Re: eating cheap
I realise there is a bit of effort in it, but one of the better ways to cut the tucker bill is to have a big veg garden, plus grow a few fruit trees.<br />Then just buy the carbohydrates like noodles, rice, bread etc, and cheap cuts of meat in small amounts.<br />Learnt to do it years back, and although we don't need to economise now, can cut our grocery bill to 1/3rd and live really well.<br />The 10yr old runs the garden now, and over last 2 weeks have used his surplus tomatos to make 1 years supply of:<br /> tomato suace (better than shop stuff),<br /> tomato relish<br /> green tomato pickle.<br />Freezer is full of corn, beans, peas mango etc.<br />As i said, a bit of work tho. Substitute skill for effort and persistance and it will work out fine.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
