I love to turn one meal's leftovers into somthing else. I just took some leftover spaghetti sauce and mixed it with taco seasonings, rotel tomatoes, corn, peas, potatoes and chicken broth and I had a good copy of tortilla soup without the tortillas like you would get in a mexican resturant. You can turn leftover spaghetti sauce into several kinds of soups or chili. Just about anything can be turned into something else if you have the patience to think about it.

I agree with many of these comments. i too will bake things from scratch as opposed to buying the ready made items at the store. for example, this weekend i made 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies and the only thing i had to buy were the chocolate chips (i already had everything else on hand). i would like to add, to all of those people who have fruit trees in their yards: what a waste! I can't believe how many homes i drive past and there are apples and pears and grapes just rotting away because some people are too lazy to pick this FREE fruit and make use of it!

this times are specially hard for people with children. my sister passed away a year ago and my husband and i are raising my twin nieces. we dont have children of our own and is hard for us to make them eat what is healthy and easy on our wallets. soups and stews are good and you can used any veggies. also peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are good lunches for the girls. we make our own apple sauce and cookies which saves us from buying the ones at th store.

I believe it is tough to save money some times. Everybody likes to go out and eat but its just to expensive. Eating at home can also be expensive but much cheaper than eating out. So we must find cheaper things in the grocery store to buy to prepare at home. I like how the article turned Sunday nights roast chicken into mondays chicken enchiladas. I believe in eating leftovers and actually preparing a meal with them. If you are cleaver in the kitchen you can prepare a meal with almost anything. Never throw leftovers out unless spoiled. In tough times you will be suprised what you can do with not much food in the frige

if that is what it takes to make Americans stop being consumer hogs and stop buying the not eco-friendly SUV's and stop spoiling their children instead of actually parenting them. We all eat too much and there are too many new products hitting the marketplace that we don't need - do people really need to be walking around with a cell phone or driving while talking - Americans have bought into commercials that are constantly making us dissatisfied with what we already own. Our reliance on foreign oil is ridiculous - it makes us bow down to our enemies whose wars we're fighting and losing. We have too much mass transit that people don't take advantage of. Other countries actually use their trains and buses and ride bikes - we've done this to ourselves
