These sites have "starter kits" and the green beans for roasting. They also have instructions for how to do it. There are actually many sites for doing this.

Most places match competitors prices, and you can use both a store coupon + a manufacturers. Always check the website of your most used products.]]> http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/157/do-you-buy-frozen-food-meals Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:14:00 -0400 CherylL 157@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/64/saving-money-grocery-shopping Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:55:13 -0400 dcomeau 64@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/67/the-pantry-investment Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:22:07 -0400 messylilthings 67@/discussions/discussions
One of the best ways I have found to save money in the kitchen area is a long-term investment in a stocked pantry. Over the past year, I have tried to buy at least one of these items with every shopping trip and over time as you find recipes, your grocery list becomes smaller and smaller. It's also incredibly satisfying to cross things off the list.

Some of my own personal bulk pantry items I try to keep stocked at all times!:
- Olive oil
- Various vinegars: red, white, apple cider, balsamic
- Spices!- cayenne, cumin, bay leaves, etc.
- Capers
- Pastas
- Grains such as rice and quinoa
- Breadcrumbs
- Flour
- Sugar
- Canned tomatoes
- Soy sauce
- Dijon mustard
- Chicken stock

Any others? ]]> http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/16/packing-a-lunch Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:27:51 -0400 LV 16@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/17/saving-at-the-grocery-store Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:28:38 -0400 LV 17@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/78/budget-friendly-meals Fri, 28 Oct 2011 09:49:19 -0400 BritH 78@/discussions/discussions
