Sometimes, it is just the little things. It’s just a mindset to economize on food without compromising on the quality or taste of your food.
Little things like making your own breadcrumbs. Why throw the heels of the bread away and then pay two dollars a pound for breadcrumbs. That two dollars a pound can be hamburger instead.
When I make homemade chicken nuggets, I cut squares of chicken breast into bite sized pieces, Dip them in melted butter and then in a mixture of equal parts breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and chopped nuts. Less carbs, more protein.
Breadcrumbs are easy to put in a food processor and whirl into crumbs. Put your sheet pan or cookie sheet pan with sides and put in an oven that has just been used and is still hot.
Another simple way to stretch your food dollar is to make your own chicken stock. It is lower in sodium and lower in fat. And, virtually free instead of 2.44. It tales your garbage and less than ten minutes. It can cook while you sleep.
The third thing that saves tons of money is artisan bread, It takes about ten minutes if your hands on time and a loaf of artisan bread costs about 28 cents. I saw it for 3.99 at Alberways, about 2.50 at Winco. Many u tubes out there. Big family Homestead is a good one, but there are many some call it peasant bread. You can make it on a Dutch oven or on a pizza stone or sheet pan,
Three things that save about 90 percent and take minutes to do.
What a concept !
