Of course I will be relying heavily on the great overlord Walmart. They are known to be RV friendly.with ample parking for rigs. I always thought that they should have expanded to include an RV park on their property complete with black water dump and RV repair. Unfortunately, the Wally-Marts up in the New England area have posted no overnight parking signs in the parking lots. I don't think they enforce it because I see RV's of all shapes and sizes in the summer parked there. Why would they want to loose that business? Someone in upper management has their head firmly up their buttocks.
So, I believe I will have no problem with acquiring cheap food during my trip. So here is a list of food so far.
Stuff That will keep:
Ramen Noodles
Peanut Butter
Spam
Canned Corn
Canned Peas
Baked Beans
Spam
Canned Soup & Chowda
Spam
Anything Else Canned that tickles my fancy.
Pickles
Tortilla Chips
I'm still working on it but I think I'm at a good start. I will buy fresh fruit and veggies along the way. Of course I will have an ample water supply for drinking as well as other refreshments.
My goal is to not exceed my budget of twenty dollars a day. That gives me a hundred and forty dollars for weekly groceries and I don't think I will go over sixty. But I set twenty as my number.
I have plenty of storage space in the old girl so space will not be a problem. I was going to remove the old fridge because it does not work but I think I will keep it as a cooler and stick a bag or two of ice on the top shelf to keep things cold.
remarkably, the old refrigerator will not keep food as cool as you would think, as simone can attest to. i suspect it may be that old fridges were not well insulated. however, they do keep rattlesnakes out. to which i can attest. May i suggest huge bags of brown rice/grains? keeps long, swells large when cooked for a well-fed feeling in the tummy. Dried fruits are excellent sources of nutrition as are nuts. you can soak the dried fruit, cut it up and add to cereal, oatmeal, and fresh salad, yogurt. buy from farmers markets or large co-ops when you can to save money. or direct from farms at stands.
