I’m really looking forward to your $$ breakdown. I spend WAY too much each month and really want to rein it in.

question for you about your almost too ripe produce: how ripe are we talking? and how often do you go to the store to pick that up? do you need to eat it within one or two days after buying the produce? how do you make sure it doens’t spoil before you get to it? i only have a family of 3 so i’m trying to figure out if this would work for me and my family. loved the post!

@Barb, Barb – nope, it doesn’t sound snooty. I will do my best to try and outline the actual $$ since honestly, I know this will be the biggest part of helping people in a tangeable way. It won’t happen every day, but I’ll try and spend a few posts really detailing the nitty gritty.

Thanks for your food ideas. I am looking forward to the nitty gritty of food budgeting. I hope this isn’t too nosy and snooty but I hope you share exact numbers, dollars and cents. I need to reduce my spending my about $300/month. I know this will be a gradual process but I could really use some practical tips and examples.

this post was AWESOME…exactly how you feed your crew on a given day…

but I, along with others it looks like, beg you to tell more about cooking ground beef in the crock pot. I know I could just experiment, but don’t want to screw up and waste. Please fill us in on this potentially HUGE time saver!

Mmmm, taco soup… We love that too! We’ve started freezing extra meat and chicken stock and things like that, and it’s amazing how handy it is! Guess what? I signed up to go to the Relevant conference & I’m so excited to get to finally meet you IRL now! Too much fun!
Blessings,
