I think there's a crockpot one, where you make one main dish, then turn it into like 5 different meals for the week! Also, you could consider taking a regular recipe and cutting it in 1/2. It would be some initial work, but, you'd only ever have to do it (if you wrote it down) once for each menu!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302858346803229926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744538350773252750.post-41848784781355703952011-07-22T15:43:09.760-05:002011-07-22T15:43:09.760-05:00those are really awesome.

AMAZING!<br /><br />I do a lot of store brand buying too - really, most things are practically identical! I'm glad to know I'm not the only grocery cart Nazi! Poor Tristan will just hand me things and say "you do it" haha!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302858346803229926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744538350773252750.post-65818016461157427042011-07-22T14:06:52.986-05:002011-07-22T14:06:52.986-05:00Finally commenting...!

Too many times chemicals have been w/ meat, etc.<br /><br />I've always been really terrible meal planning. When I first moved in w/ my BF I subscribed to http://e-mealz.com/ because it allowed me to try new things & made a really easy list to follow. (If you want? to see an example, I have some saved in google docs)<br /><br />I eventually got behind, because we'd go out... or forget to go shopping...etc. So, I canceled my account.<br /><br />I've very big into budgeting/keeping costs low, I almost always buy store brand. I'm just not picky & believe it's close to the same thing. There's somethings I don't skimp on... like trash bags.<br /><br />Three months ago BF & I started dieting together, which meals were pretty much chicken/green veg -day in & day out. That was by far the easiest thing. <br /><br />I'm getting those rubbermaid bins STAT!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886464175891501339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744538350773252750.post-80464164541228056312011-07-20T23:23:10.835-05:002011-07-20T23:23:10.835-05:00Menu planning......I SHOULD plan my menus, but I a...Menu planning......I SHOULD plan my menus, but I almost never do. It's tough cooking for one, especially when I'm not a fan of certain kinds of leftovers or certain frozen foods. I need to find some way to make it work, though because I waste FAR too much money eating out and on quick foods.Kristinahttp://www.operationfinishline.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
