[quote=Anonymous]Lots of great ideas. I would just add a few

1) make stock. It's really simple if you have a crockpot. It's a great way to add the flavor of meat to a dish without the expense.

2) Sweet potatoes, chickpeas, eggs, bananas in addition to the previous suggestions of broc and cabb pack a lot of nutrition/$. I tend to think more about the nutritional value of food for the money.

3) Meal planning in general or making sure there is no waste.

4) Add your favorite flavors to a basic dish. I love an aged soy sauce that is pricier than the average soy. But I love it and I need only a small amount to make eggs/broc/rice taste a bit more special. Sometimes something can seem too pricey, but it really offers a way to enjoy meals that can feel a bit plain or utilitarian. If you love avocado, maybe it's fewer pieces in the salad but you don't have to cut it out.

5) Stews. Maybe this one echoes the recommendation to use meat more as a component of a meal than as a main. There are so many cheaper cuts that are flavorful but need some extra cooking time.

6) You might try pre-ordering from local farms to be picked up at a farmer's market. Sometimes, they may have some better pricing/quality than ordering/shipping.[/quote]
