i've always gone by with the block of cheese and the whole chicken tip.
1The list tip is very true. I always walk out with more stuff than I need if I don't go in and stick with my list.
Curtis can come home and cook for me anyday.
2I buy in bulk - it's usually a lot cheaper than the packaged stuff.
3Great tips!
4Grocery Game has been a tremendous help - I've saved quite a bit of money through them.
5I buy meat that's near the sell-by date sometimes. You can really get a good deal and it's completely fine to eat if you're going to make it right away.
6also i will freeze my leftovers of soups, stews, etc. that way when money is low, i know that i have something delicious still on hand and don't always have to resort to pb&j or ramen
7I make my meal plan for two weeks, using the shared ingredients tip, and look at which of my neighborhood stores has the best price. I buy in bulk and separate into our needed portions and "seal a meal" them. We have started eating a lot more bean dishes too as those are cheap, easy and healthy.
8I buy in bulk and then separate into servings and freeze. The next couple of months are going to be tight, so I'm glad to have these tips!
