Pinching Pennies

Divine Caroline lists foods to satisfy your nutritional needs without blowing the bank.

All of these are available here in Finland, too, but some of them, like tofu, are maybe not as inexpensive as in US. I’d add salmon and chicken to the list, but then, good-quality salmon and chicken isn’t always easy to find or cheap, either.

Good Food’s Carol Wilson has a new year’s resolution: stop buying exotic, rarely used ingredients that mostly go unused just because some recipe tells you to add a pinch.

Going through our cupboards we found some ingredients that had passed their use by -date some time ago, but not many and nothing too eccentric. I’ve noticed it’s generally better to buy basic ingredients, i.e. nothing processed, and have a definitive idea what you’re using it for.
