Slash Your Food Bill and Still Eat Well

        

Do you need to slash your food bill? I've been there, more than once. I've had to track every penny and experiment with cheap cuts of meat I didn't know how to cook and new vegetables I hadn't eaten before. So I started keeping notes on our favorites recipes. I also started writing articles on various money-saving tips and techniques. Some things you can learn here:

• How to save money grocery shopping
• Read here for some basic strategies for cooking on a budget
• Calculate the cost per serving
• Save money by packing lunches for school and work
• Learn about home food storage so you don't have food go to waste
• Learn how to cook dried beans
• Get some ideas on how to grill your vegetables for a simple healthy side dish
• Make your own meatballs and get creative about ways to serve them
• Grind your own meat and know what you're eating
