Question

I am spending too much a month on groceries! I am not buying what I should be.... What are some things I can buy to save me money, that may last a little longer than one meal? (Leftovers, crockpot ideas,....) anyone have any suggestions? Please and thanks :-)))

Answer

Planing ahead. Set a budget for how much you want to spend.

Plan meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) 
Look for coupons and sales
Check out recipes that can last longer than one night.

Answer

I check what's on sale and then plan my meals for the week around that. Mason jar salads are awesome for taking to work. You put a little dressing in the bottom, then put a crunchy veggie like carrots, then your protein, layer whatever you want, then fill it up with whatever greens you like. They'll keep in the fridge for several days and I just grab a salad and a paper plate on my way out the door. When you dump the salad out on the plate, it's in the normal order of a salad and the lettuce is still crunchy.

Answer

I always make sure I will have left overs. This weeks menu is pork fried rice, chicken enchiladas, polled pork sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms and mashed taters, and baked pork chops with pasta. (I have a hard time with red meat).

Answer

Rice. You can do so many things with rice that are easy. Like put rice and cola flower and some cheese on top and bake in in the oven and you have dinner and leftovers it's so yummy. Or make spicy rice and a piece of chicken and throw it into a burrito and you have a burrito and some yummy rice to. don't buy junk food it's not very filling. Chicken depending where you get it it's not expensive. Coupon, look in stores sale adds and compare prices. You dont have to buy name brand food. Like compare which is cheaper per unit( most have it on the price tag like the price per unit)

Answer

Taco soup 👌 (crock pot)

Answer

I would stay off buying lots of junkfood if you do, or even compare prices from different stores and change where to shop if you don't want to change what you buy too much!
