    Shrimp reeks expensive. And it certainly can be expensive.

    But it doesn’t have to be. Shrimp can be bought in a number of different varieties…cooked, raw, fresh, frozen, tailless, by count, from mini to jumbo prawn.  It’s often on unadvertised sales, and can be found for less at “non-chain†grocery stores.

    The next most expensive ingredient in many curries is the coconut milk. But don’t fret, it’s not uncommon for brand name coupons to be in circulation for coconut milk. And it’s not uncommon to see store brand cans for less than $1.50.

    Reduce the costs of the shrimp and coconut milk as best you can…as the remaining ingredients are all very inexpensive. (Don’t pay more than $1 for a mango.)

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
