On Saving Money with dinner - From Leanne Ely

Here is the paraphrased copy of an email I received from Leanne Ely today on how to save money on weekly dinners... very useful I must admit!


1. Eat vegetarian one night a week. Kids Love Rice and Beans!
2. Eat breakfast one night a week for dinner. Light candles and serve juice in wine glasses for fun
3.Eats greens and beans one night a week
4.Eat homemade soup one night a week
5.Cook with your crock pot one night a week which allows you to use a more inexpensive cut of meat
6.Only buy meat/produce on sale and/or marked down
7. Eat from your freezer one night a week. You would be surprised how many meals you can make.
8.Buy dried beans and make your own instead of buying canned. The directions are right on the bag
9.Make your own broth from left overs. Chicken for instance, throw the body, onion carrots and celery into a pot and simmer for an hour
10.Pack up a quick dinner PB&Js with carrots stick etc for nights that you wont be home for dinner because you are out running around instead of wasting money on a drive-thru
