So, how are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? They’re something almost all of us make, even if we know that we’re not going to stick with them for very long, but I guess it’s the thought behind them that counts, right?

A pretty common resolution is to find ways to save more money. After all, life isn’t getting any cheaper, and I think most of us wouldn’t mind having a few extra bucks kicking around at the end of the day. Luckily, the hosts of isode, airing on Saturday, Jan. 20, is no exception.

This week, the hosts are cooking on a budget, and the penny-pinching advice that they have can be useful for anyone who does the grocery shopping and kitchen prep.

First, host Sunny Anderson (“Cooking for Real”) shows off how to make a super-affordable but oh-sodelicious meat and potatoes bundt loaf that definitely won’t break the bank. Later, the hosts break down a shopping cart and share their expert advice on where to get the best prices for some common grocery items.

(“Iron Chef America”) all serve as co-hosts, and it’s easy to tell that the rapport between them is very real. Every week, the four share a few delicious recipes and some of their best culinary tips and advice, and the show’s frequent guest visitors help to keep things fresh.

It isn’t just about the delicious food and the cheery company, though — at least, not with Zakarian on the job. The man may be a genius in the kitchen, but he’s also a skilled mixologist, and every week he creates a tasty cocktail to share with his co-hosts.
