[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest bang for your buck are menu planning, making the same menus monthly, and then tracking the price of your ingredients so you can confidently stock up when they go on sale.

Next tackle food waste by figuring out a system for leftovers. Freeze, reheat for lunches, or have one day per week when everyone eats leftovers; or use leftover wizardry to turn leftovers into something new.

Find a good cookbook or website with reliable recipes that don't cost too much. I'm quite fond of Spend With Pennies lately. Her recipes usually turn out great, and do not call for a lot of unusual ingredients.

Have some budget Old Faithful standbys for nights when you are too tired to cook so you don't resort to expensive takeout or delivery.

Learn to cook your favorite expensive foods more cheaply from scratch if you can.

Shop at stores strategically. My favorite these days is Lidl. I am a member of their "Club" but honestly the food is already so cheap, the discounts don't save much more.

Raise inexpensive kids who are happy to eat snacks like homemade popcorn and apple slices with peanut butter; eat breakfast like homemade oatmeal or musli instead of boxed cereal, and home made pizza dough for pizzas instead of delivery.

Make lunch sandwiches ahead of time (without the condiments) and wrap and freeze them. Add the coniments later whn you pack the lunch box.

Drink mostly water. Eat whole fruit.

Teach your children how to cook.

If you buy the dominis $6.99 medium 2 topping pizza deal, it is far cheaper than making pizza from scratch.[/quote]

The last time that I ordered Domino’s Pizza, I ended up throwing it in the trash anfter eating one piece . And I’m no foodie. It was terrible.[/quote]
