In college, I had a friend's sister who made delicious meals and didn't go to the store until her fridge was bare. It had a big impact on me at that time. If your fridge is always full, you will invariably end up loosing things and throwing rotten food away. Here are a few tips for saving money on food at home.
1. Don't throw food away (eat it before it goes bad)
2. Put items on the top shelf that need to be used first
3. Freeze leftovers if you are going out of town
4. Don't go to the store until ALL of the fruit and vegetables are gone
5. What do you run to the store for? What can you stockpile of those items?
6. If your milk has different use by dates, put the earliest one to expire in front
7. Shop your pantry
8. Not every meal is going to be the best you ever had, be grateful for what you have and eat it.
Step 4 is coming next and then we will delve into recipes and ingredients I am trying. I can't wait to share the things I am learning with you!
