Budget Bytes

Post by Over43 » Tue Apr 29, 2014 4:25 am

I just came across a cook book called "Budget Bytes". So far, so good. The premise, learn to eat well, but do so frugally.

The author's suggestion number 6, out of 6? Practice portion control. Eating less (until satiated) means you need to buy less. I did a palm plant on my forehead with that one.

There is also a website (which came first!) well worth looking at:

http://www.budgetbytes.com/

It is one of the few that I regularly visit each week...

I've been visiting the website for a couple of years now and have the book on my Kindle. I enjoy both. I'll admit that I'd never thought about portion control as a money saver.
