Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I cook from scratch, buy all my beans, grains and rice from the bulk bins, now I cook all the tops from radishes , beets and celery too. Any extra ripe or leftover bananas, strawberries, zucchini or carrots go into a breads or a crockpot of soup. I make most of my veggie burgers and the loaves from the files to go with dinner and use for sandwiches the next day. I like to drink fruit flavored sun tea or lavender tea I make by the pitcher. I know my grocery bill is very low. When you start adding the frozen meals, chips, snacks and crackers it really adds up. I pretty much avoid those.

It's the weeks when I decide to buy crackers and cereal and soy burgers and premade soups that the bill is outrageous, um, also those organic strawberries really run up the tab : ) maybe being veg sounds difficult and exotic to some people....there is still the notion floating around that you have to make sure you get " complete' proteins, etc. just my take...melissa p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
