 Today's meat - 3 chuck roasts and a london broil for ~ $78, a little less than 14 lbs of beef. actual average price per pound, $5.69.  This is roughly a week's worth of meat, now all sliced up into steaks and mostly in my freezer.  How many of you are eating on $80/wk?

Also bought 4 lbs of bacon ends & pieces for $10, but those are mostly for my wife.

I've been eating a lot of butter lately. I snack on it, just little slivers - cut a pat off, then cut it into 4-5 pieces.  But I've been eating 1-2 4oz blocks per day.  That's probably too much.

The binge didn't quite end with shopping - got a couple donuts and a 40oz bottle of cold brew coffee (unsweetened) to finish it off.  

The psychology swimming around my head today, though! Went dark a couple times. This addiction shit sucks.  Managed to work my way out of it, literally - lots of little household/mechanical chores and fixes (mostly work out in the garage).  That's always been my go-to - start tinkering around with tools on projects, mainly for other people's benefit, and let the thoughts run themselves through.  Not ignoring them, accepting them, and giving myself a way to move on.
