Tips on How to Save Money as Food Prices Rise

1. Grocery Shopping

   Most likely you have 3 grocery stores within 10 minutes of you. They will all have different sales on each week. Use Flipp.com and plan to buy at sale prices or in bulk. This can save you a substantial amount of money, especially if you’re buying for growing kids.
   

2. Meals & Meal Prep

   Plan your meals for the week, or at least half of them to avoid having to make that last minute decision “what are we having for dinner tonight?”. Less eating out, take out, and less food waste.
   

3. Have 1 or 2 Veg-Based Meals

   Include 1 or 2 vegetarian or vegetable-based meals in the week such as a pasta, chili, stir fry or homemade pizza.
   

4. 1 Egg-Based Dinner

   Eggs are a less expensive protein choice. Make one of your dinners an omelet, scramble or eggless quiche.
   

5. Make Your Own Food

   Making a batch of muffins, cookies, granola or muesli instead of buying store-bought version will save you money. These things freeze really well too.
   

6. Frozen Fruit and Avocado Chunks

   Make use of frozen fruit when fresh is not in season or on sale. You can also find frozen avocado chunks, frozen pomegranate seeds and other things you might like to add to your smoothie.
