With food prices rising, Americans want more caloric bang for their buck. A poll by Allrecipes.com, a social network for chowhounds, gives a look at how consumers plan to economize on food this fall.

Eighty-four percent of respondents to the survey (conducted in August and September) said they’ll prepare more meals at home.
