I always thought, and still do think, those ladies were and are rock stars. Check out Mindy's (aka Mindy likes to coupon) blog on the left under blog favorites, she's "the $50 Stockpile". Great ideas for the stockpile items for the week. She is a writer, but not of cookbooks, though she should write a cookbook. She is my internet friend, although we've never actually met in person.budget menu ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769983416222784258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548333260257754137.post-71071024718032928062010-02-24T08:39:29.316-08:002010-02-24T08:39:29.316-08:00awesome.

Makes it easier for those who aren't into cooking and provides enough variety that the family won't insist on take out.<br /><br />I think the food supply is important in these uncertain times when job loss or other financial circumstance could force a family to rely on their own stores. Even if a family applies for Food Stamps or other aid, paperwork takes time. And even without great tragedy, a broken leg could make it difficult to go grocery shopping. So much easier to cook from the pantry and only have the DH pickup milk, rather than trust him with a fistful of coupons and one of my highly annotated lists. (Not that our DHs aren't wonderful people, but, y'know, I think the bargain-hunting gene is mostly X-chromosome.<br /><br />Can my menu Number 1 be Ramen-Tuna Casserole?Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265716495876669445noreply@blogger.com
