[quote=Anonymous]Well cooking from scratch is way cheaper than eating out. Sure you could buy pasta roni and Kraft Mac and cheese for cheaper than 3-gourmet cheese homemade stuff but did you really need those 3 cheeses or just choose them? I plan my meals using ingredients in separate meals, so I'll use ginger twice instead of once (btw: ginger freezes well. Just throw it in a freezer bag and peel the outside and grate it still frozen into what you need. I keep a knob of ginger for 6 months). I often cook double a meal and freeze half for later so a specialty ingredient does get uses up. If you buy meat in bulk you can split it and freeze it. Yes produce is expensive. We use a combo of fresh and frozen. Also--think of the health "cost" if you but prepared packages food. It has a ton of sodium and random ingredients like soy lecithin that you don't have when you cook from scratch. [/quote]
