Write an article based on this "Buy store brands. Purchase produce in season. Use canned fish instead of fresh. Buy whole chicken or bone-in chicken instead of boneless. Opt for tougher cuts of meat. Cook with cheaper forms of protein, like eggs and beans. Get more out of your meal by using rice or pasta."
article: More often than not, the generic store brand of any given product costs less than the name brand, even though the two products are virtually identical. Fruits and vegetables that are in season are priced to sell, so they cost less than produce not in season. For instance, corn-on-the-cob can cost up to ten times more out of season than it does during the summer months, when it is in season. Fresh seafood can be very expensive. By comparison, canned tuna and salmon are quite cheap, and they also contain high amounts of protein and helpful omega-3 fatty acids. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are convenient to prepare, but this convenience will cost you extra. Bone-in pieces and whole chickens will save you on cost per serving. You can even remove the bones before you cook the chicken and save them to make stock later on. Tougher cuts of meat, like beef chuck roasts and pork shoulders, cost less than tender cuts. Slow cooking these meats using low heat can make them just as delectable, though. Try preparing a stew or slow-cooker meal using these cuts. In general, meat can be rather expensive. Eggs and beans are both healthy alternatives that offer high levels of protein at significantly cheaper prices. Both products are already fairly cheap. Moreover, they can usually be bought cheaper in bulk and have extended expiration dates. Enhance stews and stir-fries with pasta or rice, or prepare them for a simple side dish.

article: Jacarandas thrive with sun, and should be planted in an area that will receive frequent, direct sunlight for most of the year. Plant the tree at least 15-feet (4.5 meters) away from any nearby buildings, and do not plant seedlings in the shade of other, larger trees. Jacaranda trees will suffer if their roots don't drain well, and they need fertile, rich soil to provide them with nutrients. If you're planting your tree in a large planter or pot, place the jacaranda in a rich soil mixture. A local nursery or Garden center should have a variety of soil bags for sale, and sales staff can help you select a healthy mixture for your jacaranda. If you plant the tree directly into the ground, you'll have less control over the makeup of the soil than if you were buying it from a plant nursery. Look for a patch of soil that isn't prone to having puddles and has other plants already growing in it. Jacarandas need frequent watering in order to grow and thrive in temperate climates. Healthy jacaranda trees grow quickly, but will wilt and possibly die if given insufficient water. Between March and October, use a household hose to water the jacaranda tree about once a week. During the cooler winter months, you do not need to water the tree as regularly. The jacaranda will not be growing during November through February, and so you should only water the tree about once a month. Although they begin small as seedlings, jacarandas can grow into massive trees. Jacarandas commonly reach between 25-50 feet (7.6-15 meters) in height and can have a width of 15-30 feet (4.5-9 meters). Plant the jacaranda in a large, open area where it will have room to grow to its full size. For example, jacarandas do well in large front or back yards. If you plant the jacaranda in an already cramped or crowded space (e.g. under a patio roof or between narrow walls) it will not grow to its full size and may wither and become unhealthy. Plant the tree at least 15-feet (4.5 meters) away from homes and other structures so that falling branches are less likely to cause damage.

Write an article based on this "Look at the Gregg shorthand alphabet. Use the correct shape and length for the consonant symbols. Represent vowels with circles. Use the proper punctuation marks in Gregg shorthand."
article:
The Gregg shorthand method is phonetic, so it follows the sound of words, rather than the spelling of words. It uses hooks and circles as symbols for words. Like the Pitman method, it has a separate set of symbols for consonants and vowels. You can find the Gregg shorthand alphabet here: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/shorthand.htm. Each consonant is represented by a hook that is a different shape and length. Some consonants, like "n" or "m," are straight vertical lines. Other consonants, like "f" or "v," are more horizontal and curved. Study each consonant to ensure you are writing it correctly. In some cases, multiple consonants are represented with one symbol based on the sound of the word, such as the sound "n-d" in "and" or "m-n" in "men." The Gregg method uses circles of different sizes to notate the vowel sounds in words. Common vowels like "a" are represented by a large circle, while vowels like "e" are represented by a smaller circle. Make sure you notate vowel sounds correctly with circles, rather than just how the vowel appears written in the word. For example, the vowel sound "oo" is represented by an open circle at the bottom. The vowel sound "ea" is represented by a circle with a dot in the center. Punctuation marks like a period, a question mark, and a hyphen are represented by different symbols in Gregg shorthand. The symbol for the punctuation mark should appear above the bottom line of the page. For example, a period is represented by a small dash and a question mark is represented by a small "x."
