I was also going to see if I actually buy enough to justify the hassle. I've sorta cut back on the produce I buy - found I was eating too much fruit to keep it from going bad so I try to stick with whatever is on sale (luckily with summer a lot of fruit was on sale some months the pickings are pretty slim though!) I did enjoy having already cooked chicken breast this week- it's made 2 workdays a lot easier to handle along with eggs and cartoned egg whites. i"m going to make more of an effort to cook from scratch so I can at least cut back on the dining out budget - not too happy having so much $ go to food each month!<br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-42949750841139919242014-09-04T10:23:05.730-04:002014-09-04T10:23:05.730-04:00Yes they do eat a lot!

How about making your own yogurt? It's super easy and will pay for itself quickly if you eat a lot of it.

I think so too at times but then I end up spending it - it includes household supplies too and I buy greek yogurt and lots of produce but still could probably start tweaking it some. working shift makes planning meals kinda hard- I get callout sometimes unexpected and am tired a lot and just dont' feel up to a lot of cooking but trying to shift away from the frozen meals and canned soups and stuff. <br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-37637076307436516342014-09-03T16:04:13.875-04:002014-09-03T16:04:13.875-04:00Amazing job at Rite Aid.
