Donna,

You would be right at home in my kitchen. I cook the same way you do.

I also buy my spices and herbs in bulk or fresh and air dry. My

grocery bill is far less than most. When I see grocery carts laden

with pre-packaged chemical added food and see how much it costs I am s

hocked. It is a simple matter of education. Tea bags are another

expensive waste of money. I buy bulk rose hips, mints, chamomile,

green tea,lavender, etc. and it lasts for months for *pennies*. I

save everything. Orange and lemon peals for tea and sauces. Dried and

kept in glass bottles . This lifestyle is a challenge for me and I

love doing it. I learn something new every day. Life is a hoot.

Smiles and hugs coming your way.

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.
