My Top 10 Savvy Money Saving Grocery Tips
- Grow your groceries! Stretch your grocery budget by planting those green onions, beets and carrots you brought home from the store. You can do this inside your home or on a balcony.
- Pray for guidance. No, I am not kidding! God promises -"I know the plans I have for you.Plans to prosper you and not harm you." Ask Him to lead you to what He wants to do and buy. Amazing things will happen when you do!
- Read labels. Get the most nutrition for your money. Yes, milk from the dairy section may appear to be cheaper than evaporated milk, but when you compare the nutritional value - which is the better buy? Which is cheaper to store and which is cheaper to transport?
- Make your own groceries. Many home made foods are nutritionally better for us and also cheaper - but not always, so be sure to read those labels!
- Do an inventory before you shop so you don't have a zillion bottles of mustard about to expire in your cupboard.
- Switch to cloth for as many paper products as possible - yes even toilet paper. This is a new epiphany for me due to the COVID-19 crisis. I used cloth diapers for my children, so why did I not think of this earlier?
- Reuse grocery packaging - juice cartons make handy containers for growing your green onions!
- Plan your meals around sale items.
- Use spices creatively to add flavour to vegetable soups.
- Cook once, serve multiple ways.
