Another thing I buy a lot of is bones. They're usually very cheap and boiled up they make good soups, casseroles etc. Despite the cheap price bones normally have a lot of meat (protein and fat) on them and get me by for maybe 6-8 meals by adding carrots, celery, onion, sometimes barley. Just have to be careful to get the little bones out after slow cooking and being aware that small bones might remain when you're eating. Bone broths/soups/casseroles can provide good nutrition, including calcium and in my neck of the woods they're cheap. Don't tell anyone they're cheap, though, because they make delicious meals

I use a new needle for my basal because basal is the first insulin I take in a day. If some basal is still in the needle when I bolus, or some bolus left when I next bolus, I would have wanted that insulin anyway. I cover the needle left on the pen and keep in a very clean container. If I wonder about infection, I apply some disinfectant on the injection site. I've never had a problem and have a budget that requires being frugal.

I’m with you on bones. I get mine free of charge at my local farmers market. I say free but I do buy a pack of their minced beef. The bones brewed in a slow cooker makes soup for the week. Healthy and wholesome. For a deeper flavour roast the bones first.
