Gah! I just watched a cooking segment on a TV show where the celebrity chef was all excited to share some low cost recipes. "After all!" said the incredibly chipper host "we can all use a little help with our purse strings!" The chef then went on to explain that we don't have to give up fancy tastes just because we are trying to save money. He demonstrated a few recipes, and then, at the very end, they asked him to estimate how much each meal cost. The least expesive was $16! The priciest option? More than $25!
I'm sorry, but that is not "cheap eats" in my book. If you spent even $16 on dinner (for two) every night your monthy grocery bill just for dinner food would be nearly $500! And that's for eating in! Sorry to be shouting so much, but can you believe this? Nobody needs to be spending that kind of money, and that is especially true for a person trying to be thrifty. Cooking from scratch and using sesnible ingredients are all that is required to be economical, healthy, and TASTY! More on this later.
