How To Save Real Money On Real Food
7. Buy Produce in Season
When fruits and vegetables go way down in price, it’s because they are in season and there is a great deal of them available. This also means that, more than likely, the produce was grown locally. This is the time to buy and enjoy them. Think pears and apples in fall, veggies such as cabbage and broccoli in the winter, asparagus and strawberries in the spring, and corn, peaches, and plums in the summer.
8. Cook Once, Eat Twice
This is a great way to save money so that on those nights when you get home too late to cook your planned meal: you can just go directly to the freezer and pull out a meal that is already made. Make enough spaghetti sauce for two meals and freeze half, or bake two chickens and freeze one. This way, no one is tempted to order pizza because there is no time to cook. Put that spaghetti sauce in a pan, the noodles in the pot, make a salad, and you are good to go in 30 minutes or less.
9. Buy Whole Chickens
Learn how to cut up a chicken and save some serious bucks. You will always be able to buy a whole chicken for much less than the cut up pieces. Cut and bag similar pieces (all breasts in one bag, thighs in another, etc.) so you can pull out exactly what you want when you are ready for it.
