MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! Okay, now that I have your attention, let's talk about the lack of it. If you have been paying the least bit of attention to the national news, you would know that there has been much focus on the state of our economy. With the rise in fuel and food prices, many Americans will be faced with making smart selections when purchasing foods.

It is projected that more Americans will have to resort to using
food stamps in order to support the needs of themselves and their families. This will require us to become even more supermarket savvy as we shop healthy on a budget.

Remember, there is no stigma when you need to feed yourself properly. Check out the
USDA's tips on meal planning, shopping and budgeting.

Now, it's your turn. What are your tips for stretching the dollar while still maintaining proper nutrition?
