In reply to Captain FI. Totally agree Captain FI! We are trying to incorporate more of a plant based whole food diet into our lives as well - both for the physical and financial benefits. And we too love growing our garden in the summer. Can’t beat home grown produce!

Some awesome tips here. I found switching to a mostly whole food, plant based diet was a huge factor in getting my cost of food down. I also enjoy growing heaps of fresh veggies like lettuce, peas, tomatoes and herbs which is a fun hobby of mine and produces awesome fresh produce to save even more money. The stuff you grow at home is always way better, too!

Haha “time to math shit up” got me. This is honestly the best advice out there though for people who insist that they can’t save money or don’t have room in their budget to carve out some savings. I also thought you did it without being preachy.Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together!

In reply to Rebecca. Never too late Rebecca! Thanks for including these links! I’ve heard of Budget Bytes and Budget Epicurean but Pick Up Limes is new to me. Definitely going to check out the Banh Mi sandwich as our favourite Vietnamese place just closed down unfortunately :(

In reply to Court and Nic.

I am late to the party, but for blog recommendations:
– Budget Bytes (https://www.budgetbytes.com/): Big section of vegetarian and vegan (friendly) recipes with a cost break down
– Pick Up Limes (https://www.pickuplimes.com/): Vegan blog with added videos on YouTube – her sauces and marinades are divine! I can recommend the recipes for a vegan Banh Mi sandwich and the spicy garlic tofu.
– Budget Epicurean (http://www.budgetepicurean.com/): Stopped posting but offers a good range on frugal friendly recipes (haven’t tested them myself but saw them higly recommended on another blog).

[…] When we talk about Financial Independence, it’s always so heavily focused on the numbers. The money. The wealth. The investing. The savings rates. The budgeting. The life hacks. The daily spending. Becoming impermeable to the steady stream of advertising for the next best thing to empty your pockets for.

In reply to Jaimee. I think it’s an area that needs improvement in MANY homes so hoping it helps you and your family a bit. Maybe we will come up with a Modern Fimily cookbook down the road
