Instead of making plain, ol' cheap Ramen Noodle
Soup... I take the Spicy Chicken Soup... and, just
when the noodles are almost cooked all the way, and
there is only a little bit of water left, I drop in a
tsp of peanut butter (chunky is good!) and a dash of
cayenne pepper. Makes the soup more like a Thai
dish... more filling... substantial... tasty... and
CHEAP! - Jill Hood, Crafts
Crock Pot
Your Crock-Pot is your best friend. It really can
make fabulous meals that require few ingredients
which means it's less you'll spend on groceries.
You'll also save yourself time too, since you can
make all in one dishes in a very short amount of
time! - Shelly Howard, owner Munchkin

Organic Farms
Find an organic farm nearby and ask if they provide a
weekly "harvest basket". One of our local farms
provides a weekly harvest basket for $10 which
includes enough fresh fruits and vegetables to feed
our family for a week! The produce is fresh and
because it's organic, it lasts and lasts much longer
than store-bought produce. I also find it so much
easier to include fresh veggies in our meals when I
don't have to shop for them separately! -- Ellen, slocountymoms.com
