[quote=Anonymous]If you freeze tofu, it thaws with a very different texture-spongy and tougher.  I use frozen tofu in certain recipes, but definitely test a little bit out first to see if you like it.

I think you'll also have to test out the crock pot.  I have a non-fancy one and find that if I turn it on before work and work the whole day, it overcooks the food, but having it on warm for a few hours may solve that problem for you.

I think your budget is doable (the only big thing I see missing is fruit), but having done a super low food budget, I'll say that it is really hard to have the self-control to maintain it, particularly if you really like food.

One good cheap snack I like is home popped popcorn.  Buy the big generic bad of kernels.  Put a 1/4 in a paper bag in the micro for 2.5 minutes, and you have popcorn.

The only issue I see with the way you want to see things up, is that if you buy the same stuff every week, you aren't stocking up when things are on sale.  If our favorite cereal is on sale, I'll buy 10 boxes and save a good amount of money (of course you need to be able to ration, otherwise you aren't saving any money).[/quote]
