too much left over food was sitting in my fridge. We are working with a budget of $ 100 a week to feed a family of four. A few weeks ago we ate almost everything in the house so we could go in a Mediterranean-style diet. This transition was not going to be 100% change, but we were about to incorporate new foods into our daily diet.
The first week was a complete success, pasta and pizza are favorites for children. They even liked the spicy garlic and cumin hummus. I found that if a mixture of olive oil in foods children will eat anything. If you leave the olives whole and put them on a pizza or a salad are easy to pick them up from which is good I love olives.
Every time an experiment or try something new, you will learn things that might be unexpected. This is the case for us at $ 100 a week budget. Not only do we learn how to make a great inexpensive meal. We have learned to use almost every bit of food that comes into the home. Shop budgeting is not just about how much you spend is also about how much you eat. University of Arizona study tells us that we put about 14% of our diet. slow cooker is a savior when you're wondering what to do with the remains.
Right now when I look in my fridge I have too much extra food sitting there waiting to be consumed. We have learned to make amazing cheese and ½ pound is still in the fridge, Hummus sitting in containers next to a bunch of left over meatballs. BBQ chicken waiting to be eaten just like other parts of a couple of days.
I have too much extra food sitting in my fridge. How is that possible given that we are in such a limited budget and rarely use coupons. One of the rules for budgeting does not eat everything you cook in one meal. If we buy a chicken every one of us has a piece and make a great soup or salad accompany the meat. other primary food, which in this case, the chicken will be used in a future installment. This led to a variety of vegetables and meat that will need to be consumed over the next few days so you do not have to be thrown out. This will equal the savings in my budget of not having to buy more food.
