articles.moneycentral.msn.com— As a test, MSN Money puts a household's food budget on a strict diet. The experiment has its downsides (no more rice, please!) but shows how to take a bite out of grocery bills.

I have a friend who has a large family, and they do everything all organic and try to keep a somewhat Ayurvedic diet. The funny thing is watching these young kids fight over the last bit of tofu, or the last olive, or the last slice of fresh pear, or the last helping of spinach something-or-other. It warms the heart, it really does.
It's fantastic that fast food and processed food is more cheap in US rather than the organic food. in here making a pizza at home is at least 1/3 price of the fast foods prices. and I mean making it from original material not frozen pizza in stores.some advice from somebody which last an eight year war at his childhood: you must learn the art of keeping food fresh. e.g never add sauce to salad at first. let every body does it him/herself. bring the sauce in a separate dish. in this case you can store the salad main vegetable and greens in refrigerator again in a closed bowl.pack main greens(not chopped) in a wet handkerchief and then in a nylon. do not wash cucumber or else they would rot soon.one of my friend who lived in Washington said that most of the American never keep their leftover.it's a sin here. the first thing I learn was to respect food. we never put bad remaining bread with other garbage. and for your info meat price in iran is the same as USA: chicken 4.5$/Kg meat: 10$/kg try to learn it. first step: try to avoid mixing foods together as much as possible. if you're European just ask your grandparent how they survive during world war II with food shortage.its good for your wallet and wasting food is not acceptable morally.
Seriously, I can't make a single comment on this site without some jackass like toxictonic making a grammar correction. How about you go get a job proof reading instead of doing it for free on the internet, Mr big shot.
There's TONS of ideas to stretch a food budget for an emergency... 100 dollars a week??? Rediculous!! I can do it in about 40-50! Whiny little gobs**te kids should appreciate what they are fed and not give any lip. Period!

Except you can't consider a packet of ramen and a half a case of Keystone Light Saturday night's "dinner" for a toddler.
