What I hear most frequently from readers is that you guys want more San Francisco Bay Area restaurant recommendations and some easy recipes. (Though my friends are wonderful cooks, and I have seen many a varied set of methods they use to cut things, I won’t post a video about how to use a cooking knife as it may fall on deaf ears.) So then I resort to cooking in general. And why not Chinese cooking since many of the tasty dishes you can get in the restaurant can (supposedly) be reproduced in your kitchen, whether you’ve got a gas stove or All Electric Kitchen.

Hit with a bout lately of work leaving precious free time left to cook a nice tomato sauce from scratch, I happened on this bargain at the local San Francisco Trader Joe’s.
Their Recipe #99: Traditional Marinara Sauce jar of spaghetti sauce sells for a whopping, brace yourselves, 99 cents! Yes, that’s $0.99, less than $1 (without tax) and all that. You’ve got to appreciate how they’re able to do this, when probably the most expensive piece of this purchase is the glass jar.

Over on MSN’s Health & Fitness site, author Sally Wadyka writes about 10 little known grocery store facts.
If you’re fond of cheap food and food bargains, however, I hope that some of these grocery store tactics come as no surprise to you:
- Kid-friendly food is purposely placed within their reach.
- They cut up food so they can charge more.
- End-of-aisle displays are there to distract you from your mission.
- Bargains aren’t always a bargain.
