Five Frugal Ways to Feed Your Family
1.Purchase high quality foods full of fiber and nutrients, like whole
grain breads, bean and lentil dishes, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
These high quality items will fill you up quicker than processed foods so
you actually eat less.
2. Learn to cook your own meals! A family of four can save up to $400 each
month, simply by eating out less and cooking at home more.
3. Slow down, savor your food, and eat less. Eating less only leads to
good things. You’ll: save money on food, lose weight and be healthier, and
live longer.
4. Reserve soda, chips, lattes, ice cream and other treats for special
occasions. Cutting back to one latte a week can save nearly $1000 this
year.
5. Write and follow a weekly menu to save money at the grocery store and
limit impulse purchases.
