Do you need to cut your grocery bill?

If you are like me, saving money on food cost is important. We also want to eat healthy foods. This means we have to shop wisely.

Here’s a couple grocery saving tips:

• Plan your weekly food menus with healthy eating recipes and make a grocery list with those items before you shop. This saves you time in the store and can save you a lot of money because you are less likely to buy on an impulse.
• It easy to fall into a rut of eating the same unhealthy and expensive foods. But once you take back control by planning your weekly food menus with healthy eating recipes, you can enjoy a nice variety of meals again.

• Shop with a LIST. This is very important. It will help you purchase what you need and not forget something. Stick to your list and avoid impulse buying.
• Convenience foods often cost more than making something from scratch.
  So, for your thrifty living plan, avoid frozen dinners and precooked deli foods.
  However, some convenience foods such as cake mixes are more economical than making them from scratch.

• Hot cereals cost less per serving than ready-to-eat cereals.
• Save 1/2 of large restaurant meals for the next day’s lunch or dinner.
• If your schedule allows, do some of the preparation yourself, such as buying a whole chicken instead of skinless, boneless chicken, which will cost more.
• Shop alone if possible. Children tend to talk us into buying things we don't need.
• Drink water and skip the sodas. Saves money and is better for you.
