It IS possible to eat well on a tight budget,
528895 023 Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Infrared 23(46), but one thing is certain: planning is essential. Winging it makes it virtually impossible to minimize grocery expenditures. I speak from experience. As a newbie cook I made every mistake in the budgeting book. I still cringe at the thought of how much food and money I waste each week because I didn have a plan.
If you new to meal planning, I recommend that you start by generating at least two week worth of menus and shopping lists. Then,
136064 141 Nike Air Jordan 3 True Blue 2001(19), once you get comfortable with the basics of meal planning, you can work on reducing the cost of your weekly shop. For example, when I started I typically spent $275 per week on groceries for our family of four (oofa!). Just getting the basics of meal planning down helped me shave $75 off of that amount each week without even batting an eyelash. Then,
325387 161 Nike Air Jordan 6 VI Retro Olympic Flag(19), over the past two years I have used the tricks below to get my typical weekly spend down to around $125 and I buy pretty much everything organic.
Here are 15 ways to trim costs on your weekly food bill.
One of the best ways to save big is to invest in a chest freezer. We can buy sale items in bulk and stock up for later,
528895 153 Air Jordan 11 Low Concord White Black Concord(23). (Hooray for BOGO sales,
314254 107 Air Jordan 4 Columbia White Legend Blue Midnight Navy(6)!) I can also double up recipes and freeze one for later,
528895 110 Air Jordan 11 Low White Black True Red 2013(9).
We are lucky enough to live somewhat near a Costco,
528895 033 Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Green Snakeskin Black Nightshade White Volt(26), so we go weekly for staples like fruits,
318376 001 Air Jordan XX3 Black Red Stealth(9), veggies, frozen stuff, and milk. They also have coupons,
136027 035 Kids Air Jordan 5 Oreo 2013(12), so if you know what you are doing, you can really rack up savings far beyond the cost of membership. If you can use a gigantic flat of fruit,
302370 106 Air Jordan 9 Retro Barons White Black Neutral Grey(3), you can always freeze what you don need for smoothies or split with a neighbor. The trick to Costco is to stick to the grocery side to avoid impulse buying stuff you don need. Menu planning is a huge plus at Costco! There are some great apps out there that will let you plan menus and shopping lists by store.
Lentils! Lentils can be mixed with ground beef to bulk up the beef,
136080 701 Air Jordan 16 Ginger White(17), and they are largely invisible until you get to around 1:1 lentils: beef.
Also: Don serve meat in slabs. We two and a little person people,
395709 301 Air Jordan 2 II Retro QF Candy Pack Classic Green Black White(15), and a single chicken breast usually makes dinner and lunch the next day, but only if I judicious about cutting up the pieces.
One last thing: doesn mean pesticide free,
555088 184 Retro Jordan 1 Black Toe High OG 2013(12), you know. They are allowed to use pesticides,
136029 011 Air Jordan 15 Original Flint Grey White(28), which break down more easily in the environment (Rotenone is one of the major ones). But the biological pesticides are 5X more toxic in people,
647780 735 Nike Lebron 11 Gator King(5), but only 25% as effective as conventional pesticides, so you end up with produce that been sprayed with up to 4X the much more toxic pesticides. I don lose sleep over organic produce; if it makes you feel better, by all means,
310455 001 Air Jordan 20 Stealth Black Red(3), buy the organic stuff. But please stop guilting people into thinking that conventional produce is somehow subpar to the organic sutff.
I love this post I started years ago making meal plans for the week then a few weeks then for the last year I shopped for a month at a time and now just moved up to one shopping trip every two months. Expect to get a few fresh fruit about week 4. I spend $55 week roughly,
Women Size Air Jordan 6 Oreo 2014. Buy stocking up the last few years on canned and dry good and watching sales on meat,
310805 101 Nike Air Jordan 10 X Retro Steels(1). I also cut out all beef we only eat chicken and pork loin from Costco,
528895 110 Air Jordan 11 Low White Black True Red 2013(51). I buy it when is on sale and cut it in to roasts and stakes. I also do anything I can home made. Last we have a bread store by us and I can get good healthy bread for a $1i uses this to make lunch sandwich for the freezer for 2 months a fresh bread for toast and dinner.
