[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Take inventory of your kitchen cabinets and freezer and meal plan around what you already have in-house. We are trying a low-spend January and that is one of the better tips I've read. How does that reduce expenses, though? I get that, using food that you have and not replacing it will help temporarily with cash flow, but you'll eventually need to replenish that stock, right?[/quote] Follow the sales. Plan meals around the sales. Each grocery chain has lower prices on specific items so find out which chain has the best prices on the higher priced items that you use. Prices are going to drop on ham and turkeys now that we're past the holidays, so it's a good time to buy a couple for current/future use. If you buy ham/turkey lunch meats from the deli, consider substituting fresh turkey for example, and roasting it yourself. After carving off the meat, use the bones/scraps to make hearty soups in bulk, and freeze portions.[/quote]
