Budgeting and also knowing good deals and seeing one is an under appreciated skill.
I found a ripping deal on ham this week and bought quite a bit of it and made really nice sandwiches out of them and couldnβt be happier.
It absolutely is - it also needs to be paired with the ability to cook and menu plan well.
A lot of people have the basic skill set of being able to choose a recipe, buy the ingredients and make a meal, but don't have the ability to reverse the process and create something based on which ingredients are available. Which works well for me, I have often ended up with things like trays of meat left over from events because people don't have any idea what to do with them (or have a mental block against "leftovers").
Mix and mash all the stuff together. What could go wrong?
Iβm fairly simple so if there were trays of meat you could pair it up with rice, pasta, sandwich, noodles just on a basic level. Nothing fancy or complicated but maybe I just donβt have any good ideas in my head.
