If you are looking to save money on food, and you aren't much of a cook, here's a tip for you, and it doesn't matter if you are single or you have a family of four. The best thing to get is a slow cooker, head down to your local drug store or big box variety store and purchase one.
These are tough times, and buying inexpensive food to put in your slow cooker will go a long way, take for example a 5 lb. box of chicken parts sold frozen are usually on the inexpensive side. You can make a slow cooked chicken meal that can be eaten at least 2 or more times, just freeze any leftovers. Use that slow cooker again the next day, purchase some inexpensive cuts of beef, like the chuck section, and slow cook that. Use different seasonings, buy some cookbooks and get ideas on how to cook some awesome meals. Buying bigger actually can save you money on food. Instead of purchasing 1 lb. of ground beef for a few dollars, it may be cheaper to buy 4 lbs. for less.
You might find inexpensive frozen cod steaks by the half dozen, well put that in the oven and bake it with some seasonings, freeze any steak you don't eat. Times are tough, save your money by shopping bigger and making your foods last. Same with vegetables, look for deals either fresh or frozen, buy them in bulk, usually it is cheaper, but valuable.
On kids, if you can feed your children 3 meals a day, consider this an ultimate blessing, don't take this for granted, where millions of children in the U.S. are starving every day, and no one wants to think of their own child starving for a second. Reality is, we are depending on our jobs, and once we get hours cut, it hurts our food budget. So learn to stretch out your food supply by cooking in bulk.
Slow cookers are the best, purchase cuts of tougher meats, that's not too expensive and utilize that. Once the meats are cooked, it gets softer from the slow cooking process, and you'll have a very savory dish the whole family will love to eat. Stretch out your meals in these tough times, and it doesn't hurt to say a prayer before you eat, it can't hurt, who knows maybe a miracle may happen. And remember...the people you see on the streets could be us one day, never take your blessed life for granted.
