#60 Recession Busters

At the Recession Cookbook website, I found recipes for Black Bean Soup, made from bagged black beans, and Arugula, Avocado, Orange Salad. The cost of the raw materials for this meal was less than $10.

One useful tactic I use at the grocery store to save money is to use coupons. I use them for items on sale and also for items that I use often, and stock my pantry ahead of my needs.

Shopping the sale ads for seasonal items, checking shelves for discontinued items and seeking out the 'bent & dent' bins for items that I can use right away can be a way to reduce the 'pain' at the checkout register.
