No car. Burnt out. A high-income household one day, then not. Trying to hold the line at $100 to $150 a week for groceries while pregnant and relying on delivery because she can&rsquo;t drive.</p> <p>The responses were mostly generous and practical. Bulk cooking, freezer meals, slow cookers, food banks, jacket potatoes on a tired Tuesday night. Real advice from people who clearly know what it&rsquo;s like to stand in a kitchen at 6pm with nothing planned and children who are hungry right now.</p>https://left4more.com/posts/the-humble-drumstick-budget-eating-that-actually-t/Sun, 03 May 2026 21:55:08 +1000https://left4more.com/posts/the-humble-drumstick-budget-eating-that-actually-t/<p>There&rsquo;s been a good discussion floating around online lately about chicken drumsticks, and honestly, it hit home. With grocery prices still being what they are — and anyone who&rsquo;s done a Coles or Woolies run recently knows exactly what I&rsquo;m talking about — drumsticks have quietly become one of the best value proteins you can throw in your trolley. A 2kg bag for under ten bucks? In this economy, that&rsquo;s basically a miracle.</p>
