We get wheat from a farmer near us and grinding our own makes the best bread we've ever had. We have a family of eight so keeping costs down is paramount. We never buy canned soup...it just could never get even half as cheap as I can make my own. In fact we eat soup several times a week.

Add optional 1 tsp vanilla. Peanut butter might be good stirred in.

Rob in Madrid,

Actually those menus are somewhat like how I eat. Thanks for the idea. I’ll have to perhaps try a similar format.

I often wonder at people who are clipping coupons to buy the cheapest breakfast cereal, when if they thought outside of the box, they would see that oatmeal, homeade bread toasted, etc, are all cheaper still. Same principle applies to other meals...Look forward to the rest of the series! Oh, and I've noticed that our Costco here (Victoria) sells flour cheaper than any of the supermarkets: $9 for 10k instead of $14ish... This is a good reminder, Tim.
