I have a really great Blogroll....I am very picky about the blogs that I keep on that list and I really hope that y'all take some time to browse through them...because let me tell you...there are resources aplenty within them!
In keeping with my New Year goals...and working towards being more SGF (Simple, Green, and Frugal) ...I just had to share this post with you...it really inspired me:
How I Cut My Grocery Bill by 75%
I used to be very proud of what I spent on the weekly shopping, as if it was a mark of my commitment to my health. In fact, I remember not so long ago telling a friend I couldn't cut my grocery bill because I buy all organic and free range and I was committed to making healthy choices. Then suddenly, I found I could in fact still continue my same health and ethical commitments and yet save money. I started small, trying to shave £5 off my bill each week, but within a month I'd slashed my grocery bill by 75% - from £60 a week to around £15. Here's my top tips for how I accomplished it:....Read the rest HERE
I really love that she ended the post with these words: ....I used to think this meant I had to spend a lot of money, now I know it just means I have to make good choices, be creative, start enjoying baking and cooking and wake up a part of me I never knew existed!

Thank-you for having my blog on your blogroll. I always get a kick out of it when others read my blog.
I enjoyed your post about cutting your food bill and improving your health. Great post!
We have had chickens off and on for a few years. Just this last year I found that some of them are better producers then others (I guess I am a slow learner..lol. Well, we did move to a different state and that does effect them differently.)
Anyway, we found so far that out of the different kinds I have had that the RIR's are the best for us. They have been the last to stop laying (I do not give extra light in the winter time) and the first to start up. They gain just enough weight to make it worth processing. Great all around bird.
I also read a study done by Mother Earth News about how much better the eggs are from free ranged birds then just caged feed birds. It's amazing the difference.
Well I better get up and get my morning work done.
Thanks again for adding me to your blogroll.

I am so happy to be on your blogroll and I've just added you to mine!
You can definitely save money and buy great food. For me, it's about taking the time to watch ads and sales. I've even gone so far as to contact certain companies and request coupons (works about 1/2 the time) and they often send generous amounts on the coupons.
