With the economy in recession at present, many families sacrifice luxury items. The food budget is necessary, but with careful planning there are ways to spend less money on food per week. Here are nine tips to keep your budget under the control of food.
1. Buy less tender cuts of meat and cook slowly in a glass jar. I want the stove to brown meat first to warm up quickly. Once the meat is cooked, add the meat to the sauce pot with glass type, juices, canned soups or sauce and let the soft and slow cook for hours. I try to do in the morning, so when my children came home from school, can rely on a healthy diet crock pot appetizers help fill time. In the days that are organized and free time in the morning, I have several pots of pot with two separate entrances, usually roast or soup or stew. New favorite dish in our house slowly cooked pork chops with orange juice and topped with orange marmalade before serving.
2. It remains to use the soup. Every few days I’m going to the refrigerator and add the minced embassies and wilted vegetables, soup of chicken broth and one day only, sweat sweat. If you do not have enough remnants of a pot of soup may be the remains of what use, and soup and other simple ingredients such as frozen vegetables, chicken or a can of beans.
3. The plant and cuts of meat to the broth. I love the high water in the boiler pot is hot and where to throw all my stored messages – peel carrots, chicken bones, skins, onion, zucchini, ends, etc. After the remains of cooked meat to through bottom, turned to low temperature and simmer the soup can be for an hour so the flavors mentioned.
4. Keep a price book, so that the price of everything you buy regularly know. Many of them can not even shop for sale at low prices, such as Costco and Sam’s club prices.
5. Shop at Costco or Sam’s Club. A local consumer magazine in our region are the prices in this area, there are almost 40% lower than comparable retail products in supermarkets.
6. They selectively use coupons. Use coupons only for products that are regularly used, or knowing that your family enjoy the food, because sometimes simply wasting time and money. Combining coupons with items already on sale is actually saving money.
7. Stick or frozen for longer lasting products if intended for sale. You can use a return of 100% of your money by purchasing basic needs before 2 for 1 sales.
8. If you pay your debit card each month for their food with a cash rebate credit card to pay. At present, some cards provide a backup to 2% of purchases every day.
9. Do you have a list of quick meals for busy nights you can see the refrigerator or cupboard ingredients, always use a hand. That way you will be tempted to use the fast food restaurants on busy nights or if you have not had time to plan a complete dinner. One of my fast food fries are made with frozen French fries topped with canned chili. I served with vegetables and fruit salad for a meal that takes only a few minutes for preparation.
