On the topic of fats: I've noticed those little premade chef salads and things priced 2 for $10 for less than the amount of food I make myself... But if I got some deli slices of meat and cheese for the week, boiled a few eggs, and used my standard greens I would get like 5 slightly meatier meals for that price... As for my pets, I'll have to show off their dishes one morning :) I also like to boil cheap meats for my dogs and cats when I find stuff on sale! My pets love cow tails a lot, and a butcher by my house gives them to me for like .50 a pop :) it's enough meat for everyone to get a taste (even the rat)
