The 10 Golden Rules To Student Food Budgeting
The 10 golden rules that must be followed for student food budgeting will keep you from overspending, buying junk, and keeping your young one healthy. The number one rule is to buy fresh. There are whole industries that have been developed to convince us that we need things that we actually don’t.

Dominic’s $7 Family Meals: Bangers and Mash and Gingerbread
For my October recipes I have chosen Bangers and mash and Gingerbread. I find both are cheap and very easy to prepare. They are ideal for a small family or large family. My sausages always have to be the thick ones.
I am sorry but there just is no comparison. Pork or beef sausages are fine; if you buy them in bulk they will be cheaper. Potatoes are not too expensive but they are far better than packet mash.

Since groceries take a big share out of the monthly budget, I have listed here the seven ways to cut down your food bill by at least 25% without using even one coupon.
1. Shop the grocery circulars
Are you aware that everything on the front page is half off? It is important that you stock up some items because you probably won’t see prices as low for two or three months. Get the newspaper and look for the Food section as it contains the circulars.

Frugal Mom’s Guide To Once A Month Cooking
In today’s fast and furious world, there is hardly time to stop and chill out, and one of the big time-consuming chores of the day is the evening dinner preparation. We’ve all been there, you’ve been working all day, or maybe running the kids about, trying to organize this and that; and then it comes to meal time and the last thing you really feel like doing is slaving over the cooker.

My Freezer – A Leftover Haven
At home I only have a small freezer because I don’t need a large one and have a bigger fridge than freezer. It is important that we do not live off frozen food as it is so bad for you and you don’t get the nutrients that you need.
I appreciate that we are all very busy and we want food in a rush (I too work long hours, but still make sure I have time to cook fresh food in the kitchen with my son). The most important part is to organise your time effectively so that you can cook lovely food without worrying about the time it takes.
