One suggestion I have is soup. I order a lot of organic chickens

from Sheepdrove when they have them half price (I bought a second

hand freezer to stock up when they have specials). If I turn a

chicken into one meal and then soup, with brown rice, veg, etc, then

a little money goes a long way. Also soup through the blender is a

good way of using up older vegetables, or vegetables that kids might

not otherwise be too keen on, like squash, etc, that are often pretty

cheap. Sheepdrove does specials like half an organic mutton for 40

quid, which would go a long way if you're good with mutton.

Also, because of the freezer, when things like butter, mince beef,

etc, are on special, I buy a LOT! When cream is on special I buy

lots and make ice cream. If you check the environmental working

group list of fruits and veg you can see which ones are not so bad if

you buy them non-organic. Pineapple is a good example. I don't buy

that organic because they're pretty safe non-organic and cuts have to

be made somewhere.

Rice milk is apparently pretty easy and cheap to make. Recipes are

on the web.

what a lot of good ideas. I shall look at sheep drove. Sweet potato and

butternut squash (any squash) are good in soup. What sort of diet are

you on BB?

My mother is a super fussy eater and says she cannot stand the feeling

of soup in her mouth. She won't drink fruit juice or smoothies for the

same reason. She can't stand fat either. She has chronic problems with

digestion and gets incredibly cranky before a meal. She had a kidney

taken out years ago so she is working on one adrenal ( don't know

whether the left over gland makes up for that.) She has brain fog in a

bad way. She brought back en extracted tooth once from the dentist and

the brute had cut out a huge swathe (like the Red Cross symbol) in the

tooth to put a huge mercury filling in. She says she remembers how much

better she felt after the damned thing had been taken out.......I think

she may be suffering from toxicity of certain origin.

I tried to force my daughter to eat up her strawberries years ago.

That's the last time I forced an issue as she promptly delivered it all

over my brand new wool berber beige carpet right in front of the

entrance.

[Guest guest]

same here for soup, lots of stewed meat, but lots of beans and

living on a budge from now on, tips have been fab.
