I also help out with community gardens where people who don't have their own garden spaces can grow food for their families. We have plots we grow for the food bank too.

With the rapidly rising cost of food it makes you think about ways to manage when money is getting tighter and tighter at the same time. It is getting harder and harder to have a balanced and healthy diet day in and day out. Think outside the box is not just a good idea but a necessity.

I guess I have gone off topic haven't I?
Thanks SS and those are great ideas. No I don't think you're off topic. We can just say - "ever wonder how we can eat well on less money". This thread is for gripes or solutions to everyday problems.
