#64 is true not just because you save on fuel, but also the less trips thru the store the less likely all those “extras” will be calling to you to buy them. I’ve learned that was my big weakness when I switched from bi-weekly to weekly paychecks. Double the trips to the grocery store were increasing my spending big time till I caught on to my trend. Thank you for all the great tips!

This list is very interesting. Never know that about Ramen. It is consumed on a regular basis here in Jamaica. Children love them and so it is very interesting to know about the nutrition benefits. #101 says it all good article.

The best part about the list is that you were able to keep it interesting and informative all the way to the end. Great Job with it all. My fav. suggestions are #45, which i did and worked out great, and #75. I know for a fact from when I worked in retail, that #75 is true.

Once again Great Job with the list. I’m passing it on to some of my friends.

Thanks so much for the link to my yogurt making website. I’ve seen lots of your visitors come on over and check it out. Hopefully they are all becoming homemade yogurt makers themselves.

Great ideas! However, I won’t recommend Ramens… Although they are cheap, they are super high in sodium, preservatives and all the stuff contributes to bad health, and astronomical medical bill later on… much much expensive!

Try use more veggies in the dishes, and use meat as condiment. It’d make the dishes healthier as well as cheaper. That’s how Japanese eats and deal with super expensive meat (and stay thin!)

Learn to cook with what you already have on hand, not from the exact recipe. Prep in bulk, save in easy to use form (in fridge or freezer) and use it through out the week. (ex. leeks!)

Make sure to store (esp when freezing) in easy to use portions. Also label everything with contents and dates.
