Here are a few quick tips until we really get started;
1. Leftovers are a big deal. invest in tupperware! (or similar containers)
2. Always have your spice rack stocked and ready with your favorite flavors. Some of mine are, basil, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and curry. you usually cant go wrong with a good Italian blend! Even though fresh herbs are best, you can get the same flavor with freeze dried or frozen. Regular dried can last for YEARS, but lose their flavor after just a few.
3. Pasta may be cheap but it doesnt have to be boring! stock up and save in a dry air tight container. Ikea has good glass jars that I like to use, and they are pretty cheap too!
4. Every time you go to the store, pick up a few extra non perishable food items, boxed, bagged or canned. That way you can build up your food storage for when your month lasts longer than your money! Some good food storage items to have include but are not limited to, pasta sauce, canned soups in any variety but especially "cream of" soups because they are perfect for casseroles and for other great dishes. dont forget about canned meats and veggies, too! applesauce is a great one, especially if you have kids.
5. Mac 'n Cheese!!!
