager special selection. Avoid beef to avoid paying hand over ass for meat. fish is also pretty expensive, but talapia is versatile and usually under 4 dollars a lb, and the best part? low mercury content, so you can have it as often as you feel like. don't bother with more than a can or two of tuna. shits bad for the environment and your health unless you eat like no fish ever. for a while, use the 4 dollars or less per lb price guide, once youre good at managing your intake and budget, treat yourself as a reward, but nice cuts are for good girls.

Now that you have some meat and flour, head over to the condiment rack, buy any condiments you'll use the most frequently, DO NOT GET MORE THAN 15 DOLLARS OF REFRIGERATED CONDIMENTS. hot sauce and worschticher are one thing, but nobody, not even you, enjoys opening the fridge to a billion different half used and probably expired condiments obscuring the entire fridge door. don't go over 20-30 here, you're already running almost dry and you still need spices.

Now onto the spice racks, this is our last stop, spices are finicky little bastards and girls who live on tv dinners can get lost here, so buy carefully and cheaply, cracked pepper and nice salts can come later, grab the bare minimum for now on your first pantry run, you'll want to grab some cumin for your mexican stuff, some oregano or italian spices for the italin stuff, some cyanne pepper for some heat, and some chicken stock. these are basics used in a lot of different foods. next buy whatever extras you want. just dont forget to pick up some eggs with your change

by now you've blown all your money on one little trip. <c>

Tips are for fags, in my state every server gets paid minimum wage, period. the other hard working shifts do not get any of the share and do 3-5 times the work a server does, not that their jobs aren't hard, just not lifing 80+ lbs what smells like liquid shit into a dumpster between every meal, burning your hands to carry hot plates out to the screaming public, and swatting away the servers who are all too eager to grab dirty silver ware to use when they run out.

there has never been a group of entitled whiners larger than the resteraunt industry servers
