‘Cheapest’ mom shares tips for frugal family-feeding
Below is the link to full story about a mom who shares her frugal family feeding tips. They are pretty good tips to follow if you need to save money feeding your family, like we all do.
Here are some highlights from the article:
- Cook more meals at home. Cooking a simple meal isn’t that hard — you’ll eat healthier and spend way less cash.
- Use the ads to your advantage. Careful stocking up on sale items and loss-leaders will really cut your grocery bill. Incorporate as many sale items into your weekly menu as possible.
- Take time to plan. It only takes a few minutes to plan a week’s worth of dinner meals. Having a simple menu planned will minimize visits to the drive-thru lane, reduce trips to the grocery store, and save you a ton of time and money.
- Avoid impulse buys. If you’re not using a shopping list you’re likely to pick up more items on impulse. Research shows that impulse buys count for almost 60 percent of the average shopper’s purchases.
- Stay out of the store. The less often you go to the store, the more money you’ll save.
