Stretching your food dollar

I've had an epiphany! In an ongoing effort to cut corners, pinch pennies, and stretch dollars, I've just come to the realization that bowl dinners are much more cost-effective than plate dinners. Think about all the meals you eat out of a bowl and how little it costs to make them: soup, chili, stew, shepherd's pie, etc. Making sure you have "bowl food" twice a week in your menu plan could significantly reduce your grocery bill : )
