This is handy. I am really bad at reigning in the grocery budget. The only problem is I may need new glasses after I read it all (blurry!)
Let's see if I can crack the blurry code:
Vegetarian Foods
Eat more vegetarian foods (done). Meat can be expensive while legumes, beans, rice and veggies are less so and can be a great source of satisfying protein.
Buy In Bulk
Buy in bulk when possible,Items such as rice stay good for a long time (even brown rice, people, just use it regularly) and cost less when bought in bulk. (If you have Winco, it's a great place to buy bulk.)
Eat More Fiber
More fiber, less refined sugars and hydrogenated oils increase our appetite and therefore our spending on food. Fruits, veggies and nuts however are packed with fiber therefore filling us up and ultimately decreasing our spending on more food.
Pack your lunch
Pack your lunch. Always cheaper and healthier than a restaurant. (We always do this.)
Water Bottle
Carry a water bottle with you everywhere. This prevents you from buying water, soda, juice, etc.
How cute would this be at a spring or summer picnic or other get together. Just add some sort of dip. It looks easy and fun for kids to make.
