This is my first post on this blog so I want to give a little background. I got tired of spending $800-$1,000 a month on food for a family of 3. We eat pretty healthy and bought into the old adage that it cost more to eat healthy, and I started to use that as an excuse for why the budget was so high. So I set out a few months ago to start making dinner cost as little as posible. The best part is I only spent $425 last month for ALL of my families groceries.
My 7 secrets so far:
- Planning food for 2 weeks and then doing all the shopping in one day. (Actually I shop on the 5 and the 22nd, those are the paydays).
- Shopping at Winco.
- Shop the ads for all the grocery stores.
- Cooking from scratch.
- Buying food from the bulk bins instead of pre-packaged.
- Making enough food for lunch the next day...and then eating it for lunch.
- Make Delicious food
So this blog will be about the recipes that make it possible to eat good, healthy and cheap food.
