WIP Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 In case anyone missed it, one of the big news stories this weekend besides Libya, is that retailers are warning us to expect higher food prices next month. Other commodity analysts are warning consumers not to expect prices to go down: Higher food prices here to stay, says economistCTV Edmonton It's time for a lot of people who are used to fast food and the convenience crap in the supermarket aisle to learn how some basics about how to cook from scratch and save money. It's what most people around the world have to do, and the way we used to eat here before WWII; and homemade meals are almost guaranteed to be healthier than the additive-laden stuff that a lot of people are used to popping in the microwave. A good tip for busy working people who don't have time to spend 2 hours in the kitchen every night has always been to set aside some time on the weekend to prepare meals for the week, and pack them away in the freezer until they're needed.

Good points. I've been a lazy cook, but in the last few months I have stayed away from frozen and fast food for the most part. Learning to cook for myself, something I've never really done. And with some of the meals I make, it only takes about 30-40 mins. It's a skill for sure. Freezing those meals for future use is a good idea as well. Maybe I should start preserving stuff like my Grandmother and Oma used to do. Quote
