[quote=Anonymous]You don’t need multiple salsas. You don’t need $7-9 in guacamole, when Wholly brand or a few avocados will do. Rice is a staple bought in 5-12lb bags. Beans are purchase when they are on sale for $.30-.50 per can. Chicken and steak should be bought in Value packs of 3-6lbs and you should have made plenty to have leftovers for burritos, salads, etc. another day. If you bought the meat at Whole Foods, that probably cost you 2x of a value pack at Harris Teeter or Giant. Cooking at home is cheap when you - 1. Buy staples in bulk. 2. Cook with 1-3 common flavor profiles so you already have spices and vinegars / oils on hand. Not spices you buy for 1 recipe and then never use again. 3. You meal plan an integrated menu for the week that shares ingredients and preparation steps. [/quote]
