[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 97892, member: 1722"] First, cook from scratch whenever possible, eat your leftovers or create another meal. One turkey will easily serve my family four meals as long as I pack and freeze the left overs. Plus, it saves time when preparing meals. Second, use what you need only. If the recipe calls for 1/4 cup of mozzarella, don't use 1/3 cup. That just runs up your cost for the meal. Third, buy only what you need. Prepare a menu for the week and build your shopping list from it. Don't buy 1/2 lb of ham at the deli when you really only need 10 slices. Also, buy your meat in the club packs and freeze. I'll look through all the packages to find the cheapest package because I'm really not going to notice if my pork chop or sausage link is one tenth smaller than in the more expensive package.
