From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
Eating is my favorite sport, but as hobbies go, it's pretty expensive. Food prices are always on the rise, it seems, and if you want to eat decently, you'll have to shell out for it. Or so I always assumed.

How to Make Cheap Steak Taste Good
"Cheap steak" has always been right up there with "black market antibiotics" in my pantheon of bad-idea phrases. But I'm rethinking my pricey approach, thanks to this piece.

Low Carb on a Budget
Lately, I've been trying to eat lower carb, which stinks for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the fact that carbs are cheap. So I'm impressed with the low-carb blogger, mentioned here, who fed her family on $3 per person per day.

Gourmet Food on a Budget
"Do you frequently find yourself in food shops, transfixed by the heady aroma of cheese, gazing at the olives, balancing Marcona almonds and quince paste in one hand, truffle oil and stone-ground mustard in the other?" Honesty compels me to admit that I don't, but now that I've read that description, maybe I'll start.

Good Nutrition on a Budget
Gourmet or down-home, the most important consideration when it comes to planning your meals is nutrition.
