Stretching your food dollar and spending less on groceries is popular among all crowds today, whether your monthly income is substantially less or you’re just looking to shop smarter. We often associate budget meals with unhealthy foods, but there are several ways to still eat a balanced, budget-friendly diet. Below are some tips that can help you stretch your food dollar further each month.
Assess food waste. A good way to start stretching your food dollar is to assess the amount of food waste that is typical for your household. Food thrown away is money thrown away. Are there certain foods that can be bought in smaller quantities? Are you known for cooking large batches of food but can’t finish leftovers before they go bad? Determine the major culprits for food waste in your household, then brainstorm ways to reduce waste. Decreasing food waste can save quite a few extra dollars.

Take Salad Season to the Next Level
Warmer months typically call for lighter bites, and one of the first things that comes to mind for many is a fresh and flavorful salad. While a salad is a quick and easy way to up your veggie intake and get food on the table in next to no time, the same formula over and over again can make mealtimes feel mundane. To take your salads to the next level, think of those greens as a blank slate for creativity and look beyond the bowl for elements that can help create new, satisfying meals.
