[quote=Anonymous]We are UMC, Asian immigrants and are still eating the way we always ate.  However, for cultural and health reasons  - our food bills continues to be  very manageable.

1) Eating less at restaurants.   
2) Shopping at Costco, WF, Wegmans and the Indian and Asian stores. 
3) Cooking from scratch for most things
4) Buying meat in bulk.  
5) Meals with lots of beans, lentils, and whole grains like - Amaranth, quinoa, millets.
6) Zero junk food - no packaged snacks like chips, cookies, soda
7) No booze.  No juice. 
8) Learning to cook veggies that are "exotic" to us from other cultures. 
9) Lots of veggies incorporated in food - salads (all from scratch, never buy kits), soups, stirfried to eat alone and added into fried rice. 
10) Setting our own yogurt at home.  Very inexpensive.  Making our own ghee and paneer. 
11) Making our own bread, tortillas, rotis 
12) Sprouting seeds and beans to use like veggies. 
13) Making cold pressed green juice every day to supplement our nutrition. 
14) Buying organic eggs, dairy, meat, fruits. 
15) Not buying too many bakery items, chocolates, cheese etc.  All of these are treats. [/quote]
