From the Author:

FIVE EASY WAYS TO LOWER YOUR FOOD BILLS. 1. Cook from scratch. Cooking from scratch is almost always less expensive than buying prepackaged food items, and it doesn't mean you will be spending all your time in the kitchen. 2. Create your own low-cost meals. Learn to cook with low-cost ingredients. Find recipes that call for inexpensive ingredients. 3. Stop believing that coupons save you a great deal of money. Coupons can fool you into thinking you're saving money when in reality you are not because coupons are usually for overpriced prepackaged foods. 4. Comparison shop so that you know which stores provide the best buys. No one store will always be the best place to shop. By comparison shopping, you will have greater buying power. 5. Cut back on the number of sweets you feed your family. Sugar has no nutrients, just calories. When you eat foods high in sugar, you probably overeat to consume the nutrients you need.
