TIPS FOR SAVING MONEY ON GROCERIES

‍ ‍

Here are some tips on saving money on groceries while remaining good Earth Stewards.

‍ ‍

●      Careful planning is step one. This means setting a budget, making up meal plans for the week (including leftovers), checking cupboards and fridge for items on hand and making a shopping list.

‍ ‍

●      Check ads for sales and compare prices at various stores. Join your store’s loyalty plan but be aware of schemes for buying items that do not fit your meal or health plans.  However, some might be priced right for stocking up.

‍ ‍

●      Check out discount areas for things like ripe bananas (think banana bread). 

‍ ‍

●      Avoid plastic-wrapped produce and cut fruit. Dedicate one waterproof bag for “wet”  produce and skip the thin plastic bag. Check out farmer’s markets and seasonal deals.

‍ ‍

●      Store food properly at home. Label and date freezer items. Soups and stews stretch meals and use leftovers.
