I know, shocker, right? Making your own food can help you save money? Genius. Obviously you've never heard this one before. (Ha).
But seriously, I am always shocked by how many people waste money away on pre-made, pre-prepped, and pre-fiddled-with foods and then go on to complain about their grocery bills and insist they cannot feed themselves for that particular month.

I am always under my $180/month budget for food for two people based on what I use. How do I do it? I cook from scratch. I probably save anywhere from $20-$100/month by not buying pre-made or pre-prepped food. Of course, that depends on what I make and how lazy I am (I never said I was a saint -- I love me some take-out, too!).
Let's recap. Why do we want to cook our foods from scratch and avoid pre-made foods? Because once you taste your own fabulous cooking it is hard to go back to pre-made doodoo. Because the cost savings may not be astronomical but they are significant. Because let's be honest, I have no idea what half of the ingredients on the back of those packages are; Do you?
So stick around and keep an eye out for some tips, tricks, and recipes to help you save money and make some of your own deliciousness from scratch!
