2009 dinners on the cheap

I ran on to a woman's day from 2009 "Feed your family for 99. A week.
They use the same concepts that we talked about earlier.
Pork roast Sunday dinner becomes pork and beans for Tuesday --stair stepping
A tortilla with ham, potato and eggs
Chicken
Cube steaks w peppers
Pasta prima Vera --vegetarian fare
Chefs salad -- another stair step from the tortilla

Breakfasts are cereal and fruit and eggs a couple of times a week
Lunches are tuna sandwiches and salads again that are stair steps from dinners.

They have a list of foods, but not cost out. They do think that one pound of cube steaks feeds four people. In think that with proper shopping skills, you can still do it for 75 dollars a week. Not paying full price for food is the key. Many times it saves 70 percent.

Next, my take on extreme couponing.

Thanks for stopping by.
