I'm not sure what your budget is like but mine is tight. So tight I often think my wallet is on life support and trying to buy the food I need on my budget...can be like the Olympics of mental calculations sometimes.
That being said...I still need to eat.
One thing my Mother taught us as kids was how to stretch a dollar and to plan ahead. Mom also taught us to "stock up" on the things you need when they're on sale. One lesson I still use today is to buy a family pack of meat for example and break it down into smaller meals for myself. I can often get 6-8 meals from a family pack of hamburger meat for example or even of sausages too.
What tricks and tips do you use to make your money go further in the grocery store? Do any of them look like the list here? You may live on a budget but you still need to eat. What can you do in your life to stretch your budget a little further still?
The foods we eat can play an important role in our health and well being and can also impact how our medications work and the illnesses we live with too...and I know too that when living on a tight budget...it's not always easy to eat right or healthy...but there are things we can do for us to make things a little easier.
So the next time your wallet is on life-support and you're needing to stretch your dollars... give thought to some of these ideas and see what you can do differently when buying your food.
take good care of you and don't forget to eat okay?
