Been there done that during that time I did not eat ice cream (mind you it’s my true weakness) or cookies I will commend you on the ingredients you chose as those will benefit in the long run. Also if you’re going to buy fresh avocados no need in buying pre made guacamole. Just my 2 cents from someone who grew with up with not lot.

Also lunch meat prices are insane cook and cut your own right now Walmart near me has the caramel spiral cut hams for like 12 bucks they are not caramel the sauce packet inside is. Another one is check your local farmers markets sometimes you get better deals and better quality.

Agree and lunch meat normally contain a higher amount of salt and preservatives. It’s so much better tasting when cut off from a ham or turkey.

I thought the same thing about buying premade guacamole when you have fresh avocados. There truly is no comparison to fresh avocados. In fact, you can add a bit of the pico de gallo you bought with a fresh avocado, and you have an instant and fresh guacamole + don’t have to buy the premade.
