A few weeks ago I was standing in Safeway and found myself unable to part with $1.99 for a six ounce organic bean burrito, although I'd bought them frequently when they were thirty cents cheaper and the stock market was many thousands of points higher. But no more. After all, that comes to about $5.30 a pound for what? -- a tortilla, some beans and a microscopic bit of cheese. I thought, "I can do better than that."
Since last fall, I've been consciously spending less on groceries, but I had yet to make the leap to committing to spend more time cooking. I'm there now.
