Happy Friday DINKS. November if finally here and this means the holiday season is quickly approaching. Halloween is over, Thanksgiving will soon be there and then it will be Christmas Time. I love the holiday season, mostly because I love eating. I also love the weather, I love spending time with family and friends, and I also love having time off work; but mostly I’m just into the holidays for the food.
Check out these great posts we have rounded up relating to food from around the web:
– Money Crashers helps us plan our weekly menus and keep our budget in tack at the grocery store in the post “10 Family Meal Planning Tips & Ideas on a Budget”. Planning ahead is definitely a money saving tactic. Before I go grocery shopping I make a list of all my meals for the week; I try to make 2-3 meals that require the same ingredients so I can cook on a budget.
– Get Rich Slowly talks about the love of chocolate and the cost of celebrating Halloween in the post “The Great Cost of Halloween Chocolate”. Halloween can definitely be an expensive time of the year when we calculate the cost of costumes, decorations, and candy.
– Young and Thrifty gives us tips on where to eat good food in the post “Cheap and Good Eats: Daily Kitchen Edition” Daily Kitchen is a restaurant that changes it menu daily. This can be both a blessing and a curse. You can never eat the same meal twice, but if you really loved a plate you may not be able to get it again.
– So Over Debt shows us the signs of a dedicated save-a-holic in the post “6 Signs You’re Too Poor to Shop at Wal-mart”. Everyone should read this post, just to see if you have ever been so broke that you walked across a massive Wal-Mart store just to save 0.30, I know that I have.
– Brooklyn Bitches on a Budget is known for living a big fabulous life on a small budget in the great borough of Brooklyn. It’s no secret that I want to live in NYC and Brooklyn would be my first choice of where to live. These bitches often share their delicious budget recipes. Check out their post “Big Fat Ginger Cookies”.
– K Cooks So Can You offers great recipes for busy people, families, couples, and friends. I have already made the “Guacamole – aka How To Win Friends” and it was delicious. I am a huge fan of Guacamole! I also love the “Monday I’m MUCH too busy to cook but really should Supper”. Be sure to check out her blog for great meal ideas and great recipes.

Hi Kristina! And my fellow Canadian!
Thanks for the mention! That food cart in the picture instantly made me hungry. Not sure what it is, maybe the lighting in the picture? :)
Hey Young,
It may be the allure of comfort food on the go :-) As soon as I saw that pic I knew that I had to use it.
Thanks so much for the mention! That pictures makes me want to cry – it looks so COLD! It’s supposed to be 70ºF here tomorrow. Not ready to say goodbye to summer yet!!!
