I can buy those chicken sausage things from Trader Joe's and that's enough protein to last me like 7 days. It goes with pasta and then you can just steam some veggies. Oh, eating rice is also cheap; always buy rice at Asian grocery stores like 20 lbs at a time. It will last you a year and is cheaper than buying expensive rice at American stores like Ralph's. Ethnic stores like Asian grocers also tend to have cheaper meat like chicken tenders. You just have know where to shop. Never shop somewhere like Ralphs; even Trader Joe's is cheaper when it comes to cheese, especially brie. The cheapest things to eat when you want to save money is eggs and pasta.

But actually, we only seem to be spending $125 per week. So we are only spending $500 compared to <a href="http://www.moneyfunk.net/daily-grind/holy-moly/" rel="nofollow">$1200</a> per week (crazy amount, huh?)! $150 every week.

Now what's in your fridge? Let's see what we can make up! Are freezer is still bare, too. I have a few items, but no where as much as we usually do. But, our family doesn't seem to be deprived. So that is a good thing! Oh ya, btw... I had a bunch of left over veggies (mushroom, tomato, broccoli)...added some pearl barely, white beans, italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and 4 cups chicken broth... Made an awesome soup. My non veggie DH even had some. Oh ya, and topped it with just a minute amount of cheddar cheese. Superb! 2 lbs ground beef in your freezer. Now what’s in your fridge? Let’s see what we can make up!

How is your spend less challenge going? I am going to have to catch up. Let me tell you, the lentil tacos are a great, great substitution for "meat" tacos. I think it is the taco seasoning. They taste just like the real thing. Let me know how you like them if you try it out. Hi, RTC. How is your spend less challenge going? I am going to have to catch up.
