[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who suggest less meat, I'm not so sure how that saves any money. We eat primarily vegetarian. Unless we are filling our bellies with cheap carbs, eating vegetarian is much more expensive. My grocery cart is full to the brim with vegetables amd fruits and I'm spending $200wk+ at the store. Sure, if our primary calories came from rice, potatoes, pasta, and bread...we'd save money, but we'd also be morbidly obese. I'm no sure how eating vegetarian is cheaper. When we do eat meat, it's a flavor enhancer/filler...not the main meal.[/quote] The key is buying what is in season, that's when there's a large supply and prices are lower. You should also buy produce local to your area (hint, banana's and oranges are not). We have pasta, rice and potatoes once a week, beans once or twice a week, salads, lentils, etc. A favorite of ours is butternut squash, so I pickup a bunch at the farmers market when in season, roast, and freeze.
