I'm straying a bit off the beaten path today because I think everyone has been hit hard by the rising costs of groceries. Has anyone else noticed that each trip to the grocery store yields half of the product for twice the cost?? OK, maybe that is an exaggeration, but seriously...it is getting to be ridiculous.
In my research, I ran across an interesting website called Budget Bytes. It truly is quite amazing what this writer has been able to accomplish by spending a great deal of time putting together this terrific website to assist others with their grocery budgets.
I love the fact that the writer has put together not only the recipes, but also a "Go To" site where one can find the best deals in the area and you can even create a Recipe Box where you can keep your favorites. A lot of the research usually done by us has already been done by Budget Bytes. Go ahead and check it out...I find it to be quite the interesting website.
The site even calculates how much it will cost you to make each dish!
There is absolutely no compensation or product samples involved in this endorsement. I am simply calling it as I see it. I think it is a very well developed site with a ton of information.
The good news is that it has the potential to save you money!!

We will go take a look in a minute. Over here we have the same problem. Costs go up and packet size go down. Have a fabulous Friday.

Amen, Jeanne! And I don't think it's an exaggeration at all because I've noticed that I am spending TWICE as much as I used to in the last year. I actually shop at two different grocery stores because I find some things cheaper in one, than the other.
And thank you SO MUCH for sharing this information website because I will most definitely be checking it out sometime this weekend!
And that Santa Fe Chicken dish looks and sounds yummy! That's my kinda food!
Have a super weekend, my friend!
X to you and the girlz!
