Great link from my sister-in-law, Nichole. Some really fantastic info!
[Grocery Tips]
Also would like to add:
~The first bit about grocery store rotisserie vs. roasting your own has one major flaw. Not only can you roast your own for TONS cheaper, but you can roast it in the crockpot for nearly the same convenience as grocery store rotisserie. Bar none, crockpot roast chicken is amazing. I roast mine upside down and end up with the juiciest and most tender chicken breasts of all time.
~Using chicken thighs vs. breast: boneless chicken thighs are only a tiny bit more expensive than bone-in, and are tons more convenient. Plus, the additional fat in the meat makes thighs ideal for stir-frying or sauteing.
~On seafood: I found a bag of frozen tilapia loins for about $6. Each fillet is enough for one adult, and there's about 12 per bag. That's $1 per serving! (until you get going on the side dishes)
~EAT SEASONAL!!! Not only is it smart, cheaper, and tastes freakin' amazing, it can be SO MUCH FUN. I had a great time with my mom, mother-in-law, and my daughter trolling local farmers markets. It also is a great way to support local farms. When we get closer to spring, I'll start posting what's coming into season.
