If you want to save money, do what this mother of six did. She started planning her meals one year in advance.

I kind of do that. Like, there are a few things I make that require buttermilk, but only rarely do I need it. So, I started buying this powdered buttermilk that Cook's Illustrated said was good and you can store it in the fridge for like a year. Having to gather and store everything is the hardest part about trying to cook for me.

But, I enjoy more being a work in progress, constantly adapting to whatever I fancy lately. Having to feed 6 kids must have taken all the joy out of cooking for her. Now, it's just a job..
