I was watching Good Morning America (to see the video click here and it is off to the right) this morning and was amazed! Because of rising grocery prices they had a story on a professional nutritional teacher and how she keeps her weekly grocery budget under $60 while still nutritional and tastey by:
1) shopping in her pantry of bulk items (sound like food storage to anyone else? 🙂 so she’s living off of last year’s prices. She also sets aside $5 a week to replenish her supply.
2) cooking from scratch (also food storage) including making her own chicken broth from chicken bones (also another post)
3) she did things like look at her recipes to see common ingredients so she knew what she could buy
Yeah! It’s so exciting. I’ll post some more ideas on how to cook from scratch easily (has anyone heard of “Make a Mix”? If not, you soon will. )
Anyway, stay tuned I’ve got a couple of good recipe/food ideas sitting on my camera ready for posting.
