[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We eat a veggie/some fish diet and got our food costs down to about $500 a month, by:

1) getting take-out only once a month 
2) getting coffee out one day a week only
3) Doing 90% of shopping at Lidl
4) All lunches are leftovers 
5) lunch is largest meal of day six days a week, dinner is usually omelets, open faced sandwiches, salads 
6) Sending school lunch 
7) Avoiding packaged food 
8) Cutting snacks except a formal 4:00 snack like homemade baked goods
9) Cooking in bulk, freezing half 
10) meal-planning

How are you doing leftovers for lunch, when lunch is the largest meal of the day?[/quote]

So, for example this week:

Sunday, made a large squash risotto - served it for dinner, and then everyone has it for lunch Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday while working from home, made a spinach lasagna for Wed-Tuesday lunches. Tuesday is a late night for kid's activities, so we didn't have it for dinner - we have panini and salad.  Thursday I made focaccia and veggie soup during the day, and everyone had salad, focaccia, and omelets for dinner, and then for Friday lunch for the kids, I added pastina and sent it to school with a slice of focaccia, fruit, a wedge of cheese.

This is PP, and sounds delicious. I'd love eating at your house.[/quote]
