Friday recipe : hummus

One of the ways to save a lot of money is to make your own things that are more expensive in the store ready made. One of hose things is hummus,  it’s jea,thy and most of the time here is around three dollars

1 can -15.5 Oz garbanzo Beans
2 tsp garlic, chopped
Dash salt and pepper
1 slice cooked red pepper , chopped
Red pepper flakes to taste.
2 T lemon juice
1 T olive oil.


 Mix all ingredients in food processer or blender.
Store in air tight container in refrigerator.

Notes : garbanzo beans can be inexoemsove when  you find a bean sale. Lemon juice is cheapest on bottles.   The rest of the ingredients are pretty much staples.  


On another note, I have been watching a lot of dollar store dinners on the Internet.   While I realize there are towns where the dollR store amd maybe one other store is all the stores that are available and it might be a necessity for some people until they can get to a bigger town, dollar store dinners are best for emergency meals.   You can do better by stocking a little at a time.  When something is super cheap. Spend the same amount you would spend if you had to pay full price.   The next time, you won’t have to buy that item, so you work on so,etching else that is a stock item.   You will eT better and spend less.  

Tomorrow is concept day,    Just a teaser.....a weeks worth of chicken dinners for FREE!   Like any statement like that, there is a twist....stay tuned.
