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 por-

tions in containers. Use them throughout the week and you won’t

have to spend money on take-out meals.

active after dinner or start the

weekend with a Saturday

gymnastics, dance, or tennis.

Help them practice. This will

something active as a reward.

lake to treat the family.
