You betcha. I’ve gotten totally out of the habit of buying a lot of food. One area that you CAN control in your budget is what you spend on food. It’s the first and easiest place to cut for lots of folks. I’m well stocked for quite some time, so I’ve been making a lot of meals from the freezer and the pantry.

We love beans and rice...any Hispanic dishes are yummy. But, it’s gotta have some cheese on it, too. Luckily, a little shredded cheese goes a long way. :)

Another idea: Learn to grow a few veggies for yourself, or even sprouts or fresh herbs on the kitchen counter. Many are very easy to grow.

YUmmie! Now earting pulled pork sandwiches. Curley’s pulled pork which I bought yesterday along with the bread I also purchased yesterday. And this morning I ate some Cheerios which I also bought in the same shopping trip. Total out of pocket cost for everything AFTER coupons-—65 cents.
