I agree with this lady entirely.

It not only saves you money, it can save you pounds as well.

Last fall we started making home made soups and freezing them in individual serving sizes for me to take to work as lunches.
Chili, beef vegetable soup, and chicken noodle soup.
Now keep in mind, a burger, chips, and a drink costs on the order of $6 to $7 dollars at the cafeteria.

Since starting to bring these soups, and saltine crakcers, for my lunch and drinking water with them I've lost a total of 25 lbs.

It costs about $13 to make a pot of soup that creates about 10 to 12 individual servings.
5 lunches at the cafeteria = $30 X 2 weeks = $60.
One pot of soup = $13 = good for 2 weeks.

$60 - $13 = a savings of $47 every two weeks>
$94 a month X 9 months = $846 in my pocket. Let's even take out $47 for crackers. $800 in my pocket in 9 months.

Save money, lose weight, and tastes better.
How can you lose?

Holy cow, what are you putting in your soup?
I save and freeze the bones/skin etc from split chicken breasts after deboning and using the meat for another dish. I then use them to make chicken noodle soup or avgolemono (Greek chicken & rice) soup. In a big stock pot I put water, the frozen bones/trimmings, a couple teaspoons of broth powder, stalk of celery and some carrots. Boil, strain, pick bones for meat, slice up carrots (and some of the celery if desired), return those to pot with strained liquid. Bring back to boil and add sufficient vermicelli or capellini, broken into little pieces, lower heat and simmer until noodles are done.
