[quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with everyone who said to plan the meals for the week before grocery shopping. And go grocery shopping at non-peak times, if at all possible. Going to Whole Foods on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon makes me want to punch a B in the throat...

Also, figure out some staple meals, or even "themes" for meals, that you know you can whip up quickly every week. For example, pasta is easy and cheap. Mexican is also easy and cheap. We also try to make a huge pot of soup at least once a week, which then becomes lunch or dinner for several days. Pair it with a salad with beans and a hard boiled egg and that's a pretty decent meal.

I admit that we go to the grocery store more than once a week - usually it's two or three times - but the recurring visits are usually because we want to have, say, fish on a certain night and don't want to buy that too far in advance.

Also, Pinterest has become our best friend since we started trying to save money by eating at home. [/quote]
