Frugal Food

Frugal food tips is one of the best ways to save money. I'm always on the lookout on how to save on groceries. I have gathered a list of my most used frugal food tips:

•   Don't purchase soda
•   Dilute canned frozen juice, (if purchased at all)
•   Save juice from canned fruit, to freeze into popsicles
•  Don’t buy eggs, raise chickens
•   Buy meat on sale or clearance only
•    Buy bananas which are turning brown, to make breads, muffins and pancakes.
•  Hot cereal is cheaper than cold cereal
•   Use coupons for food you will actually eat.
•  Use powdered milk for cooking
•  Make your own sweet tea, using as few tea bags and sugar as possible
•   Limit eating out. When eating out don’t order drinks, eat lunch instead of dinner, or just go out for dessert
•  Stock pile food items on sale which you will use
• Use a freezer for frozen sale items
•  Cook from scratch
•  Shop discount grocery stores
• Eat less meat
•  Bake from scratch, items for breakfast and snacks
• No packaged convenience foods
• Eat only when hungry
•  Grow your own food
•  Use a root cellar for surplus garden foods (still on my on to do list)
• Can fruit from fruit trees, your own or your neighbors (with permission of course)
