Visit linkThe about page introduces the blogger and describes how the household lives on a fixed grocery budget, with recipes built from scratch.
Visit linkThe recipes are built from scratch to keep grocery bills low, from a creamy tomato soup and sloppy joes to a beef taco skillet and a cheesy ham, potato and green bean casserole. The money posts come out of the same routine: eating at home instead of eating out, shopping for groceries frugally, and making cooking at home easier. Preserving runs through the recipe index too, with canned applesauce, frozen rhubarb, homemade tomato juice and sweet dill pickles. Gift guides for dog lovers and for men and women, all at low price points, extend the thrift into holidays.
