My bride and I also tend to cook at home more. Although we do have a weekly
dinner date, we tend to hit the ethnic grocery stores often where the savings
are higher and the products are often fresher than the local big name stores.

Would love to see that Chili recipe!

We were fortunate in Australia while there. The exchange rate is definitely in
favor of the USD. We had some pretty amazing nights out for well under $100 US.
Due to the exchage rate, venison and or Roo burger was barely $6/lb US.
Had some nice T-Bone steaks from a butcher shop for about $5/lb.
Was shocked at the cost of blueberries. Super fresh and sweet for only about $2
for a dry pint. The same product here yesterday was $6 US and very tart.
