By substituting cheaper ingredients for expensive ones, you can save some dollars. Some cookie recipes may call for butter, when you can use half margarine and half butter. Or use less expensive nuts for example: walnuts for pecans.
If making "Guinness Beef Stew" or other recipes involving stout, substitute the much-cheaper Latino soft drink called malta (available in urban supermarkets and at Hispanic markets). Malta runs about half a buck per bottle as opposed to $3-something for stout and is just as good for cooking purposes.
