[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.  We don't regularly buy take-out, even when we're not on this strict budget, so I don't think we'll need to necessarily build that in.  I agree on the $20 for paper goods- We usually buy the big packs (8 rolls of PT and 12 rolls of TP- usually $7 each on sale)- but then there's also dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent- another $3-4 each (again, the cheap stuff)- but then again that's not necessarily every 2 weeks.
I am LOVING that crock pot website.  We do have a CP that we don't use enough.  Although it's just 2 of us, I would love to have a bunch of meals in the freezer ready to go.

Questions-- 
Can you freeze tofu? If I cube it and put it in a sauce, then when we want to eat it, we'll thaw out and then pour it all into the frying pan? (which is what we do now, minus the freezing step)
Do you guys actually keep the crock pot on when you go to work?  I am starting a new job in the next few weeks where I'll be leaving at 9am and not getting home until 7pm.  We have the "switch to warm" programmable one- so we could do low 8 hours, then switch to warm, but even that's a LONG time.  And I always feel our crock pot runs a little too hot/cooks too quick,.
Although, DH only works 3 days/week so I could limit it to the other days since he'll be home.
Oh yes, stop and shop has those scanners too.[/quote]

You can freeze tofu. In fact, that is one way to prepare it before cooking.  it will change the texture a bit.[/quote]
