Carol, I doubt I know a thing about economising that you don't already know.
The only thing I can think of that applies to both of us is using less of
the condiments and seasonings that are not usual to where we are, but that's
often how to use something cheap, isn't it?

I am cooking with much less flesh and using yogurt to make up proteins by
having just yogurt for my lightest meal. I would use grains and beans if
there were not only me, but I hate eating the same dishes over and over so
much that I know they'd go to waste if I made them, and it isn't practical
to cook 1/2 cup servings of either.

Summer allows the possibility of big salads with small amounts of cooked
fish, poultry, cheese, etc. and seems like just the thing to eat many times.
