When grocery shopping, I have this concept of “rainy day food”. It’s not a very original idea, but I hadn’t seen anyone describe it as a formal strategy, so I gave the concept a name to make it easier to understand.

Basically, “rainy day food” is non-perishable food like pasta, macaroni and cheese, instant potatoes, etc, that I can make and eat when I’m broke or when the weather is too bad for me to want to trek to the grocery store. I try to keep about a week worth of “rainy day food” in the cabinets, just in case. Since the temperatures have warmed up from the sub-zero temps we had earlier this week, I went to the grocery store today to replenish.

Pasta and canned sauces are good. Not only are the canned sauces cheaper, but they won’t break if you drop them. They ought to keep me going for awhile – at least until payday.
