It has saved us so much money on our grocery bill. For what used to be 250 every time I went to the grocery store (and then there was so much waste) I spend now an average of 90-150, depending on the meals! It's great .-= Randa @ The Bewitchin' Kitchen´s last blog ..<a href="http://bewitchinkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/01/weight-loss-wednesday_27.html" rel="nofollow">Weight Loss Wednesday</a> =-.

I end up going and buying what I need for a whole meal and making 4 to 6 portions of it. Then I freeze single portions of what's left. That way I get good value for money and I don't have to cook as much on other days (usually heated up with a staple is enough for me). <abbr><em>Andy @ Retire at 40´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.retire-at-40.com/blog/personal-finance-is-not-a-destination-its-a-journey.html" rel="nofollow">Personal Finance is Not a Destination, it's a Journey</a></abbr></em> I menu plan but not in a paper and pen way.

Like Simple Mom, I use the farmers markets in lieu of growing fresh veggies myself. I also think for those of us with little ones making your own baby food can really help. Our kids are fine eating generic food, with the exception of cereal. Finally we realized we could just slip the bags from generic cereal into the name brand boxes, and we haven't heard a word of complaint sense.

We've gotten LOADS of veggies from it this year...corn, beans, okra, cucumber, tomatoes, etc. We found what grew well in our area by calling our local ag extension office and the things they told us would be easy for our area have really done well this year! We're getting ready to do our fall garden in a month or so - I can hardly wait!
