As food is a major expense for most people, mealtime may provide the perfect opportunity to save some money. I mean, why not. Why be wasteful?
Here are a few money-saving tips that can help you spend less on your meals.
1. Price match your grocery purchases.
Most grocery stores offer price matching as a way to help their customers save money. If you don’t already price match your groceries, then consider doing so from now on. All you’ll need in most cases is a current advertisement from another qualifying store showing the same product for a lower price.
- Go meatless for one or two dinners a week.
Meat is often the most expensive part of any meal. Therefore, if you want to save some money at mealtime, consider going meatless for one or two dinners a week. For a little extra fun, use your new meatless meals as a chance to experiment with new flavours and ingredients. After all, even the super-rich a few centuries ago did not eat meat every day. They consumed 200-300 grams per week.
- Create a vegetable garden.
Growing vegetables can be a great way to save money at mealtime—especially during the summer months. Also, it adds fun and a sense of accomplishment in your life. Even a small windowsill garden can help cut down on grocery expenses if you don’t have the time or space for anything larger. If you’re feeling especially ambitious, consider renting a plot in a community garden to maximize your savings.
