Love this post! Gives me some ways in which I can improve my food budget. One thing that has been really helpful for me is not only planning my meals out, but keeping them really SIMPLE. I find that many recipes are SO complex and require so many different ingredients. The more I've simplified my diet, the more affordable it is and easier to plan. For example, each meal always includes a source of protein/fat like meat, seafood, eggs, etc and some type of veggie/carb. I always use things like butter, sea salt, spices or the occasional sauce to mix it up but for the most part, it's really simple.
I had so much fun pulling these tips together! I realized there are such small/minor things that we can do that can have such a large impact on our spending. I would love to hear any advice on what we may have missed in this article, any extra tips you guys might add?
And best tip so far: "I have teamed up with friends to raise chickens and pigs for meat. It saves us a great deal of money and we know exactly what has gone into the animals."
Thank you for always being there! You are consistently always there when I need help. Could not be doing this without your help.

We have a steady stream of advice coming into the Senza chat this week with so many more ideas:
- Butcher Box and Misfits Market to avoid driving all over the place
- Buying frozen berries and veggies
- Only buy what you will use
