How much money can I save?
| |
| |
Quite a bit. If you use the Thrifty Kitchen system every week,
you should be able to feed a family of 4 on for close to $400 per month.
The national average is over twice that amount.
|
Where do you get your recipes?
|
| |
Everywhere! I have a large collection of cookbooks as well as
subscriptions to some great cooking magazines & newsletters.
|
What if I don't want to make one or more of the recipes for the week?
|
| |
No problem - the ingredients on the shopping list are coded by recipe.
If you want to make only certain recipes, buy only the items indicated for those recipes.
|
What if my kids are picky eaters?
|
| |
The recipes I choose are intended to be family-friendly, but also nutritious and do include a variety of vegetables,
fish, spices, etc.
You know your family best - if there are ingredients in a recipe you know will be
unpopular, you can usually just leave them out.
|
Do I need any special equipment?
|
| |
Just a good assortment of pots & pans & typical kitchen appliances.
You will need a good slow-cooker and a broiler pan if you don't already own them.
|
Do you follow your own plan?
|
| |
Yes! What you see in the weekly plan is what my family is eating
that week.
|
Why are there only six nights worth of menus?
|
| |
If your family is like mine, there is at least one night each week
where you eat dinner with friends, at a school potluck, or the local pizza parlor.
