Sonny The Cook: Budget Eating

My darling husband has been cooking up a storm these days in attempts to save us a few bucks each month. In the month of February alone we spent almost $500+ just eating out!? $500 people!! And that doesn't even include the money wasted on grocery food we ended up throwing out because we weren't eating it. Sadness.

I've been reading more on how to budget our household and to keep our grocery spending to $200 a month. It's been a challenge but I am happy to report that March's grocery budget was a success! We lived off $200 a month, had brilliant lunches packed for work, and even lost a few pounds eating more proportionally balanced meals. And if you do the math it works out to be about $1.12 a meal. You really can't beat that.

Now you must be wondering why Sonny is doing the cooking and not me? Well, first of all Sonny is naturally just a talented culinary wonder. He has the patience to defrost, measure and calculate. I just want to eat, so most of the things I cook are pretty disgusting. I burnt RICE CRIPSY TREATS last week. Who does that?! We've agreed that he will cook and I will clean. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
