Janice Lieberman give us The Real Deal on how to make your meals and your money
stretch at home.
A pound of ground turkey and some veggies - $28
worth of ingredients - can make four different meals for one person.
"And you can see how colorful and bright and
different they are. You're not eating the same thing every night and it's so
much less expensive than takeout," Hartigan says.
The chef also recommends freezing small meals - so
you can defrost just enough for the one meal.
Plan out your menu for the week - and stick to your
shopping list.
When you have some free time, just prep your veggies
and refrigerate them.
