We eat at home, I make most of our meals rather than eating pre-prepared meals, I use coupons and buy store brands...and it still seems like we spend an awful lot on food.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036334286142271626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-38704006160255813602010-07-07T13:03:28.722-07:002010-07-07T13:03:28.722-07:00I like to find recipes that use cheap ingredients ...I like to find recipes that use cheap ingredients we keep around, like vinegar and spices, rather than the fancy things. And I search for on sale and coupons, etc. Anyways, I have a delicious recipe for "boubon" chicken that I only had to buy rice and chicken because the rest of it we keep stocked. (This is what I do at the end of the month when our budget is running out.)<br /><br />A thought: My mom would pay cash for groceries so she'd know exactly what she was spending and how much she has left. I do something similar, I only use my debit card for groceries and keep the budget amount in there (plus a buffer that I'm not allowed to dip into).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718507085706474315noreply@blogger.com
