[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 908838, member: 150927"] I can always find brie and camembert on special, although I always try to buy local, and alas, that does not always link up. (We live in interesting times when it comes to food politics and economics - that's for sure.) Nuts are a big cost too, but I have been able to slip them in even when the coffers are low. I agree with mehhh - I think perhaps everyone eats 'simply' most of the time - mostly we have a few tried and truly dishes that fill, taste good, and are good on the budget. My staple 'simple' is zoodles (zucchini noodles) and a homemade red sauce (like an Italian matron I cook up a good amount once a week), with the addition of meat leftovers or canned Omega-3-full fish of some kind (always to be found on special or a good price anyway). Zucchinis can be rather costly out of season - but still cheaper than the pasta substitutes I would buy at health food stores otherwise. Tinned diced tomatoes and good quality tomato puree is cheap everywhere as far as I have seen (for the red sauce). Ditto herbs and spices. And Mr Svea likes to grow herbs when on home ground - which is marvellous. But yes - a new dish once a week or so, or a new (old) cooking technique to try out to keep it interesting, and yummy. (I say this as someone who does not like cooking, but who loves eating! On a low budget.) Thankfully Mr Svea and I share the once a week new low-carb dish cooking, so I only have to pour over recipe books now once a fortnite or so to have something new, cheap and tasty. [/QUOTE]
