[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 683629, member: 1233"] She must learn to shop at Aldi's. They have great stuff esp their house brands. If you don't like an item, they will give you your $ back AND another item! We have found very few items we don't like, esp the produce and chips are great. My kids and hubby like t heir chips better than the big brands! I did a blind taste test with them and each one liked Aldi's brand better than the big brand! Learning to cook will save her a TON. So will a bunch of small containers to freeze her food in. I go to Sam's and spend $30 or so on a box of those clear tubs that you see in delis for the salads. I get 200 - 250 containers (8 oz or 16 oz) and it is so much cheaper than the ones like Rubbermaid, and the lids are all the same so no hassle. If you bought the box and sold her a sleeve of container and lids, you would each have them and she could divide her food into portions to heat ad eat in her microwave. You would also be able to do this easier. There are cookbooks for one out there that she can use. You can also make a book with your recipes for her.. Write the recipe out as you would cook it and then cut down the portions and write it out with the smaller amounts on the next page It would be a lovely gift for hr and help her to figure out what t do and how to do it. She might also find coupons useful.. Once she sees that she can save $ with them, it could be something she enjoys. [/QUOTE]
