Have you ever considered the volume of food ingredient-to-price ratio when buying vegetables? Often pumpkins come out on top and more importantly, they’re loaded with a variety of nutrients, including fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In terms of extending your dollar further we think they’re a ingredient that should be high on your grocery list. Pumpkins are great for roasting or adding to soups, curries and braises. Another fab money saving idea is to make a batch of roasted pumpkin cubes, seasoned and cooked in a little olive; then combining pieces with a little freshly made pumpkin purée, stock, seasoning and parmesan cheese  to make a risotto. With a little care in cooking, this very low cost meal is a winner.
