Cooking from scratch is always fun and most times will save you money, especially if you like to use all fresh ingredients. But finding the money to use those fresh ingredients – is tough if you are on a budget.
I’ve teamed up with one of my favorite food bloggers, Jen from Savor The Thyme. She is an awesome cook and makes most of her recipes using fresh ingredients – and organic ingredients at that! She also loves to shop at CVS and I’ve been teaching her how to get the best deals each week for the things her family needs, in exchange for tasting some of her yummy recipes.
We sat one day thinking how we can work together and help our readers to save money and cook some homemade meals that their family will love, without touching their weekly food budget. And guess what? We came up with something that shows off both of our strengths and lets us shop together and have fun at the same time.
Each week we will plan a shopping trip at CVS to purchase items that our families need and then take those savings to purchase a meal that Jen will then create into a yummy recipe that I’m sure you will all love.
How does that sound?
We are finalizing our plans and next week will be our first post. Our plan is to shop/cook each week, baring nothing in our households stops us from doing that because after all we are both married and have children and anyone who is as well, knows that families always come first.
So head on over to Savor The Thyme to check out Jen and her awesome recipes so you have an idea of what you can expect.
