What’s for dinner 12

April 5, 2014 By: veronicacomment

While working with the finances and planning budgets other families as well as our own, I have learned that food expenses are often a very big part of a family’s overall expenses. On a positive note, it is also normally the place where it is most easy to save some money.

Here are a few tips to lower food expenses, all of them I use on a weekly basis:

  • Planning meals a week ahead – saves both time and money as it makes grocery shopping more focused as well as takes the headache away of not knowing what to cook.

 

  • Shopping by a grocery list – helps avoiding buying food items that we don’t need or will not use.

 

  • Shopping once (or twice) a week – takes away the risk of buying those extra unnecessary items.

 

  • Not having meat every day, but only a few times a week.

 

  • Buying things that doesn’t spoil in bulk when they are on sale (grains, flour, cleaning articles..)

Here is our meal plan for the coming week:

Sunday: Fettuccine with Tomato Sauce

Monday: Beef with Spring Onions, carrots and Cashews

Tuesday: Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup with Baguettes

Wednesday: Risotto with Lemon and Peas

Thursday: Sweet and Salty Salmon with green salad

Have a great week 🙂
