Food costs are on the rise. We have all seen it. We are all trying to manage and figure out hwo we are going to pay for those same growing grocery bills with a budget that is not growing. Try your hand at growing some veggies. I am not talking about starting a veggie patch out in your yard. Many don’t have the time, energy, desire, or resources for a home garden. However you can grow quite a bit of veggies in containers such as larger flower pots and 5 gallon buckets. Tomatoes are a GREAT choice for the first time veggie gardener because they are so versatile and you get a lot of yield per plant. This means you could grow enough tomatoes of 3-4 plants to keep you in spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, salsa, soup, and salad for quite some time! Container gardening is a great way to do a little money saving on the groceries, without having to have a master’s in Greenthumbology! It’s simple and it’s frugal!
These are my thoughts.
