      A few things I'd like to share: Our garden has nearly reached it's end- but still offering several tasty items including fresh yams/sweet potatoes, jalapenos, as well as another round of tomatoes and cukes.
      Luckily the herbs are still plentiful as well with large sprigs of coriander, basil, rosemary and thyme. It's wonderful to add fresh herbs to your food, they're so much more flavorful than their dried counterparts.

      FYI: The easiest way to plan your menu is take a look at what you have on hand and then view the weeks sales flyers for your favorite stores. If you didn't know, we've compiled a list of All the store flyers for every store we can think of. If your store isn't listed, comment at the bottom of the page and we'll add it for you.

    • Presenting . . .

      The average family of 4 in the United States spends more than $700 a month on groceries alone. In the “2012 Family Guide to Groceries under $250 a Month" the author outlines how and where to cut grocery expenses to get spending under control while opening the consumers eyes to little known dirty manipulation tactics employed by retailers to seduce unsuspecting customers into spending sprees.

        For many people struggling to maintain a budget, the cost of groceries is the only major expense in their control that can be drastically reduced without feeling a negative impact on their lifestyle. Liss explains in detail how to make simple changes that will not only pinch pennies, but help pinch Benji’s too!

      The 57 pg eBook is available on  Kindle (& Kindle's Free PC reader!)
