Rice, pasta and rolled oats are inexpensive too.  Replace meat in your diet with dried beans, peas, lentils, eggs, and tuna fish.  Use the store brand instead of name brands; compare unit prices to get the best bargain.   Use coupons when possible and stock up on foods on sale.  </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E31A4132-BBB6-4939-83FD-17B2759A1D03/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
