RE: My Healthy 50 Cent Dinner! Tomatillos and Beans.
I love how creative you got with this! I've been keeping my grocery bill down to about $600 a month to feed 3 adults. Granted, we almost never eat 3 meals a day but a big part of our savings it is frugal shopping and portion control.
I just recently made sausage stuffed mushrooms that were so delicious and made from left-over breakfast sausage, bread ends toasted in the oven then crushed into bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and seasoning. If I felt safe foraging for mushrooms, I might consider that a free meal! :D
After housing and transportation, food comes in third highest on the family expense chart. Finding ways to trim and reduce the expense seems like a never ending battle.
The sausage stuffed mushrooms sounds really good - and used up a bunch of leftover items! Big thumbs up from me.
I used to watch this show, forget the name, where they followed this couple that went around the country foraging and selling mushrooms to fancy restaurants for big bucks. I thought that sounded amazing.
OMG - I love shows like that. I fantasize about ginseng and truffles. LOL That would be like growing gold in my back yard.
