I’ve been pretty successful with the whole weight loss thing, but it’s incredibly complicated and time consuming to attempt to be frugal and healthy. Worth it, you understand, but definitely time consuming. I probably spend 3 hours every two weeks going through grocery sale papers, coupons, and recipes trying to find a combination that is healthy and reasonable from a cost perspective—and it must also not be boring. I have no desire to make the same 10 recipes over and over again. Oh, and did I mention that my nine year old son must also be willing to eat whatever it is?

Yeah.
