Frugal Foodie-Segment 1

Soooo in these tough economic times, everyone is looking for ways to save money.  I poured over my budget recently, and realized that there are only two places where I can realistically cut from my budget--food and gas.  As far as the gas thing goes, my plan is to rely on public transportation more.  Also, when the weather gets nicer, I'll start riding my bike.

In the meantime, I plan to challenge myself to spend only $25 a week on groceries.  Currently I'm spending about $60 a week.  We'll see how this goes.  I plan to blog on this experience in a segment I'm calling "Frugal Foodie."  I love to eat, so even though I'm doing it on the cheap, best believe the food will taste good.  I'll post a new recipe every Monday.
