With these tough times we are going through right now & most likely more tough financial times ahead as well, tips for saving money on food is an important thing! Diet Blog had a decent article on this like the following:
- Make a list and stick to it
- Cut up your own veggies vs. buying pre-cut which are more expensive
- Buy the bargains & larger package sizes & freeze
There are more points in this article to read but I have a couple myself.
- Shop the outer edges of the super market where the the whole foods are vs. all those packaged goods which can cost more & are less healthy for you.
- Don't shop hungry! You are likely to buy more, buy things you really should not & possibly eat while you are shopping.. YIKES!
- Shop at Costco, Sam's or super stores where you can get better prices. Just be aware that things come in HUGE packages so freezing may be a must if you are a small family. DON'T get carried away & buy things you don't need as I see people do there often. Make that list & stick to it there too.
Here is the Diet Blog article & if my readers have suggestions, send them in!
