| Food Swap meet in Brooklyn, NY |
- Food swap ...what is that? Well, I am sure if you went through your kitchen cabinet you will find many items untouched instead of discarding or expiring take your untouched treasures and swap them for other food items. You can host one at your house or visit this site: http://ebcaswaps.blogspot.com/
- Think of multiple ways to create amazing healthy dishes by using a few items; for example if you like avocados - create a main dish, entree or appetizer with avocados instead of using it for one dish.
- Also, buy what is in season like fresh strawberries or watermelon and check out the markets online and print out coupons in advance: wholefoodsmarket.com/stores.com
- Print coupons from sites that are already researched thanks to Shopsmart.com (don't waste your time signing up for sites that will clog your email box). I like MoneySavingMom.com the best because her site is not saturated with ad overkill and it is easy to navigate.
