Frugal Use of Your Food Budget

[1] When going grocery shopping instead of making a shopping list, make a list of what you have in your pantry and refrigerator. This way, you will not buy duplicates items or things that can not be used with items you already have on hand.

[2] One to 2 days a week, eat from what is in your pantry or refrigerator. Delaying your weekly shopping even one day a week will save on your food budget. It's like eating free 4 days a month.

[3] If you are at a pot luck where food is left over, ask to make yourself a plate to take home. Even one free lunch will save on your food budget.

[4] Always ask for a doggie bag when eating out. Leaving half of your food on the plate is like giving away part of your food budget.

Happy Savings, Faylee
