Shop Your Pantry
Before you go to the grocery store, look in your pantry to see what items you can make into a meal with just a few additional purchases. Use items gathering dust like rice and pasta, as well as canned vegetables, chili and soup, to plan meals for the week. This way, you save money on groceries by consuming what you already have. Plus, you’ll create less food waste at the same time.
Once you create a spending routine at the grocery store, you’ll be able to stay on budget more easily. You can take your savings at the end of the week to put towards other home needs or roll it over into the following week’s grocery budget.
