I’m trying to learn to buy groceries, cook for myself again.

Can’t afford to buy and keep produce. Limited cookware. So, any recipe telling me to crush garlic, dice onions, etc, can’t do.

Need budget, ghetto, for people on a fixed income, easy no frills way to make diy tomato paste pasta sauce.

Good suggestions so far. Tks. I have 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 butter knife ; 1 small sauce pan; Only stores nearby are corner stores. Hardly any produce. Having to make due with what you can find in a liquor store.

    I gotta be honest if you don’t have the ability to chop onions or garlic you might as well just buy pre-made sauce my man.

      Yeah I kinda feel like the first step would be to figure out how to do that rather than trying to sidestep the issue

      There’s ways to cut stuff up without actually handling a knife if it’s like a physical issue - those little mini food processors for example are really good for most veggies (they struggle on harder or stringy things but for onions and garlic and whatnot they’re pretty good)
