I’ve found something great—really great. Without diving into the health reasons or humanitarian reasons, lets only look at our grocery bills. I feel like an infomercial, yet this discovery is great on the wallet.

Cut back on the meat.

Meat is often the most expensive item we incorporate into our meals… nearly every one of our meals, too. Imagine if you could eliminate that expensive chunk of your grocery bill. I’m not saying cut off all meat consumption; cut back.

Eating meatless meals doesn’t mean salad every night. Todd gags at the thought of tofu, but no one said that eating meatless meals meant eating things you don’t like. Handfuls of recipes exist in the cookbooks sitting on your shelf and computer.

My proof:
Before we were married, my husband spent $300 on food every month for himself. Now that we’re married and cutting the majority of meat from our diet, we’re spending less than $300. On top of that, we’re able to afford more organic and unprocessed foods.

Plus, we’re left with fewer dishes coated in grease. Martha Stewart, THAT is a good thing.
