If we break down what it takes to save a lot of
money, cooking may be the most practical skill of
all and the corner stone of thrift and frugal
living cooking your own food will save you a
lot of money. As food prices continue to rise,
along with gasoline and other commodities, those
who have mastered the cooking techniques, frugal
recipes and food cost, may see their wealth grow
faster then they expect. Hows cooking going to
help me get rich? you say?

Quite simply, if you shop in the middle aisles of
the grocery store (the processed food aisles),
you may be paying twice as much for your calories
as you would if you bought fresh food and
prepared it yourself. This pre-packaged, toxic
junk aint cheap! Some frozen chicken nuggets
packed with Msg will cost you four times more for
calories as a fresh whole chicken would. If you
know how to butcher that chicken yourself, you
save even more its really quite easy and smart
to do

Food independence starts with being able to cook.
So, you need to master cooking techniques like,
basic knife skills, butchery, blanching,
braising, sautéing, roasting, frying, and many
more. Once youve picked up these practical
skills, you begin producing your own frugal
recipes without the aid of a cook book (just your
own imagination), and this is when you start to
save serious money! Thats the name of the game,
right? Saving money!
