Whether you’re dumpster-diving-for-food poor, have an incredibly limited grocery budget, or have a garden variety thrifty grocery budget, you’ll find some ideas that work for you. Most of the suggestions also consider that someone with a tight budget probably spends a lot of time working and can’t always deliver every single bite from lengthy scratch-cooking processes.

This can’t really be called a cookbook as much as it is a "hodgepodge of thrifty ideas about food." You can substitute ingredients in just about every recipe based on what you have on hand. The flexibility is what helps to make it so frugal. The foods you’ll make are truly YOUR meals, based on what you have, what you’ll eat, and what you can afford.

Saving money in the kitchen doesn’t have to be dull and depressing. These frugal ideas, paired with the right attitude (and a sense of humor), will level up your menu!

Starting in July, Saudi Arabia will cut its oil supply by 1 million barrels per day. This move to bolster the falling oil prices of crude oil for the Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC) may result in an increase in prices consumers pay at the pump and for other goods and services impacted by this inflationary move.
The slump in crude oil prices that the Saudis are seeking to reverse has allowed U.S. drivers to fill their tanks more cheaply and provided some relief from inflation.

Unfortunately for us as consumers in a nation that avoids energy independence, the Saudi decision to cut production will increase global oil demand and may lead to higher oil prices and inflation.

Here's how it will affect us and how we can prepare for it.
