You're right, if you make everything from scratch, you'll save money, and eat *extremely* well. Thanks for the great tips, Kady!

Shop at Asian markets for the best deal or at least shop around so that you learn what stores have the best prices for particular items (just don't drive an hour to save money because gas is too pricey!). Try to buy produce and dry items that are versatile so that you can still cook according to your tastes and cravings (ex: dry noodles, rices, nuts, green/red/etc. onions. Oh, and freeze freeze freeze anything that's freezable so that it will last longer (pesto, meats, breads, hard cheeses, etc.). Hope that helps!

That's a very smart strategy to take advantage of sales to stock up on non-perishables and canned items. Thanks for the tips, Phr0g!

In season items tend to be better buys than out of season items, and I stock up on non-perishables when they're not on sale, like pasta and canned goods. This way I keep a full pantry, but also stocked with plenty of fresh items with which to make my meals, healthfully and on a budget.
