I have tried different areas. I still have to do more testing. When I put it before the post I get better results but I feel like it hurts the readers experience so I have left it on the bottom for now. Let me know how your results go.

Sprouting your own seeds to eat is healthy and saves on high priced health food. I add them to my green smoothies for a drinkable meal that I can jar up and take along with me.

By the way Dean are you testing out ’share it’ plugins? I see you have three different ones at the bottom of this post. So far which is working the best for you. Have you tried them in different areas too — like before the post article?

I have used the menu idea for years. My family of four is living proof for all the benefits listed. I have also found that if I double the recipe or some recipes make more than my family will eat in one meal, I freeze the extra. Then down the road, we have a quick healthy meal ready for us!

I have been procrastinating doing this, but know that I should because I believe that it is a time tested and proven fact that this will help people save money. Recently, when I have gone out to eat, I thoroughly enjoy the food, but when I calculate how much the food actually cost the restaurant to buy and how much they are actually charging me, I realize that I could have made it at home and spent much less money and had left overs…(if I would only take the time to make good food, I would not want to eat out as much…and I love to eat out…but if I really listened to you and picked good meals for menus, I would actually look forward to eating at home instead of asking my husband to take me out…and use his hard earned money…just so that I can throw it out the back door quicker than he can bring it in…okay, I will get off of my soap box…) Thank you Mr. Cheap Stuff for reinspiring me as well.

This sounds good, but I couldn’t tell you what I’m eating for dinner tonight, let alone dinner on Sunday!

I will add one more tip to this way of cooking. Check out what is on sale before you make your meal list. Build your recipes around what’s on sale that week. It’s a great way to try new cuts of meat and learn new cooking techniques.

I had gotten out of the habit of doing weekly meal planning–but this article has reinspired me! Thanks!

I enjoy using the menu mailers from http://www.savingdinner.com It’s only like $30 for a year subscription, and I get a menu, recipes, and grocery list e-mailed to me each week. The recipes include suggested side dishes too. And all the meals have been winners. It feels like we are eating out every night the food is SOOO good.
