Save on groceries, make your own frozen dinners
Slash your grocery bill and time spent in the kitchen. It may take a change in routine but the most important thing is to learn to cook. Don't laugh!

The closer you come to made-from-scratch cooking (starting with raw ingredients such as fresh vegetables and meat), the less it costs to feed your family.

Different kind of quesadilla

Ideas for putting items on layaway
Dear Heloise: Now that many stores have stopped having in-store layaway, I thought of a new way to put items on layaway. Most retailers now offer rechargeable, prepaid credit cards or rechargeable gift cards. Simply purchase one, put a little money on it and write what it is being used for on it. Then put more money on it every week until you can purchase what you want. It's also a good way to save up for holiday gifts without worrying about the regular monthly bills. -- Jonathan, via e-mail

Letter: Discovers real weather channel
Editor: I recently read a letter that chastised Comcast for their weather channel. I have discovered that Comcast Cable Channel 68, (not listed in the Record, by the way) is the home of The Weather Channel -- the real weather channel, in my opinion. Let's not tell Comcast.

Letter: Hostage to two cartels
Editor: We, the U.S. taxpayers, are being victimized held hostage, by two cartels, each affecting the price of fuel and our standard of living. We are all aware of the oil producers club, OPEC. The other cartel that has all of us by the throat is the U.S Congress and Senate. You would be hard pressed to pick the more dangerous of the two cartels.

Perspective
Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram, on the FBI and delays:

Letter: Ethanol not the answer
Editor: It turns out that the radical environmental push to convert corn into ethanol is proving disastrous. First, as studies have demonstrated, it costs twice as much to make a gallon of ethanol from corn as it does for a gallon of gasoline, even though gasoline is nearly twice as efficient.

Letter: Protect our beaches
Editor: President Bush has called for Congress to end a ban on off-shore drilling that was enacted in 1981. The ban has protected the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines from environmental damage caused from oil spills. Once lifted, there will begin a race of which major oil company can pump first.

Letter: Cut back on prison budget, not education
>Editor: I have heard of many education budget cuts, but I have heard of no jail or prison budget cuts. If prisoners have extended cable TV, cut them back to basic cable -- or no cable at all.

Letter: Nobody above the law
Editor: I must agree with Fred Hathorn on the total disregard the Steinheimers and company have for our laws. These sidewalks are fairly new in St. Augustine and I'm sure were not put in for their personal abuse.

Nat'l catastrophe fund should be a priority
Nobody knows what the final monetary toll will be for the floods that have devastated the Midwest.

Letter: A hurricane levee?
Editor: About as far back as I can remember the Mississippi and it's tributaries have caused floods around this time of the year. Each year the levees were not high enough and had to be piled with sand bags, and each year the levees were breached resulting in flooded cities and farms. Seems all that is needed is to build the levees higher and stronger, but it's not done.
