[quote=Anonymous]Quesadillas. When I don’t feel like cooking or cleaning up, I cut some chicken breasts into fajita strips, toss with some garlic power, onion powder and salt and air fry 12 min at 400. I make a big stack of quesadillas and steam broccoli crowns with garlic and lemon. I put it on the table with some salsa. Maybe I warm up a can of seasoned black beans. Store bought snacks are super expensive. If I needed to cut my grocery budget I would start there. Get the book “Buy the butter, make the bread” from the library. It breaks down the economics of making things from scratch. Some things are worth it and some are not. Making yeast bread is not for everyone, but cookies, bars, muffins and quick breads are super easy and freeze well. We grow our own basil and tomatoes and save a ton of money not buying those things, but growing cilantro is not cost effective for us. Different things may make sense for you. [/quote]
