How to Reduce Your Food Costs in 60 Minutes a Week

Posted by Alaina Browne, May 11, 2008

Cheap Healthy Good is a blog about "making delicious eats at a reasonable cost," a topic I think we're all interested in these days, especially the "reasonable costs" part. A good place to dive into the wealth of tips and recipes on Cheap Healthy Good is Kris's recent post, The Hour: How 60 Minutes a Week Can Save Hundreds of Dollars on Food. What it boils down to is:

1. Scanning online circulars
2. Clipping and organizing coupons
3. Creating a menu for the week based on 1 and 2
4. Create a grocery list for the week

If you're anything like me, the most intimidating part of this process is weekly menu planning, but there are some good suggestions for how to do this. And like all great blogs, don't miss the comments—there are more excellent suggestions from the readers.
