Haven't seen the price of food coming down yet, have you? Even with summertime coming on and produce being more available, those prices just keep creeping up.
I don't know about you, but summertime means more activity around here. Working outside, doing things and going places that are reserved for warm weather wears me out sometimes. Cooking is the last thing I want to do when I'm tired, and I'm tempted to run to the closest hamburger joint, but with the price of food going up even there, staying home is a frugal (and cool!) option.
So, thinking about that, I wrote an article for Associated Content about making your own fast food:
Beat the High Cost of Food: Do it Yourself Fast Food
When I started researching, it was surprising to me how simple their tricks are. Maybe you knew that (and I feel as if I should have known it!) or maybe you know more about the tricks they use, but it was enough to make me stay home.

More about saving on food
I just published an article titled "Beat the High Cost of Food: Get it Free" on Associated Content.
There are some things I didn't mention there, though... one is that it takes planning and work to get free food, so that it isn't really free. We have to work at anything, whether we work for money and turn that money into goods, or work directly for goods (or food).
It's often more fun or more satisfying to work directly for goods or food, especially if the method is a little out of the ordinary for you. For instance, it might not seem to be much fun for a farmer to glean a field by hand, but for those who sit at a desk all week, an hour or so in the sun and dirt can be might satisfying.
That's just one way of getting "free" food. Pick and choose yours, or use all methods possible.
Just another way to beat the ever increasing cost of food.

Current Economy and Associated Content
Well, prices are still on the rise. What news, huh? Not only grocery and energy prices, but it seems like everything has gone up. As someone who's always been conscious of every penny spent (almost!), the current economy is of peculiar concern.
How do we continue to live comfortably and deal with rising prices, investment disappointments and stuck incomes? I have several articles on Associated Content that could help:
Designing a Budget that Works
How to Save on Food
Save Electricity at Home
Wanna Trade? Barter Yourself to Financial Freedom
Energy Alternatives
There's more here: Pat Veretto's Content
