Fri, 17 Apr 2008 05:21:00 GMT With food prices on the dramatic rise, consumers need to get creative on how to reduce their bills while still leaving the store with food for a week. My grovery bill used to hit nearly $300 per week. Thanks to some store savvy strategies, we have (and you can too!) cut the bill in half! Here are some tips to make this possible.

By February most people are off the wagon. Me? I’m going strong with my resolutions. I wanted to work out more, cleanse my body and eat healthier foods. Let’s start with the gym. I started teaching a yoga class to force me to go. I’m the type of gal that needs someone to pay me to workout, so for $25 an hour, I do downward dogs, bridge lifts and deep breathe with some great men and women at Namaste Yoga Studio in Wareham, Massachusetts.

Food Network’s ratings have dropped a staggering 15% for their "In The Kitchen" weekend block of instructional cooking programs.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the cool, crisp air that instantly reminds me of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavors and foods are simple, rustic and delicious.

Do I stick to traditional or do I venture outside the box and switch things up a bit? I think back to the Thanksgiving spreads my mother cooked, and she was traditional with a twist. Her stuffing had roasted chestnuts and I remember her scoring them with an X so they did not explode in the oven. I helped open them up after they baked and I adored their firm, yet soft consistency in the stuffing. My dad LOVES giblets, so on occasion my mom would include them in the stuffing. I will be the first to admit that I love giblets too. My mom was not a big fan but she did it for him and he appreciated every bite.

I rarely roast chickens, unless I do it in my Showtime Rotisserie and roast them whole. That was my initial intention. Stop & Shop had roasting chickens on sale for sixty nine cents per pound and I sent my husband to the store to get four of them. No luck. They were out. In fact, they are still out. Rather than pay nearly four dollars a pound for boneless skinless chicken breasts, I opted for Perdue’s cut whole chicken for $1.79 per pound. It amazes me that Perdue charges one dollar and ten cents per pound more just to cut the chicken. Or are we that lazy and willing to pay that much more?

The first tell tale signs occur when the grey hairs start popping up left and right on my head, eyebrows and probably my underarms if I let the hair grow long enough. I have a few extra wrinkles around my mouth from yelling to break up fights, I look mad even when I’m not and I search the malls endlessly for a black and white striped referee outfit just to look the part.

How might you signal to someone at bedside that the show is on?
