So as we all know the dollar just doesn't quite buy us what it used to.  Everyone is making adjustments of some kind.  Some people are standing around whining about the situation and others are doing something to deal with it rationally.  One such rational approach is being taken by Susanne over at Hillbilly Housewife.  This woman has mastered stretching the food budget to the max. She offers a $45 Emergency Menu that feeds a family of 4 for a week. How crazy is that?  Really it is amazing. She gives you a complete shopping list, the recipes, the entire week's meal plan, and the step by step daily work.  

The more I time I spend on her site the more little gems of insight I find. Reading her site has inspired me to make some wiser choices with my own food budget.  I am looking forward to eating healthier for less money.
