The three main steps to saving money on the foods that you eat.

are (1) planning before you shop, (2) purchasing the items at the

best price, and (3) preparing meals that stretch your food dollars.

1. PLAN YOUR MEALS FOR THE WEEK before you head

to the grocery store Include meals like stews or stir-fries, which

“stretch” expensive items into more portions.

2. GET THE BEST PRICE by checking the newspaper and online

for coupons and at the store for sales. Ask about a loyalty card for

extra savings at stores where you shop. You can also BUY LOW

COST OPTIONS such as beans for proteins, carrots, greens, and

potatoes for vegetables and apples, bananas and oranges are

great choices for fruits. BUYING IN BULK is almost always less

expensive. Smart choices are family packs of chicken, steak and

ground beef or pork, Before you shop, remember to check if you

have enough freezer space.

3. COOK ONCE. AND EAT ALL WEEK. Prepare a large batch

of your favorite recipes on your day off then freeze individual

portions in containers. Use them throughout the week and you

won’t have to spend money on take-out meals.
