We’re all feeling the pinch of rising prices—at the pump and at the grocery store. I say its time to pinch back and make those pennies give up a little more!

With food prices going up nearly as fast as gas prices, in an upcoming series of articles we are going to explore some simple ways to save money on food bills.

When I say simple, I mean simple. Really, really simple. As in, if I can do it and not mess it up, blow it up or poison any one when I cook it, you too can successfully do it! I’m talking Betty Crocker and Martha Stewart would be ashamed to know me. However, for some strange reason I feel the need to feed that guy I married and those kids who keep calling me “Mom.”

Included with our articles on putting a little hurt on those pennies will be recipes geared to that week’s topic. With that said, and my honestly admitted total lack of talent in the kitchen, I would love some input from you readers. If you have a favorite “Screaming Penny” recipe or tip, please send it in. Impress your friends and neighbors. Make your mom proud. We’d love to hear from you and publish you in the RC Post! Send your your tips and recipes to sl_rcpost@yahoo.com and we’ll feature the best on our website for all to admire!
