June is going to be a very busy month for me here at Delicieux. I am very happy to say that as well as launching a new blogging challenge (Four Seasons Food) I am also going to be hosting one of my very favourite monthly events CREDIT CRUNCH MUNCH! Thank you Helen from Fuss Free Flavours & Camilla from Fab Food 4 All for trusting me with your baby…
I enter into Credit Crunch Munch every month without fail. The concept of creating money conscious meals is so important in todays family life and I wholeheartedly support it! It’s all about saving some money but still eating really great food!
Money saving topics could be:-
Dishes using cheaper ingredients – cheap cuts of meat or vegetarian
Meals using leftovers
Meals using up the ends of packets
Substitutions of cheaper ingredients
Packed lunches
Meals that use less energy to cook
Pressure cooking
Slow cooking
Faster cooking – less oven time for example
Batch cooking for the freezer
Sustainable foods
Food you have grown yourself
Meals from reduced food in the supermarket
The list is endless so get creative!

Definitely going to get my act together this month!
It’s tough isn’t it – there’s so many great challenges out there you just can’t do them all! We hope you do have something for us though and we look forward to it x
Great idea Anneli, I’m all for cheaper ingredients, as long as it doesn’t involve compromising my ethics – for example, you can get eggs for ~7c per egg, but I’d rather spend 30c per egg and know they’re ethically reared. That’s just me – I’d rather go without eggs than eat “bad” ones, but I know some people don’t have the same qualms. Same for meat… we actually only eat meat about once or twice a week in our house, and it’s not even necessarily because we can’t afford it… it’s just because we don’t feel the need to eat it so often, and certainly don’t miss it!
Thanks Charles. This challenge has been around for a while and I think it’s just great so I am very happy to host this month. I am the same about eggs though…definitely all for happy chickens. We also eat veggie a fair bit. Better for the wallet and the waistline and the insides! All round goodness 🙂
As it looks to me, things seem to be going fine. I hope you have a lot of fun with hosting the challenge this month.
Thanks Chris! Yes, I am having lots of fun hosting all these challenges. I am finding lots of great new bloggers and recipes! It’s win win 🙂
A great challenge. I’m new to blogging though and haven’t embarked on twitter yet. I’ve added all the links though, is there an email I could enter by?

Whoo hoo! I got my act together and managed to get my entry in on time 🙂
This is such a cool idea. I like to save money any way I can. I think most people are keeping a closer eye on their expenses these days. So this is a great idea.
Thanks Kim – yes, it’s a very relevant challenge. Always full of great thrifty recipes.
