HerMoney Classic: Cooking and Food Budget Hacks

HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

We’re so excited to reshare this episode with Leanne Brown, New York Times bestselling cookbook author of Good and Cheap: Eat Well on $4/Day ahead of Thanksgiving.

We get into how it's possible to eat healthy while saving money and her favorite pantry and freezer winter recipes from everything toasts to hearty stews.

Chapters:

00:00 Leanne Brown’s journey

06:19 “Good Enough” cooking

14:16 Favorite recipes and pantry essentials

20:01 Navigating rising grocery store prices

Takeaways:

• Simplify meals by using fewer ingredients per recipe, such as canned tomatoes, beans, pasta, and hearty greens.
• Use leftovers creatively, such as repurposing them into “stuff on toast” or hearty salads.
• Reframe cooking as a personal and flexible activity rather than a chore.
