With the rising cost of food, saving money on food sometimes seems like a misnomer. Frugal meal preparation is possible, however, with a little effort on your part.
-
Grow your own herbs, even if only on your windowsill or on a small patio. Use organic soil and heirloom seeds whenever possible for the healthiest food.
-
Do the same with a food garden, even if growing everything in containers because there is a lack of space.
-
Use the cheapest size eggs available, regardless of what the recipe says. You almost never need large, or even medium, eggs.
-
When baking extra batches at once, eliminate an egg. It will not change the taste or texture of the recipe.
-
Use reconstituted powdered milk when baking.
-
Use water when making French toast, rather than milk.
-
Bake multiple items at once to save money.
-
Use plain, generic brand yogurt when baking, rather than flavored.
-
Purchase store/generic brands whenever possible. In most cases, they are the same as the brand name version that the store sells. Other than the packaging.
-
Freeze leftovers for stews, soups and casseroles. They will also be good in one-pan meals.
These simple steps will save you money on groceries each month.
