I'm currently between jobs, which means I'm on a budget. Almost every time I've gone to the grocery store, I've looked longingly at a jar or can of tahini... but I haven't been able to justify buying one.
It hasn't really been an obsession or anything. If it was really that crazy, I'd just buy it. It isn't like tahini is ridiculously expensive. Still, I really like both hummus and baba ganoush. Both of these things require tahini, are easy to make, and are, other than the tahini, inexpensive.

Whole chickens are a great bargain. If you just roast a chicken and set it out on the table to be picked clean, though, you're probably only going to get a single meal out of a chicken (maybe with some leftovers). With a bit of planning, you can make a single chicken go much farther than that.

I rarely have the patience for coupon clipping. I don't want to sift through advertisements and coupons for things I don't need. On the other hand, I like to take advantage of good deals. It occurred to me that there were plenty of coupon sites out there. Most of them, though, will force me to wade through store deals that aren't terribly useful for me. We don't have a Safeway or a Jewel or a Wegman's or a Superfresh or a Giant around here.

Brokeass Gourmet started up about the same time as I began Kitchenhacker.net, and I can't say that I can think of a more timely food blog out there. Focusing on the 'triple threat' of food, wine, and sex; Brokeass is a blog for lean years that you don't want to feel lean. Their recipes and suggestions are aimed at leading you toward a more economical lifestyle that doesn't make you feel like your making any sacrifices.

There are three main ways to improve your cooking:
- Improve your cooking techniques.
- Improve your judgment in the kitchen.
