Until recently I had no problems keeping my bill down to very little. But things changed and due to another person in my life we now have to keep the salt content down, the fat content down, and all that. I have continually been shocked at the amount of salt in food. A lot of so called normal foods we can't have due to the salt content alone. Campbells soup is a big one. Loaded with salt. Unless you buy the healthy request and it is so nasty I can't stomach it. No savings if you can't eat it. I need to learn how to make soup without adding all the salt. Any suggestions. I hate beans but he doesn't so we do cook them with a low fat ham. more salt than I would like but i have to do what i can. A few things we can no longer eat: Hamburger helper, Beef, (we eat ground turkey), rice a roni, pasta roni, water added pancake mix (betty crocker makes one that isn't too bad but still have to limit), pot pies, frozen dinners (even the "healthy ones") all loaded with salt. I was so amazed when i started ready labels. I had no idea how much salt I was eating. We don't drink soda. i only drink water, he drink juice and water. no tea is made at home. We do eat fish, chicken, but eventually you run out of recipes.
