Shop with a grocery list and I try to shop when I am not hungry<br /><br />2. Try to use coupons<br /><br />3. Plan out meals (she might find it easier to cook on weekends or 1 night a week when she is home earlier and eating leftovers for the rest of the week). <br /><br />4. Always keep some easy/quick meal ingredients on hand for nights when you don't feel like cooking.<br /><br />5. Try new recipes *I tend to look in the grocery flyers and if something is a great price I try to incorporate it even if it means trying a new recipe.<br /><br />6. Check the flyers for sales<br /><br />7. Check for any reward plans the grocery stores offer<br /><br />8. I buy frozen or canned veggies if fresh is too expensive<br /><br />9. Try to use ingredients in more than 1 recipe/meal a weekChristinanoreply@blogger.com
