[quote=Anonymous]I spend very little on food when my husband is away. The two key things - I don't eat much meat, and when I do it's chicken thighs or drumsticks, so no expensive cuts, and I buy them in bulk and freeze. I do buy frozen shrimp and salmon, but I use them in salads, so it's not much per meal. The other thing, I don't buy any packaged food besides ice cream - no cereal, no appetizers that you pop in the oven, no crackers, no salad dressings (I use oil + balsamic vinegar), no spreads, etc. Those things cost a lot. I also don't buy too much of "fancy" produce - berries, asparagus, etc are not a staple for me. I often roast or grill vegetables, but it's bell peppers, zucchini, eggplants, carrots, cauliflower, etc. plus mushrooms. My only spending vices food wise are cheeses and coffee beans. I haven't figured out how to bring those costs down without sacrificing the quality.[/quote]
