So a big part of our budget for me is the grocery bill. We are trying to save money but still eat great. One of the blogs I follow is this one and she is the author of two books. I own her other one and loved it and I just got this one on Amazon for like $12.00 and it arrived yesterday. I haven't read it from cover to cover yet...but we made zucchini bread today using her recipe and it was delicious. And her blog today explained how to freeze corn. We bought a dozen ears at the farmers market last Sunday and the week got away from us and we still had too much left. So I used 6 ears of corn and followed her easy directions and froze two meals of corn (2 cups and 3 cups). Which cost us 2.00 for the half dozen of corn...so what a deal! This winter we will enjoy some corn for $1.00 a bag! I also froze some of our bread that we made today. Her book has lots of easy recipes and a ton of great ideas for saving money with the groceries. Her ideas make sense and I am pumped to implement more of them. We are hitting a farmers market tomorrow morning so that we can freeze a little more corn...and maybe something else!
Do you freeze or can anything that helps stock up for the winter? How do you save money grocery shopping?

Great idea! Please keeps sharing these ideas!
I want to see this book. I always make chili and freeze it. I should freeze leftover spagetti sauce because it ends up going to waste when I don't reheat it in a day or two. Last st. patty's day we made twice baked potatoes and froze those (and used green food coloring) ha. usually when we buy a bag of potatoes, 1/2 of it goes to waste b/c we don't eat them that often. but yeah---i'd like to see that book. oh yeah and i buy chicken on the bone and boil it to use in soups-it goes further and is moist compared to the chicken breast. then i add tonnnnns of veggies to it-and freeze it for lunches. YUM. RR
