by | July 18, 2018
Food ranks among the largest expenses households face. Watch the video for tips on how to take control of your spending on food – while still eating well throughout the week.
Here’s a rundown of the pointers to keep in mind:
1. Make a weekly meal plan: Before you head to the supermarket, map out what you’ll be eating each day.
2. Eat the food that expires soonest first: And organize your fridge accordingly, with the oldest perishables up front.
3. Skip pricier cuts of meat: Think chicken thighs and wings over chicken breasts.
4. Learn to read food labels: By knowing the difference between “sell by” and “use by,” you’ll cut down on food that’s tossed too soon.
5. Choose multipurpose ingredients: Opt for versatile foods you can work into several meals as part of your weekly plan.
6. Flip your dining-out routine: Restaurants may be more likely to offer discounts early in the week.
